@Wildfire: Rofl nothing wrong with rambling I suppose. And my stomach's doing okay at the moment, but it was pretty bad early yesterday and a bit in the evening and the only pepto I could find in the fridge was like two years old. So now I've got a fresh bottle to last a while. :D

Goodness, you are keeping busy! Which I mean, to some extent is a good thing, but yike, lol. I need to vacuum, too, but today is my roommate's day off and I don't want to disturb her rare (for this time of year at least) chill time. I think it's our houseguest's turn to cook tonight. Probably chicken legs, which honestly I really dislike and would rather just go hungry than eat most times. XP But we've got 'em so we gotta eat 'em eventually.

We also really need to get some fresh vegetables; we've only had canned recently and I'm a little sick of freaking green beans and (for some reason we had several cans of) creamed corn, which I don't really like in the first place. Love corn, just not creamed corn. I think it's a texture thing.

And yeah, it's the back of my thumb. No clue what I did. At least it's not bleeding or anything. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Wildfire: I'm an early bird... well... my kids are. I was up at 5:20am today and about 5:30 yesterday.. <.< On average I'm up around 6am daily.
Which is why I go on here early with my cup of joe and chitchat.
I do get frustrated with video games. :\ I play a few, and rarely do nowadays.

I successfully got 7 kids under 2 sleeping at the same time today. I feel so good about that. One kid screamed bloody murder at naptime BUT I thought ahead and put her in my room instead of the nap room. >3< She eventually slept. :T

Now I'm going to game, take a bath, eat some sort of food and go to bed.

@Koah: Whoa... that's impressive, getting 7 kids to nap at the same time! Congrats!

Your morning routine of caffeine and chat in the morning is like mine... and I'm usually here around 7 or maybe 8... but you're also 2 hours behind us here on the east coast instead of the 3 I was thinking you were, aren't you? That would account for my thinking you were up more like 4am. Or maybe I just can't do math XD

I don't have much time or patience for video games these days and the ones I play are limited too, but it is a nice diversion sometimes :3

Hope you had a good night.

@Wildfire: I don't really like canned vegetables either... which is why mine often end up in the trash can while my roommate isn't looking. I take my vitamin gummies and I eat other stuff but canned green beans I just. Sometimes I can't stomach them. ^^;

Good morning.
... alllllll the caffeine!!
....yeah, guess who didn't sleep much or very well last night and then, once I had finally fallen back to sleep, woke up to a dog throwing up on her hand-made braided rug... yep - me. Did you guess that? Yeah... /headdesk/ I'm really hoping copious amounts of caffeine helps - and that it kicks in soon :3

So how are you guys doing?

@CooperationIsKey: My day was slow, as to be expected, but I tagged along with hubby as he dropped a couple things at the various trash centers (old paint - stuff like that) and we stopped for lunch on the way back. It was an afternoon of tv/movies and an early night. At least I actually slept reasonably well last night. Right now, it's coffee time :3

Your cosplay idea is adorable and it looks/sounds like it came together pretty quickly and pretty well! The badge is awesome. So you did this just because you ran across the shirt and wanted to do something with it or because you have something in mind like a convention?

@CooperationIsKey: Yeah - Comicon is at the Tampa Convention center in August (although it seems to be at the end of July this year) and it's pretty big! I've been a couple of times in the last few years - it's worth going to if you like conventions and can deal with the crowd (which is mostly on Saturday, of course). It's awesome that you saw the shirt and it just sparked all that creativity and excitement for you <3

Good Morning, I had a weekend out with a friend- Didn't do much, but had time out of the house so, yay.
However, I have a sore throat this morning and I gotta keep running the daycare until I can't. >3< [now that Everyone around me is no longer sick. ] CX We'll see if I stay sick or if it's just a tickle. <.<

@Koah: Yeah, I think you're only two hours behind me. I was thinking it was three for some reason, though.

Yes, the doggy throw up came out of my rug. It helped that we caught it quickly and pre-treated it, followed by a prompt washing.

Yay for getting out of the house, but "boooo" for not feeling great! Hopefully, it's just a quick and minor thing and that's the extent of whatever bug.

I am trying to prepare my youngest for his trek across the country. There is FAR too much to do, and think about in the week-ish before he's supposed to be there. I'm still not sure how that's going to work out... especially if he decides to try to take his truck up there with him (a truck that may or may not make the trip).

Today's my baby brother's birthday. He would have been 23. :( I miss him.
