Because it the most important week of the year for the Canuck Clan, everything is falling apart at the seams.
Bode has been battling a cough and stuffy nose and Hadley woke up yesterday with a sore throat.
This is all in time for the pumpkin festivities this weekend and the Cavalia preview tonight. This equestrian counterpart to the Cirque du Soleil is THE must-attend-event of the fall.
And we may not be attending it.
We put the kids to bed early last night and hoped to let them sleep a bit later so they could stay out tonight. Fat Kitty had another plan when he woke Hadley up at 6 a.m., who then returned the favor to Bode.
Fat Kitty is in the doghouse.
Not exactly a good place for a cat to be.
I am battling killer allergies, exhaustion and what I hope will not be the start of a cold so I kept Bode home from preschool with me. Activities are limited when sick and unmotivated so I let him watch back-to-back episodes on TV. After three, I cut him off.
“Mommy, I want to watch more.”
“You’ve already watched too many.”
“I only watched one!”
“You watched THREE.” (And proceeded to list them off.)
“Dat’s not too many.”
“Oh really? So what is?”
“100.”
It’s going to be a long day.
