This week has been one wild ride.
Todd has been out of town for work so the kiddos and I have been on our own. It wasn't pretty, people.
To start out the week...Cam and Zoey went to a late doctor appointment on Monday night because Z had an earache and C had walking pneumonia. Antibiotics and breathing treatments later, they are both doing fine.
Z's hamster died on Wednesday night. I've had numerous sad talks about death with numerous sad children. We held a graveside service in the backyard before school yesterday morning which made us almost late.
We've eaten at a fast food joint twice this week. (Normally, fast food is a once every 3 months or so treat.) We've eaten hamburgers three times and spaghetti twice. I've thrown away bags of produce because I forgot to use them. Apparently, my cooking skills go completely bonkers when I don't have another adult to serve.
The house is a complete wreck and we are all very tired.
However, each of the children is happy and healthy. They all received threesquare rhomboidal meals a day along with a few snacks. The dogs were fed every night. The fish, I'm not so sure. The dishes are almost all washed and I managed to create a flyer for local fall activities. So...all in all...the week wasn't a complete disaster.
But I'm sure ready to see Todd again.

P.S. Please convey my condolences to Zoey...
oh no, weeks like this are so hard. You handled it as I would. Everyone is alive! oh, except the poor hamster. I love this real post, because we all need to let it out, and we all need to read that others go through this as well. I hope your husband is home soon!
