I am sitting beside Brandy as she eats a jam sandwich for lunch. The table, her cup, her bib and her hands and face are a sticky berry mess! And her hair? Well I am the idiot that gave her a jam sandwich and didnt put her hair in a pony tail.

It is a quiet monday. The boys are finally back at school after a marathon of sickness. They are both still coughing but if I let them stay home until the cough was gone they would never go back. Brandy and I took the boys to school and came home to have what feels like our first "normal" day together. WE have been playing, reading, snuggling and cleaning. So far I have done the dishes, cleaned the Guinea Pig tank, folded laundry and cleaned Brandy's room. It feels good. This is what I was waiting for.
