8 things that happened yesterday
1. Sam pooed in his pants, and "it" fell down into the leg. The only way I knew it was there was because his pants thunked when I dropped them on the floor.
2. Matt got grounded for a week, probation for a month. (He better watch those grades!)
3. Poor Leah smelled exactly like Matt used to smell - mmmm, sulfur
4. Sam learned that if he wants Pellegrino, he has to ask for "Fire Water"
5. Sarah had a night terror - something about the house only being halfway clean and wanting to be a zoo keeper (I know I shouldn't laugh, she was seriously traumatized, but I can't help it)
6. Anna made shortbread in our cute new shortbread pans.
7. Sarah puked - made it to the toilet and didn't scream even once. Way to go, Sarah!!! (I'll have to do a post on the history of Sarah's puking.)
8. I fined each kid 3 pieces of candy - SCORE! (thank you for your wise parenting advice, Celia)


8 things to look forward to
1. getting some muscle strength back in my stomach and back
2. going to California for Christmas
3. summer vacation and, thus, no more homework
4. warm weather
5. planting my garden
6. Sam being really and truly potty trained
7. no debt
8. being able to wear a good bra again

6. steady, as in non-seasonal, income
7. lasting health for my family, especially through this winter with a new baby in the house

8 people I tag

Anyone who wants to play, but especially Anna, Matt, Sarah and Kate because my kids (and niece) are awesome and I love to hear what they have to say.
