I am taking a deep breath and looking at the upside of things.
- We don't think it's bedbugs, even though there are definitely a bunch of whatever they are.
- BIL has some suspicious looking areas in his PET scan, but the doctors aren't in agreement on whether they think it's the cancer spreading.
- The weather is warming up and he kids love the local playground and we have friends to go play at the playground with.
- The upstairs neighbors and next door neighbors who share the yards with us get along very well with my kids.
- We aren't rich but have enough money so I was able to order pizza for the kids so I didn't have to try juggling two overtired toddlers and cooking.
- The kids are helping clean, though it took more pushing nagging and reminding than I like to do.
- Laura is being cute and begging for seconds even though she's got her little wedge of pizza in her hand. I think she wants one for the other hand, too, maybe?
- I'm generally keeping busy, though it leaves me less blogging time.
And some of my woes are relatively minor:
- I need some fans for this rapidly heating up apartment.
- The carpet is filthy and needs to be shampooed.
- Laura has a stomach bug and has had ummm... aromatic diaper offerings. She had to have two baths today and smells AGAIN. And she hates baths. Loudly.
Tomorrow I am going to go to Michael's. I have a g.c. to use up, so I will get piping stuff so I can practice piping for when I need to pipe melted chocolate and whipped ganache. I may practice on store brand canned frosting and cool whip. If no one is eating it, it doesn't need to be edible.
