Trapped!

Today has not been fun...Jason's in Minneapolis and both Logan and Zach had fevers last night so I had to keep them home from school. Occasionally, when he's home and working from his office, Jason will have one of those days where he just can't focus on work...he keeps coming out to visit, or play with the kids, or find some other way to goof off. Well, let's just say that today I was having a hard time focusing on my job. I kept the kids fed, and hydrated, and warm, and even gave them baths to help break up the goop in their sinuses, but it was not a stellar day in terms of me keeping them stimulated with activities (OK, what I'm really trying to say is that we had a TV-free-for-all today. So much that the kids actually got bored and asked me to turn the tv off!) The good news is that they eventually got so tired of trying to get me to play with them that they actually played on their own! Without too much sibling conflict! :-)

Anyway, they both seem to be doing much better and I think they'll be back to school tomorrow. And Max appears to be fine - probably protected by the antibodies in my milk.

School, by the way, is going great for Zach. After two days of very minor crying last week, he went through three or four days where he would simply say to me "I'm not going to school" in the mornings as we were getting ready, but by the time we got to class he was fine and there was no visible separation anxiety. And yesterday when we went in he didn't even say that. So I think we're out of the woods.

In other news...some of you may know that I've decided it's time to re-start my consulting business, Biolexica. I'm putting out feelers to my old clients right now and hoping to start getting some assignments soon. Cross your fingers for me!
