It was quiet around here today.

Even the neighbors and the traffic were quieter then normal.

It was cold out and the boys (Jacek was home again with a fever still) were content cuddling on the couch while I cleaned.

Now that I think of it they got along easily today which was really nice.

Not knowing if Darren and I will be able to enjoy our anniversary out is stressing me out a little.  If Jacek is still ill or if Aidan comes down with it, we’re probably not going to make it out.

The thought makes me sad and grumpy.

Of course I want the boys healthy but Mama needs a date with Daddy!

I’m also, of course, second guessing my keeping Jacek’s birthday party low key.

Maybe not second guessing as much as wanting to go B-I-G! and doing small instead.

I maybe spent too much time searching for cool Star Wars party ideas and am now thinking of how I can add some of them into his special day.

What I need to do is plan other people’s parties…because then I could go B-I-G on their dime.

25 days till race day. 25 days till race day.  25 days till race day.

Jacek still had a low grade fever when we put him to bed tonight.

He was acting and said he felt more like normal so I’m hopeful that the rest of the fever will resolve itself with some good rest.

He wants to go to school tomorrow but wasn’t terribly disappointed when I told him, probably not.

“I HAVE to go to school on Wednesday, because its a P.E. day!”

I’m sure tomorrow (if he does end up staying home) that there will be a lot of, “I’m going to school tomorrow, right?”

I sure will miss all the extra love I’ve been getting.

Back to normal we go I suppose.
