Happy daylight savings!

There is nothing quite like starting out your Monday morning with daylight savings time and your 7-year-old's dulcet tones saying (at 5:30 DST): "Mommy, my tummy hurts." Followed by the need to immediately scrub the entire kitchen/bathroom/hallway floors.

Well, at least we're all up now and don't have to worry about any lingering sense of sleepiness.

day off

The Vomiting Wonder is feeling better, thank goodness. Hopefully it was a case of too many cookies too close to bedtime last night. But Little Sweetie now has the evil cold, and just emerged from her bed with eyes that look like she's been possessed by demons. I just wish we could all get well long enough to go to the store and stock up on tissues. Basically this was one of those days where you just let kids watch cartoons on YouTube all day because they are too sick to do anything else, and you'd rather have them over a hard floor than carpet in case anything goes er, flying.

Is this word English? If not, what is the equivalent in American? I mean the place where you check in your coats and stuff when you go into a museum or to the opera or whatever. (Since I know every one of you does this on a regular basis...;)
