Aww. Your zoos are big with the mole rat love. All across America, people are waking up to the magic of mole rats!

We've had 'em in Columbus for a long time, IJS.

Crap. Because I didn't get an email yesterday, I've missed out on a $10 Little Tike car & scooter for Owen that was listed on Craigslist. Feh.

Just another quick post before I head to the airport.

No news from mom, which leads me to believe she is still stuck in emergency waiting for a room to be available.

K-Bug passed her driving test - watch out folks. Her tester was a very thorough dude who wanted her to share the cake a friend had given her. Then the computer almost didn't authotize the license since TODAY is her birthday and marks the 6 months since she got her permit. They had to do an override.

Ok. Time to check the bag and make sure I remembered all the stuff I need for this silly trip.

So, I've been looking for Paris apartment rentals (DH and I are going in September for our 5-year anniversary), and I noticed this on one of the sites.

F2F2007 in Marrakech, anyone?

Ma~ma to you, MG.

Suzi, all the best to your mom. I hope you and K have a good time. I'm so glad she passed her test!

Jess, is E okay, now?

Cashmere, how'd Olivia do, today? Did she nap, or was she all wired from her long sleep last night? I thought of you several times today, while toddler wrangling. One went one way, the other went t'other way, both had snotty noses, and were tired and cranky (because they miss their mommy mostly, and only know me a little bit).

He's going to be popping Tylenol for the next week (maybe Vicodin -- so far, the Tylenol is enoug), but he's fine. It was outpatient/local anaesthetic, nothing serious.

Good. I'm glad to hear it. I almost popped the recovery room nurse in the nose, when Ben had his outpatient procedure last Fall. She was so cranky with a ten year old (who'd been under general anesthesia and was in pain) I couldn't believe it (and I'm a generally cranky person, so I cut the cranky a decent amount of slack).

Cashmere, how'd Olivia do, today?

She didn't sleep very much but was very mellow--sitting in her bouncy seat awake and alert for almost 45 minutes while I took a long, hot bath and got dressed. I think I hit the baby lottery again with a good one.

I don't know how my babysitter does this on a daily basis--nor how she is so pleasant and perky when I pick O up in the afternoon.

Jessica, I'm glad it went well. I hope his recovery is quick.

I nearly forgot to welcome back vw--glad you're back with us, Bug.

~ma for MG's Mom. Not thinking on babies driving. Nope. Not going there.

Just popping in to say Welcome Back, Bug! Glad to see you. Also, conrgats to k-Bug, and lots of ~ma to MG's mom, Jessica's E, and everyone else who needs it.

Also, I let Ellie play with her tube of Lotrimin all the time. Luckily
