Saturday I did crafts with my kids. I hate crafts. I hide any art supplies gifted to my kids. LOATH them. Inevitably my kids end up yelling, screaming, and fighting over whatever - even if there are 700 identical whatevers, they both want the same one. BUT, it was raining, and I've had this big old craft box, and I decided I was going to be a not sucky mom, and do some damn crafts with my kids.
We got new bedding. There may have been an incident that prompted the new bedding. It may or may not have involved a dog sneaking into the bedroom, climbing onto the bed, and peeing in the middle of it, then sneaking out of the bedroom, all while we were watching TV. There may have been an incident where I climbed into bed, and went, "wait, why is this wet?" and proceeded to pat different areas of the bed trying to figure out the wet spot on the sheet. I may have realized we only had one comforter for our new mattress, which was, luckily, covered in a waterproof mattress protector. I may, or may not have, then spent a very cold night cursing every living thing in my house. It might have caused me to realize the king sized comforter will never dry in our dryer, and will have to be hung, for 12hours, to dry.
It may have been that, weeks after this hypothetical very cold night, my husband let our pittie sleep in out bed, and I woke up with the worst sinuses I've had in a months. It's likely, I caught a cold the same night, and the dog was not responsible for the severe sinus and bronchial infection that followed (for which I am still on antibiotics.)

I thought it would be a good idea to wash all the bedding though, just in case. Since I had already experienced it taking over 1 full day to dry said bedding, I decided for my sanity, and the safety of all those that live in my house, we needed a second comforter. We needed two. So I could wash one, hang it to dry, and still have one to use.
I like the new bedding though, so I'm calling it a win.

Sunday we BBQ'd and had a couple of friends over. About half an hour in I had a random, surprise asthma attack that floored me, and left me outside, red face, eyes watering, choking with my inhaler while my husband, and the neighbor, asked if they should call someone. The little one stayed up until some time after 10pm, the bigger one went to bed around 1am. I crawled into bed around 2am. The neighbor went home around 3am? and at least one person slept on our couch. For which I call the whole thing a win.
Monday, after our overnight guest left, my husband decided he's building a pergola over our back deck, and took the kids to his mom's for dinner. I stayed home, already having to have used my inhaler twice for nothing I decided it would be safer if I stayed away from cats.
Tuesday we all got up late for school. I dropped the kids off an hour late. An hour after that I got a call that my little Helli had a fever of 102 and I had to go pick her up.
Wednesday Helli was feeling much better, but banned from school, so we hung out. So far Demon seems fine. I managed to run on Tuesday before I got the call about Helli. I managed to take Helli and walk all three dogs Weds. Today I had my chiropractic adjustment and then sat around like a lump eating crummy food. Tomorrow I shall run again. That's the plan anyway.
And when I say run, it should read, "run." I'm doing the couch to 5k app. Interval running training. I figure it was a good way to get back into things after four months of pneumonia. I was halfway through week 5 when I was struck with bronchitis again. So I sent myself back to week 3, and I'm going to try and work my way back. (I just do one a day, since I try and run 5 days a week, I work through their "weeks" pretty quickly) even then, I can still walk faster then I run. I'm working on it though.
My kids have been an hour, or more, late for school all week. I just can't bring myself to wake demon up when he sleeps in. I refuse to encourage him to get out of bed before 8am if I don't have to. They start their summer camp program the 1st. I'm just going to call it a win, and hope he continues to sleep in.
I'll leave you with Johnny, he greets all visitors on the way down to our basement.
