Thanks everyone! I'm glad I'm not the lone ranger! We've had a great weekend, and I know the key is keeping ds busy. I just wish I had the energy he has. He's tireless, and 5 minutes of downtime is like torture for him. The three of us (dh, ds6, and I) had a good mix of alone time, family time, and one-on-one time this weekend. It was great, and I was even running a fever all day yesterday. It was worth it to have time to myself!
Tomorrow we are starting out our day with a trip to the good mall to see the real Santa. We always have better days when we start out with an outing. Another parent on this site recommended that, and it works so well. I'm just not a morning person, and I like to take my time getting busy. Doesn't fly around here. Coffee and a book or email time with a screaming kid in the background vs. coffee on the go with a happy child. At least for tomorrow, I'm opting for happy child! Crying and screaming are sending me over the edge. Maybe I'll start out with an outing but spice up my coffee with some happy creamer. I think they call that Bailey's. ; )
Thanks for the support. You guys are awesome!
