Chris had been gone all last week on business, so he took Monday off with the intent to take the big kids hiking and give me a day at home with the baby to listen to quietness. Unfortunately, Mary was on her worst day of the cold that had been moving through the house, so I felt obliged to keep her home. Chris enjoyed a great day hiking with a dad-friend (which is very good, he's been working crazy-hard) and I stayed home with the two littlest ones, both sick. And when Mary is sick, she is a very ill-tempered little girl (unlike her brother who just lies in a sweet, pathetic lump). You should have read my pathetic email of despair written to Chris in the midst of Mary screaming in a temper tantrum for an hour straight (in the face of my trying everything on the spectrum, nothing of which worked). Not a relaxing day for Mama, but John did enjoy some really good quality time with Daddy!
