After watching Bantering Blonde’s Casual Friday with Katherine, Megan wanted to do the same thing. So here is our version of Casual Friday.

Join in the Casual Friday fun!

I really do not have some strange obsession with cats. It’s just that we have a kitten that is so cute and my kids love to do things to her that make her look even cuter. Like this.…

Poor kitty.…

Join in the Wordless Wednesday fun at 5 Minutes for Mom.

So are you feeling fonder of me yet? This has been quite a week so far. I’m sick, Nicky is sick and I have a ton of things to do. Why do we always get sick when Jason is out of town? And today I did one of those “yes I’m a bad mommy” things. My 4 yr old is skipping preschool today because I don’t feel well enough to drive her over there. I’m justifying it by telling myself that I’m doing it because we might have strep and I wouldn’t want to expose anyone to strep. But really, I am freezing cold and in my jammies (finally showered after 3 days) and I don’t want to put clothes on so she can learn the letter Z for 3 hours. I know, I know, I am seriously going to pay for this. I can see it already.…

Imagine me, in my 50s (but not looking a day over 38), Megan about 16 and I’m sick and she has a big test and doesn’t want to go to school.

She says, “buuuuut MOOOOMMMMM, that one time 12 years ago when you were sick and I had to learn the letter…ah, uh…what was that letter, Mom? you know the last one in the alphabet, the one I would have learned if you had gotten off your sick butt and taken me to preschool to learn that letter.”

I say, ” you mean Z”

She Says, “yep, that’s it and I need to stay home today. You wouldn’t let me go 12 years ago, why do I have to go to school now when you are sick?”

Yep…I’m going to pay for it because kids never forget things like that. Now, if I ask them where are their shoes or iPod or phone or homework??? They have no idea. But that one thing I did wrong…they’ll remember.

Send us good healthy vibes because I’m sick of feeling sick and I have things to do.

Til next time…

Sami is reading to Megan’s preschool class. It was “S” week and on Thursday they have Show and Share where they bring in 1 thing from home that starts with whatever letter they are doing that week. This week Megan brought her sister, Sami to read a story. She is reading Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that type.

This is our first snowfall of the winter season. We ended up with about 3 inches and the kids had 2 days off of school. Megan is sitting on the computer playing on Club Penguin.

This is my youngest, Megan doing her own laundry. She needs a stool and practically has to climb into the washing machine to get her clothes out, but she is bound and determined to do it herself. And who am I to stop her from helping?
