Am I ever going to learn?

I heard much giggling and laughter. My thoughts, "Oh, they've found a fun game or something, thank goodness." Should have known it wasn't just my wonderful children playing perfectly. Tanner just walked by, and there is a big, green 4 written in marker on the back of his head.

Sicknesses, chapter 2

Man, they are sick AGAIN!! Last year about this time, we began the rounds of sickies that lasted until May. Kinda hoping for a better year this time, you know? Cade has some sort of viral bronchial thingy going on and the Ts have colds which they have generously shared with me. And it just figures that we are all sick on a weekend that Bryant isn't here. Hey, it could be worse. It could be another stomach virus. I think that would have taken me out. Seriously. However, the sheer crabbiness of Tristan and Tanner nearly did me in. Tristan screamed all morning. All freaking morning. Then Tanner screamed all afternoon. Then tonight, they both screamed. Cade, my wonderful, sweet child, didn't scream. He just tried to stay out of the way. Bless him. He's no dummy - being in the line of fire is dangerous. And while I'm on the subject of my kids...aren't they pretty? Yes I know boys are handsome, but I like the word pretty, k? Anyway, aren't they beautiful? And sweet? And funny? See, I'm trying to remember all of their good attributes so that after a day like we had today, I'm not tempted to Fed Ex them to their grandparents.

Last one, I promise...

Aaaaaaand this is what happens when all three boys sit within 2 feet of each other
"Get off me"
"Mommmmmyyyyyyy"
"Can we be done please?"
