yesterday was hard. i had a big headache (probably from caffeine withdrawls) the babies are both super snotty and stuffy, sophie got sick and then owen had 3 friends come home from school to play today. i love that he has friends coming to our house so i don't want to kaibosh it, but it was a little much. or a lot. plus, our disposal broke, the washer is showing a sign that reads. blocked pump or suds, penny pulled down the shades in her room too much and broke those and then everytime i leave the room simon climbs up on the kid table in the living room and nearly falls to his death. like i said, yesterday was hard. i texted with doug and carter and that lifted my spirits a bit. was able to talk to doug last night all about the show and got some good details and stories. that helps too. but he had to jump off the phone when we started talking about me and my day and then he never called back. sophie has been shivery and sick all night, penny woke up at 4, simon at 5, sophie was awake at 4 and kept talking to me. didn't get to sleep much. i feel ok this morning, though. headache is gone. called jimmy the plumber to fix my broken things and ive been toying with the idea of hiring the cleaners on friday. that always makes me happy.
