I just realized it's been more than a month since I've posted here. Mostly because we've been busy with hockey and people being sick around here. You know, the usual stuff. Oh, and I've been spending a lot of time on Facebook, so LJ's sort of taken the back seat, even though I can write on here in ways that I cannot on FB. Ah, well ( Read more... )

I had my physical last week and finally addressed the fact that I have had constant sinus pain and pressure for a while. My doctor sent me for a ct scan of my sinuses on Monday. I was just getting over a cold but figured it wouldn't make that much of a difference since the worst had passed. Yesterday my doctor's office called and says, "What ( Read more... )

The girl is sick again, this time with the runs. I had it on Sunday but was so paranoid about cleaning afterward that I thought I had gotten all of it. No such luck, I guess. This morning I wiped everything down in the bathroom again and also wiped down the keyboard to the computer and the phone. Die, germs, die ( Read more... )

The girl is laying on the couch, trying to recover from getting sick with the stomach bug this morning. The boy complained of a stomachache last night, but got better pretty quickly. However he had the virus last week, so I'm wondering if he just got a mild version this time while the girl got the real thing. Sigh. So we're bagging the ( Read more... )

I had to go back and see what I had written in my last entry, guess it's been a while ( Read more... )

Halloween was unusually stressful for me this year. My daughter kept telling everyone who went to hand her candy that she was allergic to peanuts, and this continued long after I told her multiple times that I would check her bag when we got home and exchange out what she couldn't eat. All the kids kept running ahead of us and wouldn't stop no ( Read more... )

My son is singing the national anthem in the shower. Just thought I'd share ( Read more... )

This past week was really way too busy for my fragile little mind so I have been vegging out all morning. I did post some books on amazon.com to sell and some random stuff on freecycle.org to just get it out of my house. The stuff I am trying to freecycle is mostly from my mother-in-law, who I thought said was no longer going to give us Christmas ( Read more... )

Today was not so great. There was a huge detour on the way to my daughter's school that took me 10 minutes out of the way and therefore about five minutes late. Fortunately, I was not the only one. The cop by the detour was absolutely useless. My tax dollars at work ( Read more... )

My daughter has a UTI. She's been on an antibiotic since Friday and seems to be fine, although it was pretty hard to tell she had anything wrong to begin with. She never had a fever or complained about being in pain. We're going back next week to make sure the infection is gone, and then discuss why has this has gone on for so long ( Read more... )
