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... )

We have four new windows and I am a little more excited about them than I should be. Right now, two of the new ones in the living room are open, but supposedly when they are closed, they are going to cut back on the road noise we hear.

The pediatrician put the boy back on ( Read more... )

We sold our condo! Yay! I didn't want to say anything until we closed yesterday, but it's now registered and is officially a done deal ( Read more... )

I made sure my kitchen and all other visible rooms were clean today because a guy from the gas company was coming to fix our meter. Like he remotely even gives a crap what my house looks like - he was in it for all of maybe three minutes. At least he didn't have to make a troubling phone call to social services :) I had to be in the house today ( Read more... )
