Sick and Tired....literally

So Quinlan brought home his first cold of the year and lovingly shared it with Patrick and I. Of course P & I got a worse version than Q and I'm still recovering. P is just stuffy, runny and irritable. He's headstrong, and his "it's my way or the highway" attitude mixed with being sick....not a nice combo let me tell you.

We did go for a walk this morning since it was in the mid 60's and breezy. Of course I hear from Q, "Go this way, go this way, we going to the beach!" That boys loves the beach but I can't take them both there by myself because they both go straight into the water. Swimming lessons are in their future soon.

I started P in gymnastics...REAL gymnastics...he loves it, but he isn't into listening and following directions, which is the REASON we are there. I actually asked to do private lessons and the instructor said he'll get it, it's hard right now but he'll get it. Lord knows what all the parents sitting in the glass room are thinking of P kicking and screaming the whole time because he can't do what he wants when he wants. Oh, well. I just remind myself that I don't know them, won't see them outside the gym and I really don't care what they think anyway. He's 19 months old, he'll get there (I keep telling myself that anyway)

Now I sit listening to P whine in his bed...he needs to sleep, I need sleep! They were both up at 6:30 making noises...Q was yelling, "Mommy, pancakes please. I get out of bed to eat. ROAR ROAR I go to school today" I have no idea what the roaring was for, but he is one crazy boy.

Ok...it's quiet. I'm going to sneak upstairs and lay down for a bit. I hope to get a decent nap and to bed early because we have a busy day tomorrow. Q has to be at school at 9am, P and I are going to the grocery store, drop the groceries off at home, make lunch, pick Q up by 11:30, eat lunch in the car (I don't like this idea but I have to tomorrow) be to P evaluation followup appointment by 1:00 (the school is 45 minutes from Q's preschool), after that I will come home and put both boys to bed then I have an appointment at 5pm....busy busy busy day
