The Twinkies

We’re sick here at Chez Twinkie. We were supposed to go to a Halloween/Samhaim party Sunday and I opted out a few days before because both kids had become snot factories. Although I had to admire their productivity the product was a little yucky and I doubted anyone else wanted to share in it.

Sunday morning I started to wonder if I had been a little overzealous in canceling our fun afternoon. Carmel apples! Leaf jumping! A chance to wear my medieval peasant costume! After multiple nights of lousy sleep both kids had slept well and woke up in pleasant moods. After multiple days of suppressed appetites both kids ate a substantial breakfast. (Here I will briefly digress and offer up yet another thank you to the patron saint of breast-feeding, inexplicably a man, for helping to ensure that even when the kids don’t want to eat solids that they are still getting nutrition.) The mucus output seemed to have slowed Even napping went well. Clearly, I was overzealous. I felt the guilt of a person who accepts an invitation, commits to bringing cookies – gluten-free pumpkin cookies – and then reneges.

Brian wanted to go to the mall to get his glasses fixed. OK. Everyone seemed fine. Snotty, but fine. Did you know the Christmas shopping season has begun? It was packed. Such fun. Oh, and F threw up all over herself.

Not so overzealous after all, I guess.
