thank God it's a school day

never made it to the play date.  natalie caught some sort of stomach bug and still had a fever friday morning.  and then, of course, i caught it over the weekend.  i hate evil evil germs.  i'm just recovering from it and SO very thankful that noah's preschool was open today.  

my parents are jewelers so it being valentine's weekend meant that they were too busy to be around.  since about the 12th or so, they would both leave in the morning and come home late, have dinner, wash up and sleep.  that's ok on school days, but valentine's day fell on a saturday this year, which meant the help i usually had over the weekend wasn't available.  still, i'm glad that they did so well these past few days because things haven't been so good for them in the current economic conditions.  

i feel like i've run a marathon that i didn't want to run in the first place.  towards the end there, last night, things got bad.  there was much whining then crying which culminated in me forcing him to lie in bed while he screamed that he would NOT CLOSE HIS EYES.  EVER! which was about 10:30pm.  i think noah was tired of being home with me too.  he got dressed and ready for school in record time, and greeted his teacher with a long big hug.  poor guy.  hope he has fun today.

now, with baby napping, i'm ready to catch up on some serious DVRed shows.

oh, and all is well with captain J.  things are better than he expected so far.  the skype however, is not so good.  couldn't get a good connection, so we've settled for a phone conversation everyday.

has it really only been a little over a month?
