Bisc, I'm still sending out positive thoughts and prayers that the only news you hear is good news.

I have to thank you for reminding me about that shot, because unless they have signs posted at the office I probably wouldn't have thought about it. I'm not too sure I would have remembered the tetnus shot either except that softball sign ups are the next couple weekends and the only medical type question they ask (other than insurance/dr info) is "Date of last tetnus shot?" I always pull a date out of the air, lol, I know she's had one and she's only 11 so whenever it was she's still under the 10 year mark, but for some reason I'm thinking she was a toddler which means she's probably due for it sometimes soon.

She's so looking forward to her facial that I think she's forgiven me for scheduling the booster for today. She doesn't go all girly girly too often but offer her some pampering and she does in a heartbeat. I'm more interested in what they're going to use and to do and finding out if I can do this at home and how often, lol. Even though the derm recommended it, it's still cosmetic and our insurance isn't paying for it so it could get kinda pricey if I have to take her in every couple months!

No H1N1, or at least not today. Our drs office is now renting the office next door to theirs, in one they see patients, in the other they give shots (they do a lot of allergy shots there) and bloodwork. We went to the shot office to see the nurse, the flu shots are in the other office (not quite sure why) and they were closed. Nurse said she wasn't sure if they had any yet, but they'd call to let us know so we could come back. Dakota glared at me.

Asked about the tetnus shot and she looked it up for me. Said that Kota's last one was in July of '03 (so she was older than I thought.) She was going to talk to the dr tomorrow about it but thought it would be early for it now. They'll call about that too. Dakota glared at me.

She also mentioned there was a note on file that we want Dakota to have the Gardasil shots and I said yep, but if I remember right she has to wait a while after her other shots to get that one. Nurse said four months, we'll send you a reminder card for that. Dakota glared at me.

Then she came in and gave Kota the Hep A booster and yep, ya'll guessed it, Dakota glared at me.

I got more dirty looks in 20 minutes than I do in a month!

Thursday's Mission

It might be bed time for me, lol, I'm sitting here trying to figure out what I'm doing tomorrow and drawing a blank.

Ok, went back and read, tomorrow is my aunts and a little around my house. I also need to go get dog food for my aunt, but that will be later in the day since Darren has to pick it up for me.

Funny how priorities can change. Right now we are simply grateful that my Brother & SIL are both there at the hospital with my Nephew, he's not

I put a request in the Need Your Prayers Thread. It was Staph infection, looking unlikely to wean him from the ventilator. This is going to be so devastating, my Bro & SIL poured everything into they had into their two kids, truly wonderful loving kids! Now, they may have lost them both in a little over a year apart.

Biscottiii, thinking you and your family.

I didn't do much, made some dinner, ran the dishwasher, watched a tape (that actually puts me ahead of the game). I need to figure out what to do tonight.

Well, got my aunts house cleaned and her in the shower. She was rather unpleasant today for some reason. Haven't done much around my house though and I really really should. My poor kitchen is a mess. Good thing is I have no plans for tomorrow except being at home so it'll get done.

Thanks War & Dipo!

It's rough, both their kids had CF, and we were so unbelievably happy that he got a 2nd chance with the lung transplant. Today I spent the day on the phone calling the elderly relatives around the country so they have a sense of what's going down, no surprises. Plus they can share info with the rest of the relations take some pressure & phone calls off Bro & SIL. Silly thought, he was the only son of the only boy in our family. There will be no one to carry down the family name. I know, it doesn't really matter but so many thoughts running through the mind.

Now, we're just in the Wait Mode. Thanks again for the kind thoughts!

I don't really have anything planned for tomorrow so I'll just be cleaning around the house getting ready for a quiet weekend. Darren's been working a lot of overtime (and is working Saturday) and we'll spend most the weekend vegging.

I unloaded the dishwasher, made some dinner and went to bed early. I have been tired lately, I think it is all the grey we are having. Looking forward to the weekend, have a few chores but not much.

Bisc, I know this isn't easy for you, but I think it's very nice and helpful of you to be calling the other relatives so your brother and sil don't have to worry about that.

I have managed to get the kitchen and living room clean today. Looks pretty snazzy around here, though kids get out of school in six minutes for a three day weekend so it won't stay that way long!

Monday's Mission

This weekend went pretty much as expected, we spent a lot of time relaxing and just hanging out around the house.

The kids are out of school tomorrow and I'm not really planning on much then other than some cleaning around the house and laundry.

I managed to cook and clean the kitchen, ran the dishwasher last night, got through the Sunday paper and all my tapes (that was a challenge this week) and pulled a few things off the balcony to work on this week. My kitties like to eat grass but the grass I grow on the balcony is water logged so I am going to plant some more for indoor containers, LOL. I grabbed a few planters and the grass seed. Tonight I will stop by the petstore and see if they have any oatgrass seed, they seem to like that. I am thinking it is warm enough in the house that it should sprout. And I like todays mission, I think I will do that when I get home as well.

