Year 3, Day 87: And Memorial Day Weekend is Off to A Fine Start

Though I was up again for an hour in the middle of the night, I actually slept until 9AM (!) and felt pretty good about it. Ruby and I went downstairs as usual but Emily had apparently come down with whatever I had, rendering useless the argument we ALWAYS have following an 'incident' as to whether or not it was the result of a virus or food poisoning. As she lay in bed all day I realized my recuperation period was over. The kids and I set out for the family gym and then back home for lunch. When we returned and got Magnolia down it was time for errands and then Ruby had a birthday party in Natick. We got back, had some kind of dinner, baths and bed. All in all, pretty uneventful for missing an entire parent.

Aside from my nut frenzy in the afternoon, I managed to skip all the day's temptations including pizza, ice cream and cake at the birthday party, and then any kind of dessert or liquor at home.
