Overwhelmed

Jamie is getting over a bout of vertigo, and Gisèle is getting over strep throat.  I'm trying to get over the common crud, and Miles has all the energy and orneryness of a normal 3 year old.

We're trying to start the process of buying me a new car (!), but have only been able to test drive 1 vehicle so far, due to our busy schedules and sick household.  It feels like it'll never happen.  In the meantime, I have some sort of radiator leak that we don't want to bother to pay to fix since we're trying to get rid of my car.  I need to buy some more fluid so the thing doesn't overheat in the next few weeks.

My office Christmas party is in 2 days, and so far, I'll be wearing jeans and flip-flops.  Time to fit in some shopping.  I have today and tomorrow over lunch to do it, so no test-driving cars then.

Jamie and I have an overnight date planned for this Saturday (thanks to my five-year anniversary gift from work)!  But that means that sometime before Saturday, we need to find time to clean the house so that our overnight babysitters aren't disgusted by the condition of the bathrooms & floors.

Last night was the first night I've had the energy to cook dinner in about two weeks.

I could go on, but venting isn't helping - I'm off to try to find some fabulous shoes for the Christmas party.  Step 1 in trying to make things better.  Wish me luck!
