One of 'those' weeks

We have had a rough week. With everyone being sick and me just not feeling even close to 50%, it was a hard time.

This week we have:

had swimming time in the pool we are borrowing from the neighbours almost every night
play time with friends
run out of tissues
run out of drugs
mucked up our meal plan due to lack of veggies
gotten mad at each other
watched more movies
had the AC on for the first time
gone through hand-me-downs and discovered so many great clothes!
read books
started the new reader program at school
forgot to hand in the new reader program at school (oh yeah I'm a great mom!)
lost the battery charger for the camera(so not alot of photos now)
worked on the weeds in the back yard
started to till up some of the back yard for topsoil and sod

and the biggest heart break of all

Nemo died.


We got home from our trip and on Tuesday morning DH couldn't find him in the tank. I was sure he was just swimming in the castle we had. When Arnold lifted it up he found that pumpkin had died in there.

Telling K was so hard. We avoided it as long as we could then when K asked why Arnold wasn't feeding Nemo we had to tell him. Arnold went in and told him that Nemo had died this weekend and he was no longer in the tank. K freaked. He cried and cried and cried. He snuggled with his daddy and had such a rough morning before school. He was sad the whole time we were in line at school and he told his friends and they were all sad for him.

We did tell him he can get a new one sometime this month. We said it might have been a good thing since we need to clean the tank and get everything 'perfect' for the new fish.

So this month sometime the boys and I are heading down to take Arnold out for lunch for the last time at this office and getting some new fish :)

It's just been one of 'those' weeks.
