Up and down the hallway last night at 3 am.
Of course, now that breastfeeding is done, I (choose to) sleep through most of the extracurricular activities the boys might dream up.
Last night it was the poops.
(I will refer to it as that because the word diarrhea makes Gorgeous George fake gag, shake his head and walk away from whatever conversation I decided turn down that road, even though the fact that I had to look up the correct spelling before I typed it makes me want to pepper it through this entire post).
Poor Lucas.
Then after the indignity of the poops, I had the gall to force him to stay home from school.
I had to bribe him with lego.com and the story of Ellie, the little girl in my fourth grade class who peed her pants.
The poor girl had that attached to her all through high school.
You can't take any chances with the poops.
Well, enough about diarrhea (sorry GG, but you know, you should have seen that one coming).
I just finished up a supercool assignment for Simple Scrapbooks' May/June issue. I had a tough time with it for some reason, usually, the pages they do flow, but this time was a struggle. It might have been all the holiday hoopla looming over me, I don't know, but it's done.
Here are a few things I made last month, when Christmas seemed to be forever away and when I was sure by this time I would be sitting back, packages wrapped, enjoying a hot toddy, instead of knee deep in wrapping paper ends, only 1/2 my shopping done and cleaning up vomit and diarrhea (I can't stop. It's a sickness.)
Advent calendar:
Another advent calendar (with the numbers on)
...and off...
Tomorrow night, we are taking the staff (and the hubbies) out for our
Life Simplified Christmas staff party.
Gorgeous George said he wasn't sure if he wanted to go because he heard the parties got pretty wild and that one time one of the owners took her top off.
He wishes.
You are sooooo funny!
I am the mom that sent her kid to school after feeding him 2 bowls of sour cherries. Fill your boots had new meaning at our house!
Good on you for keeping him home and label proofed.

Oh, we SOOOOOO enjoy diarrhea talk at our house. (not the actual "having" it, just the folly of it). We are so juvenile.
You are hysterical.
And your Christmas projects have me HEAVING with joy. They are IN-CRED-wait for it-ABLE.

You projects are AMAZING cheryl! and I think you made a wise choice keeping him home from school. I remember being sick and going to school once. It was Catholic school and I threw up in the middle of church. I think I will be forever remembered by my classmates.
