Flying Barrel Of Monkeys

I’m so exhausted tonight. It’s been a long weekend. I had two parties yesterday – one was a birthday party for one of MonkeyBoy’s friends and the other was an annual holiday party with a group of my friends (some of whom were also at the birthday party so I got to spend extra time with them!). I was excited to be able to squeeze in enough time to make the birthday girl’s present.

Today MonkeyMan’s father came to visit for awhile and we went out for a family dinner. MonkeyBoy hardly ate anything and has been kind of off all day. He woke from midnight to 1AM and then woke for the day at 5:30 this morning. He’s also been sniffling some and I fear he caught a bug from a germy looking kid at a restaurant playground on Friday. I don’t get why parents bring their kids to playgrounds when they are sick, and especially don’t get parents who just leave their little kids alone in said playgrounds. This germy kid looked like he had a rash on his face and he even bit one of MonkeyBoy’s playmates. And he looked to be around two years old with no parent in sight. Sheesh!

I’ve been doing a lot of cooking and freezing of foods to make weekday dinners easier. I made a crockpot pasta meal right before we had to leave town last month so I froze it in two large plastic containers to eat later. Today I was messing in the freezer trying to get the ice machine to unclog and managed to knock both of the full, heavy containers off the top shelf. I caught one, but the second one landed square on my big toe. I yelped and jumped in so much pain that I ended up throwing the second container onto the ground, shattering it as well. So not only do I have a possible broken toe, I ruined one of our dinners for the week. I’m curious to find out what color my toe is in the morning. If it’s too bad, I guess I’ll get a doctor’s visit added to the coming week’s schedule.

Speaking of toes, I’m slightly addicted to footie pajamas for MonkeyBoy. I couldn’t resist buying him this pair over the weekend. How cute are those moose?
