seriously, what WAS I thinking?

After 2 weeks of Matt being out of town and 4 days< with 3 kids vomiting, I think the sleep deprivation might be clouding my judgement just a little.

On our way up to bed tonight, I had the kids help me carry various items up the stairs to be put away.

I handed my 2 year-old a tube of lipstick and 2 tubes of lipgloss and asked her to go put them in my bathroom drawer.

Fabulous idea.

Matt's home, our collective health is restored, and the house is almost sanitized. I think after I throw in the gazillionth load of laundry and start some cinnamon rolls for tomorrow morning ('cuz something's got to get us up for 8 am church), I'll go to bed.

*For those of you using your google reader- HOLY SMOKES, is the text for this post as ginormous in your reader as it is in mine? I edited the HTML, but it's still larger than life. It's not really that big on my actual blog. Surely this post doesn't warrent such exciting text, but oh well. Maybe it will go away.

**Lest you feel sorry for me- Matt was home on the weekend between the 2 weeks, a maximum of only 2 kids were throwing up on any 1 of the 4 given days, and I really do like 8 am chuch...except for the getting up part.

Yep! It was just as enormously huge in my Reader. :) I thought it was fun. And I can totally relate -- handing a two-year old something and expecting them to put it away...yeah. I'm so glad you're all well again.

Seriously? 8AM church?? I thought that only happened at BYU when four wards were using one chapel! I am SO sorry! Kudos to you for making cinnamon rolls though! That definitely makes it feel like a happier thing.

Sorry for your family! My family got it too. Kes and I had a moment of "who does this person remind us of" when we were watching T.V. last night and had to get out our old yearbook to figure out a name. It was a funny walk down memory lane! How we have all changed since then!

I hate when I give stuff to Eli absent mindedly. I'm glad your feeling better.

BTW, we're having major blogger/greader/font issues too. Ugh.

sorry to hear that everyone has been sick. Glad you are all getting better. That is an adorable pic! Can't be mad at that face for too long. She is too cute.

Oh, Lydia. The red accent of smear on your face is just the right amount to highlight your eyes. Way to go. You have a bright future at the MAC counter.

Here's to feeling better and less usage of laundry detergent...GET WELL!
