It's the eyes thing that would have freaked me out, Suzi. I'm glad they took blood -- but I agree it's better not to know right now what they're checking for.

It reminds me of when Jake was a newborn and it looked like one of his eyes was bleeding. I FREAKED out, and it turned out he'd scratched the rim with one of his tiny, sharp fingernails.

Fortunately/unfortunately, when the doc asked how he heals from cuts, we were able to tell him about how CJ stabbed himself in the leg a month ago and bleeding wasn't an issue. Intelligence, on the other hand...

I have now reached Save Firefly levels of insanity.

Allyson, GM has NO IDEA what they have unleashed!

Blogged my last few natural disasters: [link] Goddamn, blogging with pictures is WORK. Uhng.

Sara's house! No more settling!

I hope all of CJs tests come back with good results -- the bleeding eyes things! yoiks!

I am missing the michigan weather of 77 degrees. This hot crap blows.

My former principal told us on the last day of school he was leaving (no shit...after making some extremely bad personnel decisions like letting go the one teacher in the history department who teaches and has good success on AP exams). The new principal is going out on disability and so we are getting an interim. The whole thing is totally fucked up. Yay new school year?

The LA Zoo this saturday is having a star wars day. Noah doesn't know yet, but I'm super excited.

Also, I just deleted 728 work related emails unread -- it's all AP listserv stuff. It was very liberating.

Noah's gonna blow a gasket that day!

Yeah, no more settling. Please. I'm really relieved that this is the worst of it, but I'm tired of natural disasters. And the hurricane will really test my roof. My roof post-earthquake. Cries.

Bleeding from the eyes is creepy as hell, Suzi -- I hope it easily explained and fixable.

That's all I got -- I have no more spoons today.

Allyson -kick ass and take names. I have faith in your whoop-as fun.

Maria, I am so sorry your YAY jobs aren't panning out, and feel down about it for you and me. I feel like I should have done more, better...something. Let me know if I can help.

Love you all.

The eyes thing happened due to the severity of the bleed and him pinching his nose to try to get it to stop. Ya know how when you cry, you end up sniveling? This was kinda in reverse. Utterly bizarre to see, but the main issue is to make sure he doesn't have something up with bleeding and not clotting. I'm sticking with the one time ONLY freaky event theory until something proves me wrong.
