the day of no water...

so my plan for today was a bust...I let CO have a sleepover and J was going for a visit, so my plan was to clean. My house has gotten crazy as the week was consumed with combating the stomach bug virus and doing everything in my power to avoid getting it, while dealing with both boys having it...
this morning I woke up to...an empty well. SERIOUSLY!
SO
no laundry was done, no shower was had, no kitchen was cleaned, no floors were washed

SIGH

I did take advantage of J being away and CO having a friend over by getting all my utilities dealt with. So that was progress

I did call for water delivery and he said he was backlogged and hoped he could help us today but it might not be until tomorrow

J came home from his family visit this evening a basket case again. He cried in my arms for 30 minutes and then fell asleep. I put him to bed. He woke up 10 minutes before bedtime so  I let him play a bit and now he is back in bed (hopefully he will sleep). The driver did pass along that he did have a short nap. Hopefully next week, it is a longer one.
The week after I canceled the visit as we will be away at the cottage.

The cottage
I have SO much to do to get ready for that one! We will be gone for almost two weeks. And then...I have no childcare for the next two weekends...yes I have some maybes but overall I am trying to not PANIC too much. I did dream this week that I left them in a hotel room alone while I went to work...how crazy is that!
I baked cookies this evening for the cottage (now even more dishes to wash)
Next week I hope to get some muffins, biscuits, curry stew, taco meat, corn dogs and chili made up for the freezer. I also have two full days of training next week. (I think I have childcare...but there are a couple of factors that will need to fall in place to make things definite)
But I am SO looking forward to our two weeks away! The pool is in working order...and it will just be lots of fun and kids! (I think the last head count for kids is 7 ages 13-2...I like that the kids are getting older as they can be of more help since I am the only adult...I already have the menu made up and I just have to do a few tweaks to the chore chart)

now...to quickly clean, shower, do laundry, pack for work...I have 1 hour...I shouldn't have sat down to blog...


prayer request just came thru from the church...seems a little girl named Devon needs your prayers...she is a local girl (to me) and she is in the hospital after being found at the bottom of a pool during a pool party today...pray for the whole family...and all the kids that were at the party...so scary...
