How terrible is it that a part of me kind of likes when one of the kids gets sick?
It's sad and pathetic and I feel terrible for how they must be feeling, but there is a part that relishes the slow pace of the day, the cuddles, the stories, the naps, the movies, and the not getting off the couch or out of pajamas all day. Mostly it's the cuddles that I love. And the quiet.
Iris has been running a fever all day today and part of yesterday, and though she has a stomach bug, it has so far not been a messy sort of bug. It's tolerable. She's been in a good mood and we kicked the boys out of the house for a bit so Timm (the hypochondriac) and the baby wouldn't catch anything. We painted our nails and read a few books and watched a movie and folded some laundry. So, yeah, being sick sucks, but it's a great reminder to put the agenda on the back burner and just relax for a while.
Of course, this is all very easy for me to say. I'm not the one with the stomach bug! And the hand sanitizer has been a-flowin.
Tomorrow is payday and I'm really nervous/anxious/excited/optimistic/convinced we are totally going to screw up our Dave Ramsey Lifestyle*.
*Side-note, I need a shorter way to reference this Dave Ramsey stuff. Ramstyle? Ramget (Ramsey + budget)? DRL? I'm liking Ramstyle...
Anyway, tomorrow is also our second class (last week's was canceled for the snow). I'm sure I'll have more to say on the topic later.
I know there was something else I was going to mention. Of course I can't remember it now. I don't know if other people who have a random blog and write about random stuff do this, but I think about stuff or stuff will happen to me during the day and I start writing my blog in my head. I come up with sentences and phrases while I'm doing the dishes or folding the laundry. More often than not I will forget what I had previously come up with by the time I actually get a chance to write it down. Just one more reason I need a personal assistant.
