Happy Birthday Mr. Doodlebug

Today is Mr. Doodlebug's birthday and I feel bad that it hasn't been a more festive day. We woke up at his parents' house this morning and he opened his presents with baby Doodle's help. Then while he was in the shower I noticed a sore on BD's lip. Knowing that BD's friend had come down with Coxsackie on Saturday and knowing all the symptoms I am sure it is what he has. Great!

We watched Sesame Street, had an early lunch and Mr. D packed up the car for our trip home. When we got home he unloaded the car while I kept BD occupied. The house isn't in order. The kitchen floor is filfthy, the dining room floor has drywall dust all over it from the water damaged wall my father fixed before he left this morning, the guest room and BD's bathroom are dirty and are in desperate need of a thorough wash down. We switched to cloth diapers more than a week ago and I still don't have a good system for storing the dirty ones.

Back to poor Mr. D. We had birthday cake last night at his parents' house, but it wasn't his actual birthday. I think I'll go out and get a delicious cake from our local Italian bakery and the fixin's for a nice dinner.
