Weekly Round-up for September 23

9/23/2019

0 Comments

Everyone realizes that there is only one week left in September. Right?
Tamara hangs her head and moans, "Where did the days go?!?!?"

I was under the weather the entire week and still have a cough to show for it. My first antibiotics attempt was a train wreck. I think if a medicine lists insomnia as a side effect, I should just opt for a different one. Four nights without sleep.... Doing much better on the new meds....

Given I was sick (I mean sick to the point that my husband had to get the kids), what did me do....not a whole heck of a lot.... Here's the very short list:

Sea foam play time
Science in the garden -- this is really find the caterpillars on our milkweed plants
Finished edits for The Tea Party which goes live this coming Wednesday
Clicked the button to release the print version of The Tea Party (because Amazon says it needs up to 72 hours...)
Kids had more play dates than typical for a school week
Girls went to a friend's birthday party and had a great time (Tamara slept)
Still managed a meal every night because everyone needs to eat, even a sick Mommy

Sure, it looks like a long list, but trust me when I say that I did mostly laundry and dinner without much else. Some weeks, that's the best you can do.

Sea Foam Play Time

I want to give a shout of thanks to J House Vlogs for all their kid friendly videos. TM watched a few hours worth of them on Thursday. In one such video, they made sea foam from soap, water, and corn starch. Even sick, I had to try it with TM (she always wants to make something).

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp dish soap
2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp corn starch

Directions:
Mix on high in a stand mixer

TM loved it. The sea foam did take awhile to get beat into a sizable amount. TM got bored during that period. It's always faster in the movies, kids! Picking out toys to go into the sea foam filled that time.

Also because of J House Vlogs, TM has learned what April Fool's Day is and how to prank people. This kid...shakes head some more...decided to prank EG by creating a sea foam sandwich.

I don't have a picture of it, but I distinctly heard a prepared EG say, "Wow, sissy, you got me big time." TM now has pranking goals. Thanks J House Vlogs...

That's it for this weekly round-up. Catch y'all next week. Cross your fingers, pray, or send healthy vibes my way. Thank you.
