Top Ten Reasons...

You're Glad You're Not at our House This Weekend.

10. There are three Kleenex box's worth of tissues gathered around the premises...all used of course.
9. Is that a barking horse?  No, it's two small children and their mother hacking out their lungs.
8. We promise you would not sleep...maybe we'd allow you a few hours at night.
7. 99.5 and higher!
6. We're running out of water...it's all going to the humidifier
5. Daddy's drinking.  Captain Morgan is helping him from getting what we have or it's just for his own sanity.  We're not sure:)
4. It's leaf raking season and we have a big yard. You may be guilted into helping Daddy who also has a bum knee.
3. It kind of smells...an over abundance of poopy diapers is accompanying the children's colds.
2. The grown-ups are eating cake and orange sherbet for every meal just because whether emotionally or physically, it just makes us feel better.
1. As Svea told me yesterday afternoon. "I feel sick"! Yep, we are sick. Wow, am I glad this is not the weekend we had the baptism! Thank you Kok Sister's Weekend (and other reasons too). You can now be glad this is NOT the weekend for that:)

Side note.......man, do I hate hearing a toddler have a cough, but my heart literally cries for our two month old when I hear him do it:(  During the night he sleeps in the rock n play and during the day he won't let us put him down. Svea is sleeping in until 10:30 and then requesting naps. On a positive note, we love the snuggle time!
