1. Ack Kar, your poor boy is having a really rough week! Hope the meds work and he gets back to feeling better quickly!

2. Today was supposed to be fun day here. Supposed to be.

3. We had a good start to the morning. Both kids slept in late. Caleb got up a little after 8 (which is really late for him,) and Kota slept til 9:15.

4. That gave me a chance to get some stuff done before they even got up. Unfortunately, rest of the day hasn't been as good.

5. Kota's allergies are acting up. She had some children's benedryl before breakfast. She's been throwing a major attitude all day long. Picking fights with Caleb, not listening at all, pouting and crying. I've had to keep reminding myself she's not feeling well and she isn't choosing to feel this way.

6. We tried to play a game, but she was so grumpy Caleb finally said he couldn't play anymore. We put the game up and fixed lunch, which also turned into a huge ordeal.

7. I finally bribed them. Told them if they go take naps after lunch (and actually go to sleep) they can stay up late tonight. My deal was a nap, and they can stay up til 10. I was willing to give them til 11, but they stopped when they'd negotiated to 10:31. Works for me.

8. On a more positive note, while I was fixing lunch Caleb picked up the den. Wasn't really much to do, a few toys Kota had been playing with and his coloring book and crayons, but he did it without being asked.

3.2 Kyle gets hives because of an unusual autoimmune response to viral infections. The simple explanation is that viral infections change some of the proteins in your body, and Kyle's system sees those changed proteins as an allergen. So he frequently gets hives after any severe or longlasting viral infection. Typically tho, they only last a day or two and are easily taken care of with benadryl and claritin or allegra. This time however, they didn't go away as usual so we have to use some more aggressive treatment.

War.1 - geez, you're having a rough kid day too. Must be something in the air!

3.4 kar, my alterego friend has hives ALL the time. the only med she has found to work for her is zyrtec. might see if that works. docs don't know/can't find why she has them.

3.5 JBean, he started Zyrtec on Sunday, but I was told to only give it once a day. It worked, but only for about 10-11 hours, then the hives would come back.

Currently he's taking *both* the Zyrtec and prednisone, and they've increased the Zyrtec to twice a day until the hives have been gone for 24 hours, then once a day for 7 days.

Poor kid is really learning how to swallow pills, with four a day for awhile!

1. We have about 2" of snow on the ground right now. It has stopped snowing, but predictions are for about 6-7" total by some point tomorrow.

2. Had my dreaded physical today with a new female doc. Glad I made the switch to a woman. I am far more comfortable with her.

3. Doc found a lump in my left breast--but thinks it's a cyst. So I will get my mammogram and an ultrasound she ordered asap. Not losing any sleep over this, but not what I wanted to hear.

4. Feel good about finally getting on with diet and exercise plans. With a short-term goal in sight (my 1-month followup with my new doc), I think I will be able to get it in gear.

5. It helps that my dh is now on an exercise program. With two of us in this together, it will be easier, I think.

6. My SIL (Rockville, MD) sent us a picture of Teresa, the Guatemalan baby they will be adopting in February.

7. I have my elbow surgery in early February (6 week recuperation), but I hope to be able to travel to MD and see and hold the newest member of our family!

8. My new Roomba (automatic vacuum) arrived by UPS today!

9. I was too tired to even open the box. I know it has to be charged before first use, so I will open it and plug it in before slipping off to sleep tonight.

1. I have reported Eggie to the International Association of Schticklers.

2. I can't believe I slept until 6:30 AM. I'm usually up between 3 and 4 in the morning.

3. Meetings today....which means I have to actually get dressed today, yuck.

1. Almost everything was closed today in Munich for Epiphany (Feast of the Three Kings....you know, "We three Kings from Orient are"). I went to Mass at the Cathedral, and then to the Bavarian Radion Station, where the director made special arrangements for me to work. The office usually has 52 people working in it and today there were 3. One girl was just archiving all of the reports of the Tsunami. That is all she has done at work since it happened. Had to go in the back door, as the security office wasn't open in the front.

2. Celebrated the feast of the three kings by eating my own feast of a half rotisserie chicken and a pretzel from the train station. Bought another of those chocolate cakes and a liter of lemon diet Coke. YUP, I'm certainly going to be losing weight! NOT!

3. I start the 1950-1951 school year tomorrow. There are only about 8 or 10 tapes of about 30 minutes each, but I will have to start and stop them because I don't have any written documentation on them. GADS, my German better get good FAST!

4. I am missing my cat. I hope that my students are remembering to feed her.

5. Here's the update on German BB. There are 7 that you can call in to vote whether they will stay or not. Some are safe, I think. There are "discussions" about certain topics on some nights. They were told about the Tsunami and were in utter shock. One girl got to talk to her husband for about 2 minutes tonight. She was outside in a cage-like thing and ran inside in a hurry. There is still a group who have to live outside like they are camping. At least there is no snow on the ground. It is a very confusing big brother.

Probably should have posted all of this in the Road Trips thread, but I can never find it!

1. Really tired today, as I didn't get much sleep during the night due to being all wrapped up in Bob's arms all night while he snoozed away.

2. I went to the hospital last night with Bob to see a friend of his who had a heart attack and needed quadruple bypass yesterday morning. He was heavily sedated so we didn't get to talk with him. This man looks like Santa, and rides a Harley. I met him last month during a toy run to the hospital in their home town. I sure hope he makes it through this ok.

