Ow

I woke up with a sinus infection or something (probably not a full blown infection but whatever you call "ow, my eyes feel like something is trying to slowly and methodically push it's way out of them").

The neti pot is my friend and I already feel a lot better. I also had a talk with the kids. I was being cranky (wonder why?) and then I stopped myself and realized it was my head, not them. So I told them I don't feel well and my head really hurts so I'm sorry if I'm cranky today but I'll try not to be. I asked them if they could try not fighting (which is what sparked my crankiness this morning).

It may not work with all kids and heck, it won't work long term on mine, but since then they've been little angels. Bridget spent half an hour helping Owen find his lost savings. Turned out we all forgot he "deposited" them in the Bank of Bridget (a cardboard box) last week. So he withdrew his savings and all was good in the world.

The kids have been into workbooks lately so maybe I'll ask them if they want to do some later. I do not have it in me to do anything physical but I can handle sitting at a table, helping them through math problems.
