Gawd, it has been a really miserable 48 hours. It has given me a new appreciation for the common cold, while still not fun- at least you are able to function, take care of your kids etc. I went and got a (24hr) throat culture Tuesday morning and felt increasingly worse as the day went [...]

Because now I’m sick. Nathan is still under the weather (and subsequently home today) and the icing on the cake is that Sandy shit in her bed sometime last night. A Plus.
PC let me know yesterday that he had strep and hoped I didn’t get it. And last night as my head was pounding I [...]

I thought I had specifically requested to have our names removed from the shit list. Maybe there is some special clause in there that says the day your husband leaves your counter starts over. The first 24 hours have not. gone. well. We’ve been to the doctor twice today, called the ER once today, called [...]

Nathan came down with a wicked bug yesterday afternoon. All of a sudden it sort of hit him that he was feeling puny and around 5pm he came in, curled up on the couch and fell asleep for the rest of the night. He complained that his throat hurt and he has a fever. Im [...]

First off, I’d like to give a big Way To Go to my husband, the “guest poster” for putting up a link to our old blog. The one we decided to no longer use since it had our name on it. Sweetie, it sort of defeats the purpose when you put a link on this [...]

The cheapest tickets I can find ring in at $3993. Stellar deal, no? It would be less if the 3 month old didn’t rate her own seat but dude, I can. not. hold her that entire trip. I just can’t. Impossible. Also, that price does not include the cost of shipping a box of toys [...]
