Why Yesterday Was A Success

1. R is potty-trained! He is a pee-and-poop-on-the-potty champ! I even trusted him enough to take him to the zoo today in underwear without even bringing a change of clothes! (Not surprising, since I was the mother of newborns who never carried a diaper bag, who never had anything, just sometimes a crumpled-up size-too-small diaper in my glove compartment)
2. I got two stains out of clothing while doing laundry
3. I prepped supper before we went to the pool so that I could be quick when we arrived back home at 6:30. I've never done early meal-prepping/crockpot cooking/frozen casseroles before.
4. I bounced back from what felt like a slow death on Tuesday, to feeling fine yesterday.
5. I made two blueberry-cherry crisps (one for ME and one for my neighbors).
6. I showered.
7. I organized the kids clothes and folded lots of laundry

When Mom's Sick

1. The kids get to watch a lot of TV
2. I have to clean up her own vomit, which isn't fun
3. W becomes my caretaker, bringing me cough drops, tissues, clean towels, chapstick...
4. R doesn't help at all
5. The kids make dots all over their bodies with markers
6. Frozen pizza makes its second appearance of the week at suppertime
7. I sit in the bathtub for two hours at a time
8. I see how flat and tight my stomach gets from puking and wish my illness with coincide with a swimsuit outing for once.
9. Puddy lays right on top of me the whole time I am lying down.
10. My lifeless body becomes R's racetrack for his cars
11. R finally decides to successfully potty-train
