Sick and tired

by | Feb 26, 2008 | Organization | 7 comments

She’s not in a “laughing mood” was what I heard on the other end of the phone line this morning, after being woken up (on the second attempt) with a few bookkeeping questions.

I honestly can’t remember what it was that I should have laughed at?!?

I’M SO TIRED!!!

Last night, when I should have been cleaning my kitchen up from dinner, I decided to work a bit more on decluttering our bedroom… You see, hubby is gone on training all week, so I thought it would be nice to get it done before he gets back–plus I just don’t sleep well when he’s gone.

Anyhow here is how my night went:

  • Move old Computer off kids dresser in corner of my room
  • Move dresser to girls room
  • No room for dresser in girls room, so start cleaning
  • Dresser needs to replace one of the other pieces of furniture, so decide between toy box and bookshelf
  • Decide on bookshelf
  • Take everything off bookshelf.
  • Bookshelf won’t budge and I don’t feel like looking for tools
  • Decide on toy box
  • Put all books back on bookshelf
  • Call mom (at 9:30 PM) for advice
  • She says take the bookshelf out (and go to bed!)
  • Take books back off bookshelf, and try to remove L bracket
  • Unable to remove L bracket
  • Rethink situation, decide to leave bookshelf
  • Decide nursery/guest room dresser would work better in girls room
  • Move the 1st dresser and toy box to guest room
  • Chiquita arrives at guest room door crying
  • She throws up
  • Me seriously wishing hubby was home
  • Clean up… During which I have a small problem with my gag reflex
  • Bathe Chiquita
  • Move toddler bed to bathroom
  • Put Chiquita back in bed (now very near the toilet)
  • Continue to clean carpet
  • Nurse Snuggles
  • Finish moving 2nd dresser to girls room
  • Put books back on bookshelf
  • Take a shower
  • 1:00 AM – Get in bed and Nurse Snuggles
  • Chiquita throws up (all over herself) again
  • And so the night continued…
And it had been such a beautiful day!!! Now, I better go make breakfast and do those dinner dishes! Be back soon–when I am hopefully, in a better mood! 🙂

    Well being that you live so far away I find a small comfort in the fact that we did not share our yuckiness with you.

    So sorry we have to be twins again! Ha Ha Let’s both have good days tomorrow, okay?

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
