Productivity

Lily was up all night. She has a cold and an allergic reaction all wrapped up in a neat little package. The other day at the jumpy castle on of the moms gave their kid a baggie full of crackers to take into the jumpy castle. Crumbs everywhere. I don't know, Lily might have even eaten a whole cracker. Poor thing. I didn't notice the kid with crackers until it was too late. Too busy chatting. So no gymnastics today.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and we are having guests. So you would think I would be spending my time, cleaning house and planning the cooking. I have a ton of homework from my sadistic history teacher, you would think I would be working on that. When I get overwhelmed instead of being productive, I goof off. I also think that the added stress of last minute stuff is a bit thrilling. Is it any wonder I drive Jeff nuts?

I guess the thing I am most excited about is that Mandy is going to help me cook the meal. She is even going to make her world famous yellow cake. Hopefully Lily will get some sleep today as she was up all night. Right now she is so sweet sitting in the big recliner with her blanket watching cartoons. It breaks my heart that she is in so much discomfort. I sometimes feel like just hiding her away from the world and all their crackers. How old are kids before they can play without eating a cracker? I guess it wont be much longer before I can explain to Lily not to eat other people's food. But, the crumbs of the sticky fingered little monsters everywhere, when will it end? Hopefully as she gets a bit bigger she will not be effected so much by little bits of crumbs. For today we will hide from the world and hope she feels better soon.

I will attempt to be productive today so as not to stress out the family tomorrow. Hope y'all have a great Turkey day.
