| Merry Fa La La La La… |

I have pneumonia.
The kids and the husband have all been sick too.
And the last several weeks we’ve combined our family superpowers to create the holiday schedule from the netherworld.
Doctor appointments, traveling, work, school, exams, projects, more work…
All culminating in a week of nightly 5-hour Christmas ballet rehearsals which went out with a 72-hour Christmas [...]...

I’ve never run a marathon. I probably never will. So the idea of referencing one here is somewhat absurd, but I feel somewhat justified in doing so.
If the past eleven years of my life don’t qualify as some sort of virtual marathon, then I don’t know what would.
And here’s [...]...

So. I’ve been a bit under-the-weather for the past couple weeks with a persistent stomach flu bug and an obnoxiously tenacious fever. And the kid-lets’ patience has been wearing thin…
5-Year-Old: Mommy, I sure hope you start feeling all better soon.
Me: Thank you — what a sweet thing to say!
5-Year-Old: Yeah, you bein’ [...]...

5-Year-Old: Mommy, what’s in-corpy-rated mean?
Me: What would you guess?
5-Year-Old: I dunno. That’s pretty much why I asked you.
Me: It means mixed together.
5-Year-Old: Oh. Ummmmm… Mommy?
Me: Yes?
5-Year-Old: Why wouldja wanna mix monsters tah-gether?
Me: Oh… you mean incorporated like in the movie. In Monsters Inc., incorporated basically means a bunch of monsters working [...]...

… But that, my friends, is a whole year’s worth of homeschool worksheets and lesson plans for the Resident Almost-A-Third-Grader and the Resident Soon-To-Be-Kindergartner.
All copied, prepped, sorted and divided by week.
Ready to go.
Feels good to finally have SOMETHING caught up around here!
Now for the laundry…*sigh*

I’ve never really been a “Friends” fan per sé, but… there is this one episode that my five-year-old always makes me think of.
And laugh.
It’s the one where Joey puts on all the clothes in Chandler’s closet.
Even in summer, the kid has a thing for layers.
And long sleeves.
August approaches and we’ve only just talked [...]...

5-Year-Old: Ummm… Mommy, ya need ta stop singin’.
Me: Why?
5-Year-Old: Well, singin’s not your forté.
Me: What?!?
5-Year-Old: That means you’re not good at it. Maybe you should play the tuba or somethin’.
Hmmmph. And perhaps I SHALL look into tuba lessons this week.

Me and all my little ridiculously obsessive plans for organizational domination of the day, the week, the month, the year… for life in general…
Knocked clear off my map.
Again.
*Sigh*
One would think I would learn.

Apparently this is what happens when an 8-year-old and a 5-year-old decide to play Parcheesi without adult intervention:
8-Year-Old: Here. Roll the dice an’ we’ll see who goes first.
5-Year-Old: YaaaaaYYY!!! I getta go first!
8-Year-Old: NonononoNOOOOOO!! You rolled a two. Now let’s see what I roll. A six! I get to go first! [...]...
