shadesong and I have been feeling a bit ill today -- I think we've got a touch of some sort of stomach bug. So we were already drained on getting home and picking Elayna up from her first day of school (which she loved -- two of her after care boyfriends from last year are now in her class!).
'song andmousegrrl had a Girl Scout thingee to go to, so they were in a mad dash to get things done before heading out.
Alas, Elayna managed to get a splinter, which led to untold agita, as 'song and Mousie were trying to get ready. All this while 'song and I were still feeling sick.
They left when Elayna was eating dinner, and even though Elayna swears she never promised to call her grandma (something that's untrue, but I think she's misremembering, not lying), she was willing to do so with some persuasion. She called at 7, and I figured it would be a five minute call, given her reluctance.
Imagine my surprise when she talked for half an hour. Since she's so phone-shy, I wasn't about to try to get her off the phone, but I still needed to take care of getting her to eat her vitamin (we've switched to nighttime, so she can wash it down with desert), give her desert, have her go potty, take a bath, and brush her teeth. All by 8. Not a good group of things to cram into half an hour, especially when I wasn't feeling very chipper or energetic.
Amazingly, Elayna was on her best behavior. Only mild vitamin protesting, no protesting about the potty, bath, or toothbrush. She was in bed at 8 on the nose. She was a little bit clingy, but I managed to escape her room by five after.
I did some writing, but now I'm fucking exhausted.
So I'm off to bed. I owe so many of you comments, it's not even funny. I'll leave those comments tomorrow. I swear I'm not ignoring you. Really. I'm just wiped.
g'night.
