TGIF

Andy is in New Orleans for work...which means "S" and I are on our own. Yesterday evening went well - no problems with dinner, bath or quiet time before bed. "S" coughed a lot in his sleep last night - waking me up but he slept through all the coughing. I checked on him several times to make sure he was not choking & still breathing. I will be so glad when this congested cough is gone.

This morning...a whole other story. I dragged myself out of bed a little before 6am. Started the coffee pot & managed to eat something before getting into the shower at 6:15am. I was fully dressed & ready for work before "S" woke up. He woke up grunting & fussing as usual...except he wanted me to carry him into the kitchen...and before he even sat up in the bed, he told me he was hungry. I got him settled on the loveseat with some yogurt, while I fixed his hot cereal (that he said he wanted). Then, the whole morning exploded.

I should have never entered into an argument with a 3 year old. The result was crying (both of us) and "S" refluxing hot oatmeal back into the bowl. Hopefully tomorrow I will chuckle along with you...but I am still recovering.

On top of all of this, Andy's cell phone was going straight to voicemail. When I finally talked to him, he was sick over night with some kind of stomach funk!! Needless to say his first visit to the Big Easy has not been a pleasant one. He slept until noon (New Orleans time).

I apologized to "S" for being mad at him this morning. He told me he had been mad at me this morning too...that's why he threw up his hot cereal!!!!

Thank goodness it's Friday tomorrow....never been so TGIF!!!!!!!
