1. We are all sick. C got nebulizers all day – including at his own bday party. I hope we didn’t contaminate any guests but at least it was outside. I could not have rescheduled (had reserved park, had reserved balloon performer, plus the food!).
2. I was supposed to have a (treasured, very-planned-in-advance) me day today. Guess what? Our nanny is sick too – understandably. I am not going to beg her to come in when I don’t have work. (I did however ask if she could come on Saturday as an exchange. And since Josh is on call and the kids were invited to 2 different birthday parties, that will be helpful. But still – agh.
3. C’s party went really well and the weather was perfect. If I didn’t have laryngitis and he wasn’t wheezing, I would have said it couldn’t be better. Now I have to plan A’s — her birthday is in 6 weeks!
4. I have been doing well at Unplugged30 BUT I cheated this morning. Purely out of frustration and spite (to myself?) I got the text from our nanny and then looked at 2 blogs in bed — even though I knew it was against my “rules”. On the upside, I have no Facebook, feedly, or insta (or really any social media) on my phone so it was a very short session. In general, I have still been very compliant and I am pretty proud of my efforts & progress so far!
5. Things I was going to do today but now I won’t:
taxes
going through clothes & things (Kon-Mari-ing: a never ending process in my opinion but still one worth doing)
a run with my old Best Running Friend (this one makes me sad!! but I’m feeling too crappy to run anyway)
an annoying medical procedure (imaging because my IUD is apparently not in the right position – agh! TMI but I really don’t care)
Pix from the party!
(By the way, he isn’t actually 2 yet – actual bday is next weekend! But Josh is on call.)

Happy [almost] Birthday, C! I hope everyone feels better soon.
I hope all of you are better soon! The birthday party sounds like fun, I certainly hope C is better by his birthday!
Missing out on ‘me’ time really does stink– I had a little time to myself last weekend, and was hoping for a longer break this weekend, but it’s snowing so I will likely be staying put.
sorry you guys are sick. glad the party went ok,and hopefully you will all be better by his actual birthday!
that sucks about your "me day". I can imagine how much you were looking forward to some alone time and getting things done!
Happy birthday C!
But I have to say…that is not a toy explosion. That looks like my living room *after* it has been cleaned!
I am glad that you all had fun in this birthday party. Pretty soon I am going to host a similar cute party for my daughter at one of iconic party venues nearby. I have decided to book this venue after a long search!
Wish you happy birthday and have to celebrate awesome day even changing the kind of food given to children in school on daily basis helps in children feeding well on the different kind of food served daily hence avoiding having to throw a lot of food taken back by children as left over.