3. I saw my GP doctor yesterday, and he decided to up my anti-depressant dosage. I'll start on that tomorrow.

4. In December, I started eating sugar again, and the last week of it, I was eating lots of junk everyday. I've been gaining weight, and finally got my resolve back to quick the sugar again. I'm on day 5 of being sugar free again.

5. I got the Lord of The Rings, Return of The King on the extended version 4-disk DVD set, and am going to watch it today... or maybe just go to sleep.

6. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that when I go to see my GYN tomorrow morning, she'll tell me I'm healing from the last surgery. One of the reasons I'm not healing so well is partly related to the diabetes.

1. Yay, I get to work from my home office for the next 5 days (yes I will be working over the weekend - it's officially tax season). I've had to be out way too much recently and when I'm not here the work doesn't get done.

2. My first project will be to find the top of my desk - piles of files and papers everywhere- acccck!

3. I hope everyone is surviving the strange weather conditions we've all been having. I love the rain, it's rare in So. Calif. But I know it causes hardships for many so I don't pray for it anymore.

4. I feel blessed to be safe, warm and dry when so many thousands of people are dealing with unimaginable hardships and devastation.

5. I also feel blessed to be part of the TVCH community. There are so many wonderful people here and I appreciate being able to share in all the happy moments and to offer support and prayers during life's struggles.

6. Is it too late to wish everyone at TVCH a Happy, Healthy & Prosperous New Year?

7. Sage beat me, but if Miss Eggie is really a schtickler softie this year, maybe I don't need to worry about it.

1. Good morning TVCH!

2. Yesterday was a pure chaos. Most of our city lost power and are still without power today.

3. Lots of shelters are being formed so everyone can
have heat.

4. We have been without cable for 2 days now.

5. The power at our house was only out for a few hours, so we're one of the few fortunate ones.

6. My prayers go out to all the people suffering from weather related nightmares and health concerns. {{HP}} and {{Sage}}

7. The good news is that I was off yesterday. Snow days ROCK!

8. Have a great weekend everyone :-)

1. Four weeks in a row the silly newscasters have said he are going to have snow. Still haven't seen a flake. They change their minds two days before. Very irritating. I want snow!!!

2. Jenna has officially entered the challenging two's. Oh. My.

3. She bit Jake so hard that she broke the skin and he has two red scrape marks and bruising on his shoulder.

4. When she gets mad, she bites, hits or throws things. She took a spatula out of the drawer and started hitting Jake with it the other day.

5. Tomorrow we are taking her in for her 2 year pictures. This should be interesting!

6. I refuse to call it the terrible two's since it is a natural process she is going through in her learning, but it sure can be difficult!

7. I made some really good chili the other night...I found the recipe in a new low-carb cookbook I got for Christmas. Yum!

8. I am making chicken noodle soup for dinner tonight...it is cold, windy and rainy here and that is good comfort food. Maybe I will make some french bread too.

9. Have a great weekend, Factoiders!!

1. I am sitting in the hotel breakfast room with the computer and there is a lady redecorating the lobby with a winter instead of a Christmas theme. It's very pretty.

2. Went to the Rocky Horror Show tonight at the orchestra hall, where of course they don't let you throw things.

3. They say different things for the stage version and of course some in English and some in German.

4. It was an absolutely incredible production! I'm SO glad that I went.

5. On the tram ride home, there were the same two guys as going over....all dressed in makeup and costume.

6. Most people there did NOT dress up! WHEW!

7. I finished listening to all the radio broadcasts that I REALLY need. I will do the other two series on another trip.

8. I haven't figured out what I'm doing tomorrow concert-wise, but I need to go to the grocery store!

9. I saw the police in action at the train station tonight they were hauling out a VERY drunk guy. Make that dragging!

10. I had Chicken Cordon Bleu at the Bavarian Radio Corporation cantine. I'm going to miss going there for a hot lunch next week....gads, I'm going to have to swipe a roll and meat at breakfast. GAG!

1. I am enjoying cruising through the club and its threads at my leisure tonight and via my hubby's new laptop. You are all such interesting people with the craziest weather I have ever seen. Well almost, we were at the heart of the famous ice storm a few years back. Talk about the power of mother nature. I hope people get their power back soon.

2. She is driving to Columbia to an open casting call for Survivor. SHe had mailed her application and video at the post office this morning. I found out about the casting call this morning so she called the post office and they gave her envelope back to her. SHe is very nervous and excited. She is leaving 3 in the morning so she can wait in line.

1. How fun!!! Good luck to her! How cool would that be for all of us if she made it?!

2. I had a HORRIBLE class at school today. This one particular class. I take attendance- 25 names on the list, 21 bodies in the room, yet they said "here" for every name called. I put in a video- they're turned around in their desks talking, playing on their phones, and I GOT HIT WITH A PIECE OF APPLE!!!!!! Bad, bad, bad! Oh! And I opened my coffee thermos and the inner lid wasn't shut all the way so I had a lap full of coffee, and later I took a sip from my cup and it was too big of a sip and it dribbles down the sides all over my shirt. The only good things here were that I had a fleece to put on over my shirt and I was wearing kind of dark jeans so the coffee spot wasn't too obvious.

3. I haven't been this happy that it's Friday in a long time. I always like the weekend and that Friday means it's going to be the weekend- but what a day!
