On Saturday I went to hot pilates and yoga…and I couldn’t make it through yoga. I thought I was either going to throw up, pass out, or both. So I ended up leaving early and spent the rest of the day virtually immobile in bed. Poor Abe, who has been on the verge of a meltdown, had to take care of the kids all day–with the exception of his morning run, which he reported was amazing.
I basically did nothing all day. Every time Abe tried to join me in bed a kid needed help, a neighbor would ring the bell, or he would get a call that required him to get up and move around. It was very sad.
Lydia also was immobile the whole day, but she was on the couch. She slept on and off all day, had a fever, and had a sore throat. We felt so sorry for her and let her watch as much Harry Potter and Percy Jackson and The Olympians as she wanted…which meant the other kids watched too.
In the afternoon Abe decided that even though he was about to break, he also wanted to get out of the house. So he took the kids to the park. We have pictures:
