Swing Set Up and Running

Wish I could say the same for myself! I felt so sick all weekend, still! I slept a lot, every time the boys were sleeping, so was I. My voice is still hoarse and I'm so tired. Luckily I slept well last night, getting up only once to cough, which, considering I took enough sleeping pills to fell a horse, is the way it should be, dammit!

On a brighter note, the swing set has been up and running for a few days. But they couldn't use the swings, so my wonderful mom bought them toddler swings this week and the kids LOVE them. They're getting braver with the slide as well, wanting to go down it all the time now.

They also have a mini picnic table and bench under the slide, and this is where the sandbox will go if I ever gain enough energy and patience to actually want to deal with the sand.

I had it built to the side of my porch. I guess I have fantasies that one day I will be able to sit there sipping chocolate martinis and reading while my boys play on their own in the yard. May be a few years yet.

As usual on Monday mornings, my boys cried when I had to leave them. They are used to having me all weekend and then cry when we must part on Mondays. I hate it too, but at the same time, they wear me out so much that at least on Monday mornings I am sitting at my desk and have a couple of minutes to myself. I don't know how sahm's do it. Still I do miss my boys when I am at work.
