La dee dah

I'm back at work after a small hiatus. Is that even the correct word? Well anyway, Seth seems to feel much better this morning so I'm very glad about that. Yesterday he coughed so hard and so much he couldn't take a nap, couldn't keep his lunch down, and was basically miserable. Hopefully we're through the worst of the sickness now and he'll be ship-shape in a few days.
I don't know why I put the picture of the gnome here, I just thought he was cute. And I like having pictures to accompany my ramblings.
I'm so ashamed of myself. I was home for 4 days and my house is still messy. I just...I mean, I cleaned, I did! I washed clothes, and dishes and picked up and blah blah blah..but its still cluttered!!! And the floor needs to be swept and mopped! I guess that shows you what bad shape it was in before. :( Well, I'm off tomorrow too (how lucky is that?) so maybe I can finish what I half-heartedly started.
Hmm...what else? Oh as long as I'm complaining (I'm almost through, I promise) I'm tired. I'm having major trouble sleeping again. I think its cause the rambling thoughts are back. Before I started my Lexapro, I had these running thoughts in my head at night that I could not turn off. You know, just worries. After I started the meds, I started sleeping better. Now...its back to square 1. I'm thinking that next week I'm going to march back to the dr. and see if they'll up my dosage of Lexapro and maybe give me another refill of sleeping pills. Those worked well and after I ran out of them, I was able to sleep pretty well on my own. So, that's my plan.
Now...I'll try to be less depressing. On an up note, I had choir practice Sunday night and enjoyed it thoroughly. I've nailed the alto "Glorias" in "Hark the Herald"! Remember I was having trouble with those? Another positive is that I've spent some good quality time with my kiddos these past few days. They are just so darn cute!
I saw a preview for "The Office" last night. The Scranton branch is going to be closed down? What? There's some kind of interesting twist involved, for sure.
Oh, something so cute I must share it. Seth tried to write, "I love you Nana" yesterday by sounding out the words, and I am SO proud of him, may I say. This is how he spelled it:

"I lfv yoo Nana."

It was quite possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen! And the fact that he is writing now, by himself, makes me want to cry! Its so cute! But it also means he is really and truly growing up..I'm going to save that piece of paper, b/c it reminds me of why I am a mother and why life is so worth living and why God put me here. He knew I would "lfv" being a mother.
