December 18, 2021 – Day 6

Thing 1 woke up asking to play Roblox with her cousin. After yesterday’s bids for connection, there was no way I was going to say no. I told her to go for it.

Meanwhile, Thing 2 woke up and tried to blow her nose on the sly. She knows, I am ON IT! I am the mom who knows your poop cycle, and will question it every time it is out of whack. So, Thing 2 knew I was going to be all over the disgusting things that were coming out of her little nose. I asked her, “did you get it all out?” To which she replied quietly, “no.” The child was going to try and go somewhere else to finish blowing her nose, just so she could do it in peace. #LMAO #IKnow #YouGotTheWrongMommaBoo

Off she went to the guest room and 5-7 minutes later, I think she was all done. #Yuck When I called Thing 2 into my room, she already knew what I was going to say. I told her, “I need to test you again.” Now, when this child gets pissed…she gets PISSSSSSED! Now, when this mom doesn’t care, she doesn’t CAAAAAARE! I got the most stank attitude out of that child. #GirlBye #WhoYou

Thing 2 cannot stand these nasal swabs, and I get it. We are where we are, though. I needed to make sure the right amount of precautions were taken should she now test positive. So, I swabbed her myself. She was mad about that, but I didn’t have time to watch her lightly touch her nose because she really didn’t want to do it. Nor did I want her to ask me to please turn around and not watch her. Nah, boo…you too slick for all that! Sidebar, she did that yesterday.

15 minutes later and she was negative again! #WellAlrightyThen I guess the common cold is still around after all. I hadn’t seen it in such a long time. So, Thing 2 began her own medicine regimen. I gotta watch her there too because as you may remember, the child has poured medicine out in a towel before. #SheIsSneaky #ButIGotsMyEyeOnYou #YouWillOnlyCatchMeSlippinOnce

My sick babies proceeded to veg out on Roblox, and I was in full support of it. Since I had such a restful day yesterday, I spent the day wrapping gifts in the basement. I got dishes washed, and put some soup on for dinner. I almost made it to do laundry, but we looked at each other and decided we really didn’t want to engage. I was good with that. There’s always tomorrow!

Another day down…
