1. I'm feeling mostly better today, but would really appreciate it if my colon would act accordingly.
2. I'm starting another round of mommy guilt in which I lament the fact that I haven't been paying enough attention to the kids. Today in an effort to improve things, I took them to the park and Genoa was good, but Alex was an evil, horrible, no good, very bad boy. After being punished TWICE for hitting other kids and/or being a pest, he threw a huge fit when it was time to go, complete with tears and everything. I told him he had to tell his friend Liam goodbye or we wouldn't come back next week, so he mumbled, "Goodbye" and my friend Callie answered, "Bye Alex!" To which Alex grunted out an evil, "I WASN'T TALKING TO YOU! I WAS TALKING TO LIAM!"
Don't you just LOVE IT when your kids are disrespectful to other adults!? Good times!
I made him apologize and I gave him the evil-threat-of-doom lecture on the way to school, but MAN, am I embarrassed.
3. No washing machine! It's making a weird noise and emitting a noxious burnt-rubber smell. Repair man comes tomorrow. I haven't done laundry yet THIS WEEK!
4. No food in the cupboards. I was going to remedy this during Alex's last afternoon of school, but at the last minute the parents were encouraged to come early for a last-day celebration, so now I don't have time to shop until afterwards.
5. My kitchen is a mess. (See yesterday's post).
6. I need to finish delivering fliers to our neighborhood about the 4th of July parade and I would happily do so this afternoon IF MY COLON WOULD JUST COOPERATE.
It's like HAPPY FESTIVUS DAY! What's bugging you?
Wait! I must have missed a post. I thought Alex was no longer at the school? Did you find a new school for him?

Oh, I'm so sorry, Amanda!
