I am proud to announce my house has never been cleaner oh wait never mind. I am ashamed to admit my house has never been ... oh well, you get the idea. BUT on the upside, I DID get the kids to and from school, did laundry ( don't worry there is still plenty left) , did dishes (but you know how dishes are, they multiply when you turn your back even for a second)  made cookies with Ben and EVEN put one of those orange plastic tablecloth Halloween-y things from the dollar store on the table ~ which I promptly melted onto said table when I put said cookies straight from the oven onto it. That melted tablecloth and a big spider sticker are this year's Halloween decorations.... but that is another story....

I got all kids homework and therapies done, listened to various reading levels as kids read to me, practiced multiplication tables and explained how even though the numerals get longer, the number gets smaller when there is a decimal in front of it.

BTW the look of utter confusion was priceless...I finally explained it like this: once you get under the zero, you enter bazarro land... and he got it. Ya gotta know how to talk to kids.... 

AND I even made dinner (OK so it was frozen TV dinners heated in the microwave, but hey, the munchkins got fed...). Got all kids bathed, teeth brushed, and read to.

And dear hubby o' mine has chosen today to go cold turkey off caffeine. He says I am his "sponsor". mmmm.... I don't remember signing up for that, but OK, if it will help him stay healthy. He has been drinking WAYYYY too many Red Bulls lately, so I really do support him in this. Especially, because he has been drinking all these said "energy drinks" so he could stay up to do the single dad thing, take care of his sick wife, try to keep up with the housework, and all while earning a living and keeping a roof over our heads. I think we are BOTH glad that part is ~ for the most part ~ over.

Besides, I also feel kinda guilty for getting after him all these months to go take a shower cause he smelled bad ... and it was me!!!!  Apparently the feeding tube going directly into my small intestine gives off a slightly "poopy" aroma. ~ who knew~...

I can do the sponsor thing.

SOooooo, that is why I might not write every day now. by the time I get all this stuff done, I am pretty pooped...no pun intended.... but it does remind me, I need to go take a shower....
