I'm Sick (Whining)

Last night was Friday night and I had a wonderful fish fry night out with Larry's brothers and cousins. I woke up this morning, full of phlegm, a stuffed nose, sore throat and laryngitis! Great. And Larry is gone to Oberlin for a track meet today.

I managed to make Timmy and myself from toast with jelly for breakfast. Then, I set up both of his train sets for him to occupy himself. Sesame Street and Bob the Builder have been on all day.

I had a bologna sandwich for lunch and realized that Timmy must have a bug because twice today, his diapers was soaked, and it was not #1. The second time it happened, I hobbled upstairs to the tub to get him cleaned up. After the bath, he slept from 1:15 to 3:15 and I slept most of that time as well.

We came downstairs and I made a frozen pizza that the smell made me nauseous so neither of us ate it. I made Timmy noodles with butter which he ate and I still need to eat.

It is almost 7 and Larry should be home by 8-8:30, I cannot wait for him to come home and take care of me. All I want is some ginger ale and a little attention.

Tonight

It is Sunday night and I am waiting for Larry to come home from the University of
Findlay where he had to take 15 girls to compete in an indoor track meet. I am watching "Survivorman" and surfing the Internet while I wait.

I came across a quote from Tom Cruise where he is talking about V-Day and how his wife is an "extraordinary woman". You know what Tom? We are all "extraordinary women". We are women who raise children, keep houses clean, work, maintain friendships and family and on and on and on...........I don't know why he irritates me so much. Is it that my husband doesn't say that I am extraordinary? I am not sure. I know my husband is grateful for all that I am and all that I do for us, but "extraordinary" isn't really in his everyday vocabulary.

I wish Tom would crawl into one of his many homes and shut the heck up forever.

Valentine's Week

It's Valentine's Week at the Nosse house. The 17 valentines treats are made for Timmy's class party on Friday. I have delivered plates and napkins to the daycare for that party. I just have to wrap small gifts for teachers.

We had a mini-Valentine's day party with the four Nosse children on Saturday that included some gifts, pink milk and pizza. We videotaped the kids singing and we played with them. It was a very fun night.

This Friday we have no plans but on Saturday, we're paying pack Amy by babysitting the Skolny3 over night while they go to Columbus for a Valentine's weekend away.

I must admit, I do like this time of year.
