@Wildfire: I'd travel there without complaint. well, I might whine a little, but It would be worth the trip. I think he'll send you that 'everything is fine' text at some point soon. <3 Just gotta let that dust settle with all the changes.
It dawned on me last night that he'll likely be the one going out to the watering holes and breaking the ice so the ranch animals have water. XD Makes me giggle a little that he's dealing with such an opposite weather than what he's used to.
I really hope my kids remain close too. It's hard to say, my daughter has these pre-teen moments of independence where her brother is 'uncool'.
as far as my baby being sick, every kid at this daycare shares germs. Drives me nuts, but there's nothing I can do. I've tried. One kid holds a toy, licks it, drops it, another kid grabs it. OR I'll hand them their own water bottles and I'll turn my back for 5 seconds to do something and the water bottle is in someone else's mouth. OTL so, they all have runny noses. a couple kids have a cough. That second week I took over, all of them got hit with the flu. o.e
My mom likes saying "this is easiest job she's ever done." and that I'm good at it and should keep doing childcare and I'm like "no. nuh-uh." I might be good with kids, but I don't enjoy it.
You totally deserve a lazy day. <3 Watch some tv, make a crock pot meal, just become a couch potato for a bit.
