I have no good advice on getting kids to stay in bed since mine never did. Then again, I didn't try real hard. When they went to school they had to be in their rooms by whatever time, and then lights and other electronics have to be off by whatever time. Still most mornings I find Brendon asleep with a book smooshed under his face and Bobby with his radio on. Our deal is if they give me a hard time in the morning I will give them a hard time at night.
I knew vw had a mom voice!
Oh Beverly, I'm sorry and disappointed for you. I hope you get your time off very very soon.
Did a bunch of stuff at work since I started this post. Oops. Stupid work.
Still? it might warm up to as much as the single digits above zero (Fahrenheit) today.
I'm so hoping the warming trend continues until tomorrow. Sammie's got an appointment at the vet.'s for annual shots, and I was dreading bringing her out into such cruel cold.
Deena, I'm glad yesterday ended up on a positive note. I hope cake day goes well.
Robin, ugh on the uncooperative girly bits. I'm one of those the doctor said to try and stick it out through menopause. Supposedly the fibroid will shrink back down then. Unless things get worse I'm resigned to waiting, especially after listening to your travails. It makes me realize just how bad it actually could be.
{{Bev}} What a bummer! I hope you and B. get another chance to take off and relax, soon.
Cindy, better luck getting whatever Ben needs to get rid of the fever. You guys have been through enough with this crap, already.
I just spoke to the maintenance guy for my apartment. He and his wife (the manager) were both in my place yesterday and they agree that it's cold. (Shock!) So they're going to be putting in more heaters. Hopefully today.
Whew.
Cindy I will never freget are kiss at the Blues Diner Love, John. P.S. Meta me there at 10:00. ♥
Dying of the funny. I think, "Meta me there," is possibly the best part.
Thanks, Sail. I called the doctor's office to check on the throat culture the E.R. ran, on Sunday. It came back negative, so this is probably just a virus, and is probably the virus Chris had (and that I may well have). It's just too much in a row. He had strep. He had pneumonia (at least our doctor thought he did). Now he's got this fever. The poor little guy. He hasn't been to school since his birthday, on 1/26.
I didn't know you had the fibroid issue, too. Ah, the joys of womanhood.
Beverly, I'm sorry that you and your mother are sick, and that you're again missing your beach trip.

I think so. I started to correct the spelling as I was posting it, and then realized that's half of what makes it funny. Of course, the other half is her attempt to get her father to think I've cuckolded him.
On Superbowl Sunday, a 17 year old minnesota kid decided to "uphold family tradition" and run barefoot around the block during halftime.
It was -17 Fahrenheit.
Idiot was treated for severe frostbite at a burn center in the Twin Cities yesterday.
{{{Beverly}}}, I'm sorry that you're sick and missing your ocean time. Health~ma to you and your mother.
Deena, I am glad Aidan was able to enjoy his birthday a little more in the evening. I hope the cough gets better soon.
Cindy, I hope Ben's fever goes down soon.
I just wiki-ed Fernet. I thought it was similar to Absinthe but it really seems more like Jägermeister.
Must be an acquired taste?
Must be an acquired taste?
yep. and jagermeister is close, but the herbs are stronger in fernet