WArgod, have fun at home, we are open today (although every year I wonder why).

Heh, yeah, no fun here. Caleb woke me up about 7:45 to tell me his tummy hurt. He was a little warm too. I got out of bed and got him some tea and toast, hoping that'd settle his stomach, but I'm guessing not. He's been laying around watching tv most the morning, then about an hour ago leaned over and threw up all over the floor. He was kinda sweet though cuz afterwards he apologize profusely.

Darren's company is open toda too, Dipo. I think their first holiday is Presidents day (and could be wrong about that.) He had the kids all confused last night, lol, because he just knew they had school.

The only thing I've done so far today is clean up the floor, but I'm about ready to get started on the housework.

Tuesday's Mission

Oh funny, Darren was just griping earlier cuz I put out holey socks for him this morning. He tries not to turn on the lights in the back of the house and was hunting for non-holey socks in the dark, lol.

I'm not sure what's going on with Caleb. I thought he might be coming down with the stomach bug everyone had last week and the week before, but not really sure now. He was still vomiting a couple hours ago and running a fever, which concerned me some cuz the other kids were over it in about 12 hours or so. But, then he added a complaint about his throat hurting and his voice sounds scratchy. Spooky and speaking of the devil...he just got up to let me know how lousy he's feeling and his fevers up. I may end up taking him to the dr in the morning if he isn't any better. Usually when he gets this sick it's something that requires seeing the dr and antibiotics (if this was Kota, I wouldn't be too worried yet, but it's really unlike Caleb.)

So my plans for tomorrow are up in the air. I have some house work and more laundry to do, but really not too much of anything that absolutely has to be done.

Me too....he's showing improvement today so I'm a bit more optomistic. He spent the rest of the night up and down telling me how lousy he felt (needless to say I didn't get much sleep either.) He's still scratchy sounding (voice) and stomachs hurting, but the fever seems gone. Kept him home from school today, he's been napping on and off and watching tv.

I got my recycling done and so far that's about it. Should get up and do my little bit of housework though.

Here in Boston there is a stomach thing going on and people said it was 5 days before they could eat anything.

Wednesday's Mission

Well, I didn't get too much done today. Cut my finger open doing dishes and that was about the end of it.

Tomorrow I'll be doing dry chores and one handed chores only. Not quite sure what that will entail, but it's a fairly bad cut and in need of some babying and staying clean and dry.

You are just dangerous with sharp instruments, LOL. Hope you finger is better today, hope you are wearing your oven mitt while you clean.

I straightened up some, I have a lot of stuff inside the house that is normally on the balcony because of the rain/wind. Unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, changed out the litter locker, swept the bathroom floor, took out some recycling and trash, and cleared my email out.

Thursday's Mission

I haven't quite decided what I'm doing tomorrow. Dishes are still out for me, though the kids have been pretty good keeping up on that. May clean the living room and sweep the kitchen floor, probably throw some laundry in the washer. That's really about it I think.

Both kids have a field trip in the morning...Caleb was supposed to have it today, but they postponed it with the rain. Was to have been a walking field trip to the performing arts center. Today they were able to arrange for buses so both are going on the same day. I'm not quite sure why but they are leaving early, before school starts, so the kids have to be there early in the morning.

Friday's Mission

I'm still nursing my finger so I didn't get a whole lot done today. The kids and Darren have been on dish duty. Dinner tonight was breaded pork chops (for them, I don't eat a lot of pork) and since it required handling the meat...Dakota did it. She was very proud of how they turned out and I got to teach her about handling meat safely.

Tomorrow I need to pay some bills and do a bit of shopping for both my aunt and us. Not sure what else I'll be doing....oh, I need to get Dakota's birth certificate and the proofs of address photocopied for softball sign ups. LOL, glad I thought about that!

I finally managed to get the floor under my bed mopped! This was important because when I pulled the bed out I found a lot of old spills (kitty throw-ups). I had noticed one before, so it was time. Usually they throw up where I will see it and comfort them, LOL.

I didn't really do much else, read the paper, watched some tapes, did dinner, did my entries to fitday.com and went to bed.

Hope your finger is getting better!

Oh funny Dipo, I just posted another question about it...it's still sore but seems to be healing ok, just got a little bit of swelling around the cut.

So far this morning, paid one bill (need to pay one more but I'm doing that online,) went to the grocery store and ran an errand for my sister since she's stuck at work. I'm getting ready to carpet clean the hallway and then pick up the living room.

Do you like fitday? I haven't really checked it out yet, but saw Kona recommended it. I'm not really trying to lose weight (wouldn't complain about it if I did though, lol) but have been trying to be very careful about what I'm eating and aiming for healthy foods.
