Don’t get me wrong here, school is an absolute must.  But, I have to say that today was wonderful not to have to take J to school.

Last night was not as bad as I thought it might be.  J went to bed and slept.  We checked on him a few times, but the last check in before bed his room didn’t smell the greatest.  So I turned on a few lights to reveal that he had been sick again.  All over his pillow and part of the bed.  I was able to clean him up, move him to our bed and back again after changing his bed and he did not wake up. He did this once before, was sick in his sleep and didn’t wake up.  So, now I am freaked out that he could be sick and choke.  All night Hubby and I woke up and checked in on him.  The night went on without incident.

In fact.  Apple didn’t wake up either.  It was wonderful.  Her first true full night sleep since the night she was born.  When both Apple and J awoke at 5am, I was good to go because I had just had the best sleep since I was about 7 months pregnant.   By  7am everyone was fed, J was showered, Hubby was off to work and Apple was down for a nap.  By 8am, when we normally be leaving for school.  I had all the beds changed, bedding washed, four loads of previous laundry folded and put away. And I had had a shower.  By the time Apple woke at 9am I was well on my way to a full tidy.  I hadn’t been that productive in months.  It was wonderful.

J will be back at school tomorrow.  He has not had another incident.  He still has a minor cough that he has had for two weeks or so, but otherwise he seems to be himself.  Complete with running around the family room (doing laps) after dinner. Hopefully tomorrow’s school day will be productive and that he doesn’t catch something else.  I would love nothing more than to put us all on a plane to somewhere hot and tropical to help get over the sickies, but that just isn’t in the cards right now. So for now we will march on forward and hope for the best.

I did get my craft situation organized and J helped a little.  I will post photos when I get them well on their way.  I realized the other day that most of my frustration about the projects I want to do is that I wasn’t organized.  I love it when the light bulb finally turns on.
