I've been trying to write this all day

Yesterday I was saying how the kids kept on reaching new heights to test my tired patience :)  It didn't end there.  I finally got them all to bed last night at 8pm, got on the phone to call my mother in law, and as I am talking to her my daughter gets out of her bed, comes to me and tells me Eli Tzvi threw up.  It did not register right away because I think I did not want to understand what she was saying, so I gave her the phone to talk to her Safta, and saw a disaster.  I really think he ate too much pizza, the puke was on his hair, all over his face and clothes - LUCKY ME.  My husband wasn't home, and I know this is kinda silly, but he is the one that washes the kids, it is not my area, and I don't have a way of doing it, but I had no choice.

I told him to come down his bunk bed and step into the shower with his clothes, we took them off, I wanted to rinse them in there, and washed his body, gave him shampoo in his hands to rub all over his hair, told him where to rub his face more, OH JOY.  Then I had to figure out where he was going to sleep, I didn't want him in our bed, and it was too early to put him on the couch.  We are already putting the baby in the bottom bunk, its a full mattress, and he was far enough to the wall that I put Eli Tzvi next to him and gave him a pillow and a blanket, and that is how they slept most of the night. 


The baby woke up a few times toward morning, one time just the pacifier worked, and the next I just took him to our bed, he seemed uncomfortable, gassy and teething, poor guy.  I just felt super exhausted today, and the weather was so drab and cold, yeah I know, we have nothing to complain about in LA.  But seriously folks, is it wrong to expect Hollywood Perfect Weather, I think not :)

Today was a non stop morning at work, and when I got home in the afternoon I just passed out with the baby for his afternoon nap.  I really needed it, I had two classes to teach this evening, and a magic thing happened.  Once I got to my class, I just felt like myself again, teaching is really my life line.  No matter what, the weather, that time of the month, super high energy kids, my classes and my clients feeling good makes me whole again.

Thank you to all of my wonderful students and clients,
Coach Yulia
