Project 366 -- Day 19

January 19th. (Photo actually taken on the 20th.)

And then there was that one day where I completely forgot to take a picture...

I knew it was bound to happen sometime, but I'd hoped I would have at least gotten out of January first. *sigh* Perhaps a look at my schedule for this week could explain a few things..

Monday: Hubby goes out of town. The Little Miss pukes all over the floor first thing in the morning and lays around the rest of the day. Sweet Pea is acts extra crabby all day.

Tuesday: (wee hours of the morning) Sweet Pea throws up in her bed and then all over the bathroom floor as Mommy rushes her to the toilet. Sweet Pea and Mommy go back to bed. Everyone seems to be stable all morning, so around noon, Mommy decides to take a risk and take the kids with her to the giant consignment sale (mentioned in Day 18) to drop off a few items for sale... with strict instructions for the children not to touch ANYTHING. All goes well... except for Mommy getting a little lost on the way home. Princess acts a little crabby and sick that evening, but manages to keep her food and drink down.

Wednesday: Mommy straightens up the house in preparation for Daddy's return. As soon as Daddy gets home, Mommy escapes back to the consignment sale and spends over 3 hrs shopping (on an empty stomach I might add... all the puking kind of destroyed my appetite for a few days).

Thursday: Like the crazy woman she is, Mommy decides to bring the girls with her to the sale and spend another 2-3 hours shopping. The girls are fortunately very well-behaved (other than LMP getting lost at one point, but she is found fairly quickly). Mommy gathers everyone up, drives home, feeds everyone lunch, puts all the girls to bed, then collapses into bed herself for a couple of hours. She wakes up feeling feverish and still exhausted. After puttering around for a short while and making sure that everyone gets dinner, Mommy leaves the girls with Daddy and heads back to bed.

Friday: Mommy realizes first thing in the morning that she forgot to take any pictures the previous day. Oops. Well, now you know why.

So, although it pains me to have missed a day, I am offering a replacement from the following day. Fortunately, I really liked this picture. So it's all good.
