- Sat up with a puking #4 until 2am
- Didn't quite sleep for the rest of the night, between accidentally getting toddler hair up my nose, having tiny fists flung into my eye, dealing with more vomit, and all the other joys that come of sharing a bed with a sick child
- Master's alarm went off
- My alarm went off
- Got kids up, ready, and out the door without any drama, which naturally made me suspicious
- Essentially spent the entire day being sat on by a sick child or cleaning up after a sick child
- Picked the kids up from school
- Did some laundry
- Dealt with #3 child melting down in a familiar I'm-going-to-be-sick-too-before-the-week-is-out sort of way
- Tried to tidy the house
- Unloaded, loaded, and ran the dishwasher
- Made dinner
- Went to bed with the still-sick #4

- Woken up several times by my alarm, which I smashed into submission

Wednesday 19 February 2014
Feb 17, 18, and 19, 2014
Feb 17
- Public holiday. Had plans to take the kids ice skating, fucked them up. Master made snow forts with the kids in the backyard while I made dinner. Did very little in the way of housework (by which I mean, "none"). Continued feeling shitty and hormonal and psychotic. Essentially did nothing recognizably slavey, and in fact, the International Slave Judging Association sent a representative to strip me of my title.
- Started counting calories, not because SuperMasterlyMasterManPants ordered me to or anything fappish like that (although being ordered to watch what I eat usually just fills me with unreasonable and unreasoning rage), but because I'm sick of my weight.
Feb 18
- Kids out the door to school. Went to the training session thingummy I do every Tuesday. "Enjoyed" a lunch that consisted primarily of salad. Quite honestly, most of the day is lost to my memory already, which is how you know it was a highly productive day. Speaking of productive days...
Feb 19
- Awoken at 3am by fire trucks whipping past the house, sirens and horns blaring. Consider this marginal improvement over being woken by a child.
- Woken by Master's alarm
- Woken by my alarm
- Performed the usual rite of dragging kids out of bed and getting them ready for school
- Walked to the school with them
- Walked with #4 child through endless kilometers of uncleared sidewalks
- Enjoyed an Americano at a cafe with a friend
- All the trillion more kilometers full of snow back home
- Made lunch for me and #4
- Worked on a social media contract I just picked up
- Went to the school to volunteer
- Brought the kids home
- Made an early dinner
- Cancelled an evening appointment
- Went grocery shopping
- Came home, made the kids a snack
- Sorted laundry while Master put this kids to bed, made the bed and laid out Master's clothing
- Started a load of laundry
- Did more social media work
- Tried to overlook how hungry and cranky being hungry makes me
- Did some light blogging
- Fucking ate
- Switched laundy over
- Went to bed
