I Promise, I Have an Excuse (or 3 or 4)...

I am falling behind in my posts. But when I post a lot, I fall behind in my life. There is apparently no room for me to focus on any one thing in my life at any given time. So, please forgive me... I promise something new soon. But in the meantime, here is my list of excuses.

A Day in the Life (yesterday):

1. Went to the store to buy a flower for the Big One's teacher (for teacher appreciation).
2. Dropped Big One and the flower off at school.
3. Realized that Middlest One was sick (cough, gunk, fever) and called in to her school.
4. Dosed Middlest One with meds to help her feel better.
5. Took Littlest Beauties to Michael's to get beads for the Big One's African Market Project.
6. Took them to the grocery store to get veggies for dinner.
7. Fed them lunch. Ate a yogurt.
8. Emailed Big One's teacher to ask what she wanted for lunch on Tuesday (also for teacher appreciation).
9. When Big One got home, drove to visit the 'rents for the afternoon.
10. Went for a walk and had a tea party with the 'rents. Ate too many cookies and scones.
11. Drove home.
12. Cleaned up puke from kid, clothes, shoes, loveys, garage floor and front walk (poor Middlest Beauty).
13. Dosed Middlest Beauty again.
14. Cooked dinner (and had a drink).
15. Ate dinner and tried to convince Shorty that Chicken and Dumplings was worthy of her discerning palate. More or less failed at that last.
16. Went online and made reservations for a CRUISE to Alaska for next year... to celebrate Chris and my 10th anniversary which is actually THIS year. Woo-hoo!
17. Kissed the family and went out to babysitting co-op meeting (really an excuse to drink margaritas).
18. Came home and watched "Heroes" on TiVo.
19. Finished cleaning up. Visited Parenting Web Board.
20. Checked on Beauties.
21. Went to bed.
