Man, this is the third day in a row that Daphne has woken with a temp, even on her second day of antibiotics. Long live Wednesday.
Also, I am certifiably sick as well, with the whole “I had a code ib by dose” diction and sniffly punctuation. After dropping the boys at school and firing off an email to a teacher, assuring her that I do, in fact, bathe my children every day, sometimes twice, and that they have clean clothes when they leave the house no matter what they look like after recess, I scrubbed my face and hands, chugged some Dayquill, and sat here to see if I could stand it.
I might last long enough to hit “publish.” I guess you’ll know that when you read this.
Anyone else not answering thier phones? I mean, I’m a bad American and a fraud for not voting yesterday (see, sick kids and moms might account for lower turnouts; who wants to wait in line as a restless, germy, family of four?), but COME ON. If Dean McCain is still calling me at 4 pm with anything but a reminder to get out there and vote, he’s maybe a little late with the messaging. Minds were made up, man, stop leaving me voice mail. At least during the last elections, I received calls from Arnold, Clint Eastwood, and other hunky celebs. Not McCain.
Yipee. Daphne’s medication has kicked in way ahead of mine, and she’s begging me to do a puzzle with her. Gee, I hope it has a lot of tiny pieces. Anyone remember Schmuzzles? That would make my head explode.
I write. A lot.
I also design stuff and collect funny things kids say. Oh, and please buy my book. It's very funny.
I also review books and keep track of them in The Mommy Blog Amazon Book Store.

Niiiice. I wrote a letter last week that included: “I assure you, I am not so blinded by my love for my child so as not to realize he can be just downright aggravating.”
But yours sounds like a lot more fun.

Hope you feel better soon.
The conversation I had was with my Ex and my side went like this...Leave him alone. I assure you he will graduate and manage to get into a decent college.
Hi PreCalc teacher commented on his report card that he puts in little effort. He has a 90 so more power to him in my view. Now, let’s talk about that 75 in AP American History.

Oh my gosh, I so here you with the sickies! We were so bad for several months straight that I’d literally call the doctor and just say, “hey, it’s me,” and they’d know who it was. Take care of yourself and get well . . . all of you!

I hope you feel better. This mom went through a two week bout with a sick bug through the house. I feel your pain. It takes not only recovery time from the bug but getting back into the swing of things.

Feel better soon. Why is it that moms never ever get a sick day? No phone calls here yet (thank goodness) as we don’t vote until Tuesday

I hope you are all feeling better today. Being sick sucks. Since Thanksgiving we’ve not been completely well.

“Gail: Hi PreCalc teacher commented on his report card that he puts in little effort. He has a 90 so more power to him in my view.”
Doesnt that tick you off Gail? Last report card I got a “he does just enough to get by.”
This about a child who made honor roll last semester and missed it this time with all A’s & B’s, but ONE C. He’s also in the G&T;program.
‘Getting By’, to me, would be all C’s and D’s. Trust me, I know - I perfected ‘getting by’ in 1986.
