Doin' the Mommy thing

Well today has been a blur. I'm trying to clean the entire house while caring for my sick little Ben. All I can say is thank goodness for Elmo! But otherwise I'm carrying him or he's following me around with his arms in the air! Poor thing is all stuffed up, I had to hold him for the last hour of his nap. I did get some cleaning done, but my brother , who is due to arrive in two hours will just have to deal with dusty shelves in our guest room! At least the toilet and tub are clean! I'm hoping to sneak out tonight after Ben goes to sleep to get groceries. Tomorrow will be extra busy, if Ben is feeling better. Usually I only look forward to Tuesdays, because of the women's bible study, but now I like Thursdays, because I've just started a kickboxing class! I love it. Its one of those classes where you are just dripping with sweat when you are done.....I love that! ( Not exactly the most feminine thing to say, but hey, you all know me!)

Mike and Jeff leave on Saturday to go to Pittcon, a trade show that's in Fl this year. They are coming back the next Friday. Unfortunatly it won't be much fun. Poor them! Just dressing up everyday, smiling and talking to about a million people and then having a business meeting over dinner with clients every night. I haven't gotten the green light to go yet but I'm working on it. Maybe next year! I think it would truly be annoying for an exhausted Mike to come back into his hotel room with a relaxed, tanned and smiling wife...wait a minute, maybe it wouldn't be TOO annoying, eh? (I have to remember that angle).
