Inside the Zoo

..because this can't REALLY be my house!

Mo was down with a stomach bug all day yesterday.  And by all day I mean the only thing she kept in her stomach was 1/2 of a bologna sandwich and some Jello water at 8:30 last night.  Then she spent the night coughing to the point that I thought she was going to start vomiting again.  Now I have to cancel her dentist appointment and she's not going to school.  I'm one of those Mom's.  The one who won't send her kid back to school hopped up on meds so that she can be out of my hair and make your child super sick and by extension your entire family including you.  You may send flowers and gifts of chocolate now.

So I was bracing for that when Daddy-O called and said "Hey, I'm going to stay a little while after hours and wrap some stuff up so that I can be home tomorrow."  Now normally I would be thrilled that Daddy was taking his day off - this week not so much.  Without getting into a lot of dramatic explanation, let me just say that one of us has slept on the couch for the last 2 nights and not just because we fell asleep watching TV.  So the storm could blow over today or it could get hairy.

Add to this that I'm catching a little something and have had about 3 hours of decent sleep (I know!  A full night for a mom right?) and I don't exactly have the brightest outlook for my day right now.

I'll think happy thoughts for you while it's still early enough for me to be thinking happy things.  =)  I hope Mo feels better today.
