Stress Center?

No, thanks.  I don't need to go to a center to get stress!  There is plenty here to go around!

Meg is catching my cold, so she felt run down and out of sorts today.  Being at home all day with two pre-schoolers can get wearisome, anyway.  Ryan got into the salt shaker again today, and Robin was moody.  By the time I got home from school, they were ready to do something special, but the two adults were "tard".  We had a decent supper, and Meg took the kiddos to the park...only to return 30 minutes later with one child with wet pants.  They got plunked in the tub, jammed into their jammies, and spirited off to bed soon after, long before dark.  (Don't feel sorry for Robin.  She is still awake and up to her bedtime tricks!)

The only real tragedy of our new lifestyle is that it's hard for me to get my after-school nap.  I'm amazed at what a difference it makes in my level of fatigue!  I like coming home to Meg and the children, and I know they like having me home...but I'm going to have to beg for a 30-minute snooze just to make it through the rest of the day!  It doesn't help that I have a stressful job.  (And if you think otherwise, I invite you to trade places with me for a day.  Just one!) 

In any case, we are doing just fine.  The children have planted flower seeds in a pot.  We'll see how that goes.  They are each going to have their own flower pot on Gramma's patio.  The grass is growing back there.  Will need to be mowed soon!

Ever onward and upward.  Two more days before spring break!!!!
