A Break

well kathryn got to go to her school christmas party today. it was fun to see her with the other kids enjoying herself. watching how they really let her do the crafts...like cutting on the line, glueing, and basically every step... she gets to do...i guess i'm too impatient but i always help her with whatever craft we are doing...so it was something to remember...

Kathryn couldn't eat the Christmas tree like everyone else, so luckily they had some pudding.

i liked their schedule on the wall. so now i have a copy! lol.

kathryn did pretty good, but towards the end, i could tell she was zoning out...and suddenly she got really tired. we went home and got ready to go to Aunt Jenni's house and on the way, she kept saying how she was tired, and she wanted to sleep... we get to Aunt Jenni's and she had a permanent frown glued on her face, she just seemed so sad and miserable...but i had given her medicine... i dunno. she must've started to fall asleep and Daniel jumped on the couch and woke her up, cuz she flipped, and started crying and fussing about being tired... poor baby. i held her and sang to her to calm her down and she was fine, but said she was hungry. i made them mac n cheese (over cooked to be super soft for kathryn) and once she ate, it was like a switch was flipped...she was hyper and jumping and playing again.

while i was at Jenni's we made some bows while the kids played. i'll have to take some pictures...

Mimi came by once we got back home and we played with the kids...they got all hyped up but it was cute. i spun daniel around and watched him stumble from being dizzy. it was just funny to see and he laughed too...

so i started working on the bows at my house with a different glue gun that i had been given and i never tried it out...i noticed after i plugged it in, it was leaking glue really bad... so i took the glue stick out and it still leaked glue! well, i just left it, without thinking and about 15 mins later as i was working on another bow it sparked with a loud POP and cut all the lights out... it freaked me out! i unplugged the POC glue gun and threw that away and flipped the switch on the breaker box and it seemed to be ok.

i hope tomorrow goes ok...i can see myself running thin on patience with kathryn's slurred words and fussiness. i am going to try to work out some activities for us to do, and hope i make it. (john gets the car since kathryn isn't going to school and he works 7:30 - 5...the whole day stuck at home with bored kids...these are the times that my brain shuts down and boredom gets worse)
