and out the door she goes....

So much for the stuff I had to get done today. I am home now, sitting here with me feetsies up, lulled by the hum of Jonathan's space heater, as he sits on the couch under a sleeping bag, watching stuff on his tablet. He has a fever of 101, this sickness that Charlotte Claire, then Camille, then Sonja and I had...it's Jon's turn. I could just fall asleep to the hum of this heater. Plus, it's cold outside, and sort of cozy in here. The kids are all home from school now, the princesses are playing in their room. Others are doing homework, and it's quiet. Mirielle, Kathryn, and Suze went on a little trip up to Canada for a few days.

Anyway, today I went out and about with Emily. She had to buy the food for a church meal for this Sunday, so I helped her plan and shop. We went to three stores to get the best prices on everything, and were fairly quick, I decided not to dawdle too much today, as I wanted to get home...I think I am done buying Easter candy now. I didn't get much this year, just some Cadbury chocolate eggs, Reese's miniature eggs, Marshmallow Peeps, and chocolate bunnies. Oh, and a few bags of Snicker and Milky Way miniatures. And, some Valentine's Day M&Ms that are in my closet.

Spending time with Emily is not too shabby. We get along like peas and carrots. I am so thankful that I don't work! Being able to take off at a moment's notice is amazing, I do not take it for granted. I mean, most mornings, I get the little girls off to school, and Mirielle gets home from her night shift at the hospital. She makes some dinner, and sits down and talks to me as I have my morning coffee. It's so nice! This fine day, I was nice and didn't give Jonathan any work to do while I was gone, because he is sick. (He stayed home with Joseph.)

We stopped for coffee today, then Emily bought this amazing dark chocolate bar with cinnamon pecans in it....we ate that on the way home. Sinfully good, but hopefully not too terribly fattening. It was small...we shared it...oh, never mind. It was good.

We have this dollar store around here...it sells name brand stuff for...a dollar. Today I bought 10 count boxes of fruit snacks, 6 packs of yogurt/protein granola bars, and Ghiardelli hot cocoa mix.

Today I also bought the peanut butter we were out of, a few bags of almonds which are a staple for me, apples, carrots, and more coffee.

I brought Jon home some pudding, since he is sick.

I also bought him a little car that makes noise and lights up, and he respectfully told me that it is nice, and was nice of me, but...he thinks he is too old for it, and will give it to one of his cousins. Wah. But he was so sweet about it.

Ah well, time to move it again. I have to figure out dinner, and work out, and list a million things on ebay....oh, but I just want to take a little nappy here in my comfy chair....
