Spring Break--woohoo!

Mabes is on spring break this week. I had intended to do lots of fun things. Instead, on Tuesday, I had to take Annabelle to the doctor for a double ear infection (fourth this year, if you're keeping track). Later that afternoon, I found out that our main credit card number had been stolen and someone had racked up over $1100 in charges at various online beauty retailers. My cold kept getting worse, Annabelle has been super clingy, and I have serious back pain from holding her so much. My voice has been coming and going, and when I do have a voice, any talking is interrupted by long, uncontrollable coughing fits. Mabes helps this by saying, "I can't understand you, Mommy, you need to stop coughing." I haven't had a Diet Coke in days (that alone testifies to how I feel). Annabelle has only been taking 1 short nap a day and is so tired by 7 pm that she can't stand up. I finally went to the doctor this morning (Mabes was climbing the walls. Literally. I never got that phrase, but now I do. Apparently, kids attempt to climb walls when they're bored. I still don't understand why.), and got two antibiotics for my eyes/sinuses/throat/lungs. And the pickle on the crap sandwich that is my week? I finally decided on making simple, easy Easter dresses for the girls, but now I can't work on them because if I lean forward at all, my sinuses and right eye feel like they'll explode.

But then, just as I was about to get Annabelle ready for bed, Mabes yelled, "It's the delivery man!" I'm quickly trying to figure out what outstanding Amazon purchases I have and can't think of any. And then Dave brings in this:


I don't know if it's the week or my love of food or my awesome sisters or all three, but I almost cried.

I realize the cheesecake is still in the plastic here. Once the cheesecake is unwrapped, all bets are off.
No time for pictures.

Week: You've totally been redeemed.
