lfig, I poached an egg in the microwave this morning. I used a ramekin with about a third of a cup of water, and then I cracked the egg in very gently, making sure that the egg was covered by water I put a plate on top of it and microwaved it for around a minute. It was perfect on top of my oatmeal. For disclosure, I tried it yesterday and I ended up with a soft boiled egg, so I think that time and power of your micro is going to vary the cooking time ETA: I still think your H should make it for you, but this is a good alternative to the stovetop method if you're ever alone and want it. Also, I don't know if this is another weird combination or not, but sweet potato fries with 2 poached eggs and hollandaise sauce is an incredible brunch or even dinner!

M woke me up at 3 because she as scared. Then again at 6:30 to pee.
MH is at work again. He wants to drain the water heater this weekend so I’m trying to get all my laundry done today.

I feel like shit and am completely exhausted. The boys are fighting non stop and A is working. I’m sorry, any chance your mom can watch them while you get coffee and catch a breather? She's sick too. She was supposed to work but called in.

peachsmama I hope you can get some rest today so you start feeling better! I left work a little early yesterday, picked the kid up, came home and took some NyQuil and Advil cold and sinus. I slept from 4-8:15, ate dinner and watched some TV, then back to bed with another dose of both at 9:30. Slept til 8. I have a NyQuil hangover but feel a little better. Can't decide if I go to the baby shower or just lay low today.

We were supposed to have family game night but I cancelled that. And there's a bird trapped in our chimney... She has a beautiful call.

Why does one drain the water heater? We drained ours to remove build-up in the tank. Tell him to be careful, tgrimes! Our drain broke, and we ended up replacing the whole thing. It needed to happen anyway, but it was still a bummer.

C had his first day of swim lessons at the Y. I was nervous because he was basically kicked out last winter because he couldn't listen and was distracting the other kids. He had swim all summer at school so I was hopeful it would be better and I was right! He did so good and the teacher told us after that he should of be on the next level up and couldn't believe he was only four. That made me feel so good! Now he and Dh are playing in the water while I watch because of my shoulder.
I did order a waterproof sling for our trip so I can at least venture in with him. He's not thrilled that I can't swim with him so it will be a nice surprise.
Rest of the day is open. Hoping swim with ensure a nice nap later.

Ugh I hope you guys feel better soon! mwhip and peachsmama lfig dh makes amazing eggs Benedict. He made banana pancakes this morning, but maybe I’ll request eggs Benedict for dinner! If you ever want to come visit I’ll make him make them for us AND do all the parenting while we hang out on the couch!! Landon had a sleepover last night so we’re just hanging out until we go get him. Not sure what we’ll do today. Maybe the farmers market so I can get some walking in, or a movie.

Morning!
C is napping, B is alternately playing with trains and driving us crazy 😜, and my H is installing the new lights in our kitchen. I have it narrowed down to a couple paint colors and I’m waiting for a fabric sample to arrive to pick the final color. I was hoping it would arrive in the mail today but no such luck.

Live blog: first light is up and was pretty easy. The fan (barf) has proved more difficult. My H just said, “sayonara, bitch,” to it, if that’s any indication of how things are going.
And now I feel like we need to paint the ceiling...the more I look at it, the worse it looks.

Why does one drain the water heater? You’re supposed to do it once a year. It removes sediment that can cause it to work harder therefore cost more to use.

It needed to happen anyway, but it was still a bummer. He does it every year but the first year the pressure valve broke so we had to replace it. Like you said, it needed to be replaced anyways.

MH had to have his truck towed yesterday and we just got word that it was a simple fix and we owe $101. Whew. I was scared it was going to be a huge fix. We need to get rid of my car soon for something bigger and I really don't want 2 car payments. MH and I are both still driving the cars we had when we met.

It’s pretty good. A little lingering tickle and some achyness but mostly back to normal. I hope you’re feeling better soon and this morning goes quickly for you.

Morning!
Nothing much on the agenda today except housework. I’m trying to stay out of the stores on the weekends. When I’m bored or just ready to get out of the house, I usually find a way to spend money on things I don’t really need, so just trying to keep myself busy so I don’t.
I’m planning to purge and organize one or two areas. Maybe start laundry, too.
Hope all the sick moms and kids get better soon!
