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... )

I got woken up this morning by an automated message that school was closed today. I wasn't really surprised, as we were supposed to get snow, sleet and rain all day. When I went outside, I thought the superintendent of our schools was slightly off his rocker, since there were only a couple of inches of snow on the ground, but later it turned to ( Read more... )

And we're closing out 2008 by going out to dinner with the kids. That's pretty much it, because we got around five inches of snow today and we're not sure how the roads are. I am glad my husband didn't have to work. We hung out, cleaned the house, that's been about it. Will the excitement ever end ( 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 think I just got through most of the entries I've missed in the past couple of weeks. I haven't felt a huge need to blather on as of late plus the fabulous New England winter sort of threw a wrench in the works, but mostly I think I've been ok and not as cranky as usual and perhaps that's why I've been quiet? Hmm ( Read more... )

We made it back and forth to my in-laws in one piece. It was exhausting and yet not long enough, because I didn't get to visit with my husband's sisters and extended family nearly as much as I would have liked. My mother and father-in-law? Meh. I could have skipped the dinner with them, as I find my husband's stepfather completely irritating, ( Read more... )
