Last night was all about the drama of Mom's decline: http://heathrow.livejournal.com/323437.html
This morning has been full of kneecapping. Katie's been running a fever from this cold off and on for a couple of days. Tylenol takes it down, so we aren't insanely worried. However, she wanted my attention this morning. She yakked on me while nursing. She pulled off, looked at me, then went kablooeey. Luckily, Tom hadn't left the house yet, so he grabbed a few towels while I took a moment to feel good and sorry for myself.
About 45 minutes ago, Amelia decided to do crafts by herself. She found a full bottle of Elmer's Glue and unscrewed the top to the bottle. She dumped it all over a reindeer craft she made yesterday (triangle head, pompom nose, cut outs of her hands for antlers). I was grumpy as I mopped up an entire bottle of glue from the kitchen table, which is often overrun with mail, packages, etc. Luckily, the only injuries were the reindeer, a couple of sheets of mailing labels, and my recent printout of my mailing address spreadsheet (I hadn't put the updates into Google Spreadsheets yet).
Ah, well. I think we need to go to the park ASAP before I manage to set fire to the house while doing laundry.
EDIT: We're too close to nap time with an overwrought kiddo. If we were to go now, it would become an epic battle to get her to leave. I think we'll both be better equipped for it this afternoon.
