Bax: “OWWW!”

Me: “What happened?”

Bax, rubbing his behind: “I was carrying dees inst-er-ments and I slipped!”

Me: “You were carrying those instruments, and you slipped and fell on your bottom?”

Bax: “No, on the floor!” 

 

  

Amelia helped me make these by peeling them, picking the fresh thyme off its stems, and pouring the orange juice into the pan for the glaze. She really enjoyed them until the end of the meal, but it’s a dessert day so she finished them despite not enjoying them for the whole meal. 

      

  

The Heart

“Blood is made up of red cells, white cells, and platelets, all floating in the clear pale gold liquid called plasma that makes up a little more than half of our blood. Plasma is mostly water.”

She copied this out from a book on the heart that she checked out from the library on her last class trip there. The drawings are, from left to right, a platelet, a red blood cell, and a white blood cell. 

Amelia finally  went back to school after over a week out with pneumonia. Since she’s coughed herself awake a couple times a night, every night for more than a week, and the only person you really want when you’re sick is your mommy, my sleep has been pretty abysmal lately. Work’s also been stressful, so I have been struggling with stress insomnia too. 

This morning I woke up with a VERY sore throat, a VERY stuffy nose, and a VERY tired ache in my bones. Im going to borrow Baxter’s adorable finger-cross, pictured below, and fervently hope that this is just a passing dip in health that I can recover from quickly. No rest for the wicked, and no time for ailing when I have this much to do. Not sick!
