The kidlets are finally resembling humans again. Logan’s Kindergarten teacher still isn’t interested in having him in class yet (gee, did that huge kleenex blister put you off?), but at least they are off the couch and interested in their usual energetic/destructive activities. I on the other hand was practically catatonic at work after three days of hardly any sleep. Daphne leeched it right out of me, which I think is hardly fair considering who pays the bills around here. Look at her. I just want to poke her to get even.

The boys made (well, decorated) cookies to celebrate feeling better. The frosting is green because the bottle of red food coloring fell out of the cupboard (thank you very much) and shattered on the counter. I was off camera, having a very large glass of wine.

Tomorrow is Dylan’s annual echocardiogram, and our opportunity to thank the good doctors at Stanford for saving his life three years ago. I am happily taking the morning off to hold his hand and spend eons watching the trains go round the model railroad in the hall outside Diagnostic Services.

Uncle David is here too tonight, and the boys are absolutely beside themselves. They’re acting like crackhead chimpanzees on a deadline.
