Week in My Life: Thursday’s Child

October 26, 2012 By Erin L. Leave a Comment

Week in My Life: Thursday’s Child

So yeah, I totally bailed on Wednesday. It was a pretty sucky day and I didn’t really feel like rehashing it. Miss E was diagnosed with her very first ear infection and I was in a FOUL FOUL mood.

But I did capture one hilarious “in the moment” picture. Home Boy was not very happy after the fact but E was SO proud of herself. And Bug is so incredibly adorable in his post-bath pic that I just have to share.

Now on to Thursday.

It was definitely a better day today.  I woke on the right side of the bed at least.  Since E was still feeling crummy, I kept her home again.  We took Bug to school and then hit up Barnes & Noble and Old Navy.  Scored a few pieces and then headed home.  E was asleep before we got home and barely moved as I carried her up to her room.  Sweet thing.  I’m hoping tomorrow she’s finally feeling better.

At lunch time, Bug told me to give him “only one carrot” as more than that makes him sleepy.  Apparently the ones I bought this time are much thicker than the others and he gets tired from chewing.  He asked that I get “small carrots” next time.

Our afternoon was full of cookie-baking, reading and playing outside.   All in all, a good day.

The hubs had to work a little late so he wasn’t home for dinner.  We ate leftovers and LOW AND BEHOLD, my daughter ate some cooked spinach (which she adamantly refused the night before.)  It’s a modern day miracle!

Once hubby was home, it was time for bath then bed.  Then I came downstairs to do some writing and work on the computer and hubs sat on the couch to catch up on The Daily Show.  I quickly joined him to watch a Tosh Comedy Special and last week’s 30 Rock.

Tomorrow is FRIDAY!  Hallelujah!

Five fabulous apps for kids

Five fabulous apps for kids

My kids play with my iPhone a lot.  They each have their own section of all their games. When I first got the Samsung Galaxy S3 to try out, I knew I was going to have to find some apps for the kids.  But I was disappointed as some of my most favorite aren’t available… [Read More]

Week in My Life: Tuesday’s Gone

I had a visitor again this morning – this time at 5 a.m.  I should have learned my lesson but in my sleep stupor, I pulled him into our bed.  Yeah, not a good idea. So around 5:30, we went back upstairs.  I made it back down into my own bed by 6 and woke… [Read More]

Week in My Life: Just Another Manic Monday

Welcome to a week in my life! For the next few days, I’m going to be sharing the nitty gritty, the fun, the mundane and everything in between. My Monday started at 4 a.m. with Bug crawling into my bed. About 30 minutes later, it was apparent that he wasn’t sleeping so back up to… [Read More]

Week in My Life starts on Tuesday!

I am so stoked that my friend Melissa (from MomComm and Adventuroo) is doing Week in My Life again this year. While it’s totally hectic and crazy, it’s one of my favorite blogging weeks of the year. The premise is to record the moments of your day, both the big and the small. We have… [Read More]

There is no “how to” for this

There is no “how to” for this

I’m struggling a bit today as a parent.  As I mentioned yesterday, my son took a little spill this weekend while I was out of town. His face is pretty cut up.  It’s all superficial scrapes, nothing too deep and I don’t anticipate any scars. But my little boy is scarred.  He won’t look in… [Read More]

What did I miss while I was gone?

What did I miss while I was gone?

TODAY!  I’m coming home today!  (Thank the lord for in-air wi-fi.) It’s been a little over 3 days since I’ve seen and hugged my munchkins. Saturday morning seems like forever ago. It’s good for me and it’s good for them, but leaving them does cause me to reflect.  I often find myself wondering… What did… [Read More]

Going back to the past – the ABC Kids Expo

Tomorrow morning I head to Louisville, KY for the All Baby and Child Expo, a show that I spent six years of my life planning for much of the year.  I used to plan a booth of 50×50 magnitude, make media appointments and gear up for the biggest sales season for the industry. This year,… [Read More]

I’m tired of wiping your little booty

I’m tired of wiping your little booty

Serious question time.  At what age does potty training end? Oh sure, you may have a kid who pees and poops in the potty all on their own at 2 or 3, but, ahem, you still aren’t really done. Why? Because you still have to wipe their tooshies. And I am SO over this. For… [Read More]
