Jean in Newcastle Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 I was up in the night with a 13 year old with a tummy ache. I wonder how she'll feel once she gets up for the day? And why is it that no matter when I get to sleep I still wake up at the same time and can't sleep later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryJen Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Well, my house is quiet. The younger boys tried to stay up all night. The girls went to bed early as did Dh and I. Our stove and new microwave arrived yesterday, not without some hiccups. I thought we had agreed to have it installed, but turns out we didn't. So Dh did that. They look lovely and as soon as the dishwasher finishes I will clean up the kitchen. That is probably it for the day. We may head out later to watch the football games (sadly, they are on espn).

mom31257 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Please pray for my family. My BIL committed suicide last night. He had dealt with depression, anxiety, and OCD for many years and despite treatment of many kinds couldn't see his way past doing this. Losing mother this year was hard enough, but this is beyond tragic. He was my younger sister's husband and the father of my special needs nephew who requires 24 hour care.

JustEm Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Plumbing job is scheduled to start on Tuesday, which mean we'll likely just pack up and stay at my parents' house Tuesday and Wednesday night. Youngest has been miserable most of the day with a bad cough and rolling fever. So dh and I have been taking turn cuddling him. I'm feeling fine now. I don't think I'm getting sick, just needed a little more rest this morning. The kids and I build Legos all afternoon! They did all the work, I just made sure they didn't put things in the wrong spot on the rare occasion that they started to. My wonderful dh did ALL the laundry!!! This was at least 2 weeks worth of laundry! Once kids are in bed dh and I are watching The Hobbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Ds is making dinner - lamb gyros and salad with homemade tzatziki sauce. Dd is helping me clean out the closet under the stairs - a huge job. I'm so tired already but need to do some more before I stop otherwise the cat won't be able to get fod and the dog won't be able to get to his crate.
