week in review: four(?)

Four?  Five?  Three?  I have no idea.  And I'm in the middle of a manic redecorating/dusting/crafting episode, because I looked at the calendar, really LOOKED at it, and realized it's legit February.  And I'm hosting two social events in our house in the next three weeks and shit needs getting DONE.  Which is why J's painting the closet project that's been unpainted for weeks, and also painting his office door that's been half painted for .... also weeks.  And I'm also supposed to be Shredding while Kid 1 and Kid 2 are napping, because I'd quite like to ditch my muffin top before all this socializing, and instead I'm blogging.  And Facebooking.  And Eviting.  And polling Instagram about a wreath (winter or Christmas?  J and I took it to the web.)  And I'm going to run out of nap time pretty soon, I do believe.  And also I need a Diet Coke, stat.

Mabel update: flu, sayonara.  She's not puking anymore, thank the good Lord, except when we give her amoxicillan for the ear infection she developed thanks to that dumb flu.  She pukes about half the time we squirt that pink goo down her hatch, once so violently it shot up over my head and splattered down onto the front of the dishwasher.  Yum.  So now, in addition to the pedi-approved amoxicillin, we're also putting garlic in her ears.  I know.  Ew?  She smells like a Buca di Beppo and I kind of want some chicken parmigiana now.  But many swear by this garlic ear thing (hi, Brittany and Elizabeth!) soooo....what's the harm?  She doesn't seem to mind it. And she did sleep better last night than she has since pre-flu, so.......

Anyway.  Our week.  Reviewed.
