I'm home for the rest of the week. Tuesday night when hubby picked V up they reported that she'd coughed for the entire day and had napped for a total of 10 minutes. This, just added to the two sleepless nights we'd had caused us to be concerned enough to take her to the doc.
One crackly chest later and we've got ourselves a case of pneumonia. ( Read more... )

Well that was one way-too fast week! I could have used another couple of days of just lazing around in the sun...and 30C weather. Let me tell you, I've had the thermostat cranked up for the past two days, 21C is about all I can handle. I knew I was born too far away from the equator ( Read more... )

V has been feeling poorly since Thursday or Friday. Saturday swim was a waste, she was clingy the whole time so no kicking, floating, jumping in or dunking.

I leave V in the van while I get the dogs and buggy, as she has an uncanny ability to perfectly time her dash to the road to coincide with my complete entanglement ( Read more... )

I just downloaded a bunch of pictures off Bill's camera and came across a couple I really like:

I have an aversion to ironing. It runs along the same lines as the aversion aliens have to water. Tell me what you see wrong with my latest hobby/kick ( Read more... )

That is what this past weekend was all about. And I did plenty of both. The knitwits headed to Glen House in Gananoque for the annual Needler's Retreat. I had originally intended on bringing miss V, but hubby decided that I needed time away from my non-weaned, non-bottle-taking, barely sleeping baby. Yes, I too thought he lost his marbles, but I ( Read more... )
