Spring Broke <-- b/c it's past tense
As many times as I say I'm going to update this thing more regularly, you'd think I'd actually do it. I've got this mindset that no one cares what happens in my life, so I can't ever think of anything interesting to write.
But I'm here now!
Lauren is watching Bananas in Pajamas, and I hate it. I normally don't get annoyed by kids' shows, but this one is terrible.
Lauren is sick today. She's not terribly sick, but she did vomit in her bed and not tell me until this morning when I woke Evan up for school. Poor girl sleeping next to her puke all night... When I asked her why she didn't tell me, all she said was "I didn't want to." Okay? She's acting normally except that she's puked a couple of times and has diarrhea. I just learned how to spell diarrhea correctly today. Go me!
Andrew and I had a more severe stomach virus at the beginning of last week. It was one of the worst nights of my life, and I'm not over-exaggerating. I was in the bathroom every 30 minutes or less from about 11:30pm to 8:00am-ish. I was so tired. Thankfully, Evan was out of school for Spring Break, so I didn't have to get him to school. The kids were AMAZING that day. They entertained themselves while I laid in bed miserable. I cried b/c I wanted to do fun things with them all week for Spring Break, and instead I was in bed. Andrew was sweet and came home to feed the kids and take care of me for a bit. Then he got sick a couple of days later, and I took care of him.
The moments where we take care of each other like that make me love him more. He's so sweet.
I had the kids make a list of fun things to do over Spring Break. I could've sent them to Grandma's, but I decided to keep them here, and Evan was disappointed, so I wanted to make sure they had a good time here. When I asked them what they wanted to do, they said things like, "Play in the front yard!" or "ride our bikes!" I was expecting something a little more grand, but I was totally okay with those suggestions! :) We went to the children's museum one day and the Laredo Kite Festival another day. We went to the park with friends. They rode their bikes to our neighborhood park. We played Wii together. We played in the front yard. They had friends over. And then on Friday morning, we left to go to Andrew's parents' house for the weekend. It was SUPER crowded and crazy, but I know the kids loved every minute they were with their cousins. My nephew Austin received his baby blessing on Sunday. He's ADORABLE!
Today we're back home and back to normal life. Evan's in school. Lauren keeps asking me when he's coming home. I do think she likes having full control of the TV again, though.
I got spoiled last week having Andrew around so much, and now I miss him.
Well, my laptop is telling me that my battery will die soon, and I believe it. I must end for now.
