A Blustery Day

I feel like Winnie the Pooh should come blowing across my front yard carrying a honey pot at any moment...

It is the type of day that makes me glad we didn't have anywhere we had to be...gray, cold, the feel of not-quite-snow, but that icky sleety rainy mess that sometimes happens in the fall is in the air.

BB is nursing head congestion, Tiny Princess is cutting new teeth and is cranky. Captain Chaos is sporting a drippy nose still, and is cranky at not being allowed to go outside and play with his tractor.

I've got a batch of applesauce in my crockpot, a load of sheets to put in the dryer, and at least 2 more loads of laundry to wash, dry, fold and put away.

BB is working from home today, which means that our normal routines are shot...the children are supposed to be napping, but Tiny Princess, while sleepy, is for some reason protesting the idea of sleeping...I shall have to make another bottle, with some Tylenol in it for her teeth, and see if she'll relax if we rock. Poor little baby girl...

Rocco is snoring on the rug, the cats are chasing a random house fly that somehow showed up today, but if they catch him, they won't actually kill him...they'll just look at him, and step on him with their front paws.

I'm not sure what we're having for dinner tonight, but I know that BB will not want to eat out, as our credit card debt has somehow crept up to a number that shocked both of us...and there's not really a way to pay it off as our savings is pretty much gone at the moment...with not a sign of coming back...

We're praying that market will climb back up, and that his stock in his company will be a nice happy number when he has shares he can sell in November...that money will pay off as much of the credit cards as is possible...

In the meantime, I'm trying to find some way to schedule some Mary Kay business into my calendar, because if I could do a measly show a week, I could start paying for groceries, freeing up that money to pay off something else.

How is it that it always seems that when you need it the most, your resources are depleted????

OY! Well, Tiny Princess needs her milk and some love, so I'll say toodles for now...
