The dentist appointment is cancelled. I am way too scared to go outside.

I'm way to scared of the dentist.

Cindy, sometimes I have coughed so hard I've thrown up.

Cindy, you should have NO Mommy Guilt -- *you've* been sick, too! And your body needs the sleep. t stern glare

ION, because I didn't go to work for the past 2 days, and because I'm a lazy git, I didn't shovel my car out while I was off, and a heaping mound of ice-snow-ice built up on my car.

This morning, when I went out to dig out the car, it had already been mostly dug out, and had a little something drawn in the snow on the hood: [link] (closeup). The Boy stayed over last night, and he always gets up and leaves before I even get up, and apparently he dug my car out for me this morning.

Color me doomed.

Aww. Absolutely doomed!

OTOH, there are worse dooms.

I'm way to scared of the dentist.

Well, that was the other deciding factor for me.

Teppy, I colored you doomed ages ago, but what a sweet Boy you have.

Hey, Bitches. After feeling like poop for 3 weeks, I finally called in sick today. And, it's a good thing as I have had a rough morning with throwing up due to coughing. I'd like to say this is a new development, but in reality I thought I was over that part of my illness. Guess not.

Also, it makes me sad that I'm not the only one doing that right now. {{Julia}}

I had to skip like mad, but Happy Belated Anniversary to Deena and Greg!!!

And, Teppy, you are soo doomed. In such a lovely way.

Totally, wonderfully doomed.

Oh Teppy, being doomed by someone thoughtful and considerate is a good sort of doom, for being...you know...doomed. Also, I hope you just have random ick, and not salmonella. I may be in the wrong thread for that, but whatever.

I think I feel guilty because I didn't even hear her. It's not like I woke too, and Scott said, "I've got it," and so I rolled back over. No. It was like I am childless. I knew nothing, 'til I went to check on her this morning and noticed her bedspread was gone and her sheets were a different color than when I tucked her in, last night.

Amy, don't worry about the guys shovelling. I bet none of them think they ought to have been the ones to give birth. t /sexist

Wait. Chi, you've been GOING TO WORK? Does your doctor know that?

Cindy, Scott's an equal partner parent. DO NOT feel guilty. If Julia really, really needed YOU, she would have come and gotten you.

ChiKat, I thought you had pneumonia?! You should have been home for days!
