Hurricane Aubrey

I think there should be a Hurricane Aubrey.  I think it would probably be one of the most delightful, yet devastating, storms yet.  Maybe I'm biased, but I felt like a hurricane today, and to be honest, I didn't really accomplish that much.  There was no destruction, no upheaval, and (thankfully) no death.  I think I probably would suck as a hurricane.  Haha, I'm making myself laugh.  I must be exhausted.

It's hard to do much when you have a "sick" kid at home who is obviously not sick enough to act sick, but sick enough to stay home, thus commanding your attention when you have other things that are due...like papers.  I know, it's like talking to a wall.  My own eyes are glazing over just thinking about it.

Around noon, B's stepmom called and said she was finished with her appointment, and did I want her to take B to the doctor for his follow-up so I could work on my mountain of homework?  Yes, please.  She even volunteered to keep him overnight so I could get it all done.  It's like Christmas...  She called after the appointment to say the doctor had ordered yet another medication, and we scheduled an appointment for the allergist for Tuesday morning.  Until then, B is supposed to remain a couch potato.

My weekend is going to be SUPER fun.  Thankfully, I've been doing tons of squats, so I'm fairly confident that I'll be able to hold myself in the fetal position all weekend without getting a cramp.

N got home not long after she called, and was both thrilled and disappointed to find that B was away for the evening.  Well, he was mostly thrilled and only slightly disappointed because he didn't have anyone to play video games with.  Smart boy, that N...he started our conversation off by telling me he got his iPod confiscated by his teacher.  He THEN proceeded to tell me about how he thought it was ridiculous that she could do that..."She's not my mom or anything."  No, darlin', she sure isn't, but she's the boss at school, and I'm on her side.

He called me a traitor, and it took all my self control to not laugh at him. 

We both worked on homework: he powered through a Scholastic News, and I powered through a one page paper.  We took a break for dinner, and then he showered while I powered through 5 discussion boards, 4 assignments, and 3 responses to other discussion boards.

He went to bed.  I took a bubble bath. 

Can you tell I'm pretty much worded out for the evening?

Now I have my Kindle, some peppermint tea, and my eyelids are getting very heavy behind my glasses.  I took out my contacts at 5:00 when my eyes started getting all cross-ish.

Bring on Friday!  Oh, wait...don't.  I have to keep B still.

Ugh.
