Up & at em

MIL's home today so I have some time this a.m. to post. V-day was "alright" at our place last night. E was horrible! We went to Steve & Rhonda's with the kids for a little party. E threw a fit when we had to leave and cried literally, all the way home. No matter how much we tried to explain the kids had to go to bed, she kept screaming that she wanted to play. I knew she just needed to get to bed and I was perfectly okay with letting her cry herself to sleep. MIL was waiting at the door dying to go in. I didn't think it appropriate to coddle her after being so rude and screaming at us. I don't think she liked that but we are the parents and she respected that. I did go in after E calmed down and explained that I knew she wanted to stay and play but again, the kids were in bed by now, and that maybe we could play with them another day.

This morning E wakes up and MIL gets up with her (thankfully). But I had to get out of bed b/c E kept yelling at Nana b/c E wanted Shreddies and we had none. I sent her to her room and then talked to her about it. She apologied to Nana then asked again for the Shreddies. She doesn't listen. Again I explained we had none and she would have to wait till we bought some at the store. All this comes from E being sick, I'm sure. Her tonsils are swollen. I have till 3 p.m. today to get my workout in, get the groceries and get ready for our overnighter. I refuse to waste the time at the dr.s office if they're gonna send me home with the old "liquids and plenty of rest" routine. Monday night I have an appt myself so I may bring her with me if she's still sick. I'm too selfish to give up this overnighter. We had to cut it short last time because of sickness. I'm not doing it this time. If they're dying, call us, otherwise we'll straighten it out tomorrow. Just to be safe, I think I'll leave the health cards at home and MIL can deal with it.

Well, I'm gonna run. Hopefully on Monday I'll be telling you what a wonderful time we had and not about any emergency room trips. :) TTFN!
