New rule: a mom should always get take-out on a day she cleans up vomit.

My poor kids are so sick. I am sitting here listening to them cough over the monitor. I don't know how it happened,. but all three of us woke up with the same deep chest cough on the same day with no other symptoms. By the end of today, though, Abby has thrown up twice, Zoe has a fever and I feel like..well, like a mom who has two little kids to take care of and can't think about how I feel.

The funny thing is, we are so incredibly overbooked right now. I did it on purpose to keep us all busy but maybe this is the universe's way of telling me..WHOA SLOW DOWN INSANE HELICOPTER MOM WHO HAS HER KIDS INSANELY OVERSCHEDULED. Umm...or maybe it's not yelling that loudly and I might have thrown in the insults myself. But right, we all need to slow down. Other than church today and a brief trip to wal-mart we enjoyed relaxing together and I let everyone watch way more TV than I would care to admit.

Speaking of the trip to wal-mart, zoe has been begging for these things called beyblades. Heard of them? Some sort of top like apparatus where you pull a rip cord out and battle your tops against each other. And in an instant I felt great sympathy for mothers of boys. I thought I had it hard playing Barbies!
