Babysitting duties & Peanuts

Some kind of bug hit at home, and Ginger and the kids aren’t doing so great today. Truth be told, I’m not feeling so great as well, though not nearly as bad as Ginger or CJ. I got permission from the boss (thanks, Jeff!) to go home and tend to the family. So I got to play baby-sitter and nurse today!

Ginger was really tired and needed some sleep, so after making sure that the kids had something to eat, she went to take a nap. Jordan wasn’t quite ready yet, so she went through some more nursing and a bottle of baby food before she finally crashed. CJ got to feel better soon, so now he’s back to his usual bouncing around the house. In an attempt to keep him under some form of control (I also needed to get some work done), we decided to go through a Peanuts marathon. So far, we probably watched about 8-9 episodes of peanuts. The funny thing is, there’s only 6 different episodes of peanuts between 3 dvds, so we’ve watched some episodes several times already. He doesn’t mind it at all, he’s loving it.

I used to be a big Peanuts fan when I was a little kid, until I was about 6 years old, when they stopped broadcasting it (along with the pink panther, mr. magoo, mighty mouse and a bunch of other pretty good ones). So i haven’t really minded the whole marathon thing. Besides, i was able to get much of my work done, with Jordan asleep and him mostly quiet in there watching it. Quiet, of course, doesn’t really apply to Caio, so it’d be more accurate to say that he’s not causing major chaos while watching it, so I guess we’re all good. Hopefully, everybody will wake up feeling better soon.
