The help has left the building

As of this morning, our Aunt/Nurses are officially gone. GOD HELP US! Lisa left today, after a long stay of taking care of us, feeding us, playing with the kids, etc., etc., etc. We had no down time between Mimi and Lisa's visits. Lisa showed up a couple days before Mimi left. Steve keeps asking who is going to show up tomorrow. We're screwed.
I worked on laundry during "day one, post help"...with some help from Ashlyn, of course. She was actually amazingly helpful today - especially when I hit a wall around 1:30 ish and said, "Mommy has to go to the bed now." In my half-coherent existence at that point, I put on various episodes of "Caillou" - thank God for that bald, little child. She watched TV a bit, played with Barbie's (about 4 of them also came to bed with us) and then checked on Steve in his office upstairs. He said she was great there too. She'd keep really quiet while he was on a call. Then, when he'd hang up, she'd say, "I was really good, Daddy!"
The kids got an exciting "breakfast for dinner" theme tonight. Steve and Ashlyn picked Colson up for school while I worked on standing up long enough to make pancakes. Thankfully, the Crazies were very happy. They LOVE breakfast for dinner!
Jiggy showed up later on with grilled filet for Steve and me. YAY! We've been terribly spoiled with dinner being made for us every night. And, not just any dinner, gourmet dinners! So, it was very tasty to get some yummy stuff (and good protein) in us tonight.
In other exciting news, we went shopping for all of Colson's school supplies yesterday! He found it totally amusing, Ashlyn had a few meltdowns (didn't help that I confined her to the cart as she just started antibiotics for a sinus infection yesterday morning...trying to limit the germ intake and spread!) and Lisa and I were a bit teary! CAN'T believe my baby starts Kindergarten in 20 days. Incredible.
