1. I'm still sick.

2. But now, to accompany my sore throat, I have a stuffed up nose and horrible nasal drip.

3. Needless to say today is a sick day. They were none too happy when I called in but I could give a sh*t.

4. Nyquil is my new best friend.

1. Whew...just returned from a long weekend at my moms. A good visit, but we didn't have much to do.

2. I mainly went so I could visit my grandparents who live nearby and are very sick.

3. They really looked terrible and I know they're miserable. Their whole lives are dr.s and medicine and tests and feeling bad. Sadly, I don't think there is much that can be done to improve their conditions.

4. DH called and made me laugh. Then he got to laughing, making me laugh even more. Only a few more weeks! We are all going nutty with anticipation.

5. On the drive home, I called my best friend who's expecting her first baby in a few weeks. She's nervous and tired of being huge. I wish we lived closer to each other so I could be there for all of this.

1. Today is a little league practice day. This means the kids will get out of school, run home for Caleb to change clothes and then off we go to the park. We'll get home just in time to do homework, get in the shower, eat dinner, and watch their cartoons before bed.

2. I'm going to make mini tacos this afternoon so that when we come home all I have to do is cook them for 11 minutes. Easy dinner for a hectic day.

3. One day this week, I'm going shopping for Caleb's birthday present (his bday is in May.) We're going to do the same thing for him that we did for Kota's last birthday. Paint his room, get him all new bedding, and hopefully do something that he likes and can grow into.

4. I know exactly what I want to do to his room, and I think it will be much easier than hers was. Of course, I'm not planning on painting big flowers on his walls, lol.

5. I need to come up with more meals that I can cook in the day for practice days. I need easy to make, no crock pot (since I suck with a crock pot!,) healthy meals.

6. I'm taking The Hobbit to the park today. While Caleb practices and Dakota runs off energy at the play ground, I can sit and watch her and read a few chapters. Might take my mind off of freezing!

1. Wow, I can't believe it has been so long since anyone posted in this thread! It's my favorite thread.

2. We are all on our way to recovery. Luckily, neither my son nor husband have gotten sick.

3. My husband is working late tonight and he did last night too. It is allowing me to have time to get caught up here. Yea!

4. I seem to eat out of boredom when he is not here though, so I am sitting here contemplating on what I can have. Hmmmm...

5. I hope American Idol is decent tonight.

6. We have rescheduled the fire station trip for the preschool to be on Thursday. I hope it works out this time.

7. What a boring set of facts I have done!

1. My husband cannot understand why I like Sci-Fi, but I watched most of the Quantum Leap shows and some more than once.
2. (((Sage))) gotta get some more hugs in
3. Still want to see "Passion of the Christ" but don't know when I'll get to
4. Hi Knightpatti! Good to see you! Wargod got some new knives not too long ago. How about you?
5. Talking about sick people, my son with cerebral palsy has come down with a cold. In all these years he has been one of the healthiest people on the planet, and when he gets sick he's over it in record time. But he's acting like he did two years ago, and that's not good. We cannot get him to eat and worse he won't drink.
6. His case manager called about our paperwork yesterday. I told her I'd fax it in since I didn't have time for her to come and get them because Kit is sick. She didn't even ask me what was wrong or if she could do anything. What's worse is we talked twice and she still never asked about HER CLIENT!
7. I have never watched American Idol.
8. I hope Tess has already done her thread so I can read it before I go to bed.

1. Gracie, I'm lucky that MOW enjoys the Sci Fi shows that I do.

2. It has poured down rain here all day. It was also cold, but not as cold as it was yesterday.

3. Kota sounded horrible by bedtime. She has a little cold, sore throat, and a low fever. She sounds froggy.

4. I'm hoping she'll feel better by tomorrow.

5. I missed the first half of American Idol tonight. I enjoy it much more once it gets down to the final 12 and I can get to know the contestants.

6. Today the kids school celebrated Dr. Suess' 100th birthday. Caleb took 3 of his favorite books, his pillow, and a blanket to school.

7. The spent all day reading...alone, together, in groups, with their teacher. They also had a little party to celebrate. He had a great time and came home telling me all about it.

8. I've been enjoying reading the Hobbit. Yesterday I read four chapters (along with the two I'd already reread.)

9. Tomorrow I need to post in the book club threads, but I want to go back through the chapters I read because all of them have run together into one long chapter rather than four small ones. I have to make sure I know what happened where in the book, lol.

1. Feeling more calm about the party.
2. DH finally finished painting dd's room (all he had to do what the part right next to the ceiling where I couldn't reach!) and her new canopy and drapes are being hung today.
3. I will finish hanging the pics in the hall that I repainted.
4. Off to Sam's
5. Been looking at the forecast for Saturday and it's supposed to be sunny high of 75 and low of 49..keep your fingers crossed that the weatherman is right!!
6. Looks like it's going to be 85 people coming.
7. DS started sounding a little croupy last night, hope he doesn't have a full blown attack (he gets them about 1 a year) PLEASE don't let it be "his time".
8. Got my hair cut and colored yesterday am.
9. Got the kids' cut yesterday afternoon.
10. Getting my nails and toes done today.
The food may taste like sh*t, my house may never come together, and the weather may not cooperate, but I am sure doing to look good! LOL

1. My granddaughter Hannah was born Monday afternoon and I was able to see her come into the world. Most spectacular thing on earth!

2. I have to be at work today and all I want to do is hold my new grandbaby. Did I say she is beautiful? I can't wait to get the pictures of my newest angel downloaded.

1. Congrats on all the new babies!!
2. I played another recital tonight. It was ok. I wish I had had more time to practice.
3. I applied for a full-time church job in a Chicago suburb. I must be nuts to even consider giving up tenure at a university position.
4. I HEARD FROM MY GERMAN MAN TODAY! First time he has communicated directly. Usually I get email from his secretary. I'll be going over to work right after my plane lands on Friday.
5. I will have jet lag and be SOUND asleep by 3pm!
6. My secretary got new carpet on Monday and the fumes have more punch than a heavy weight boxer. I was at the office until midnight on Monday and put in a 12 hour day on Tuesday. I am paying for it tonight. HORRIBLE headache, can't breathe, etc.
7. I had a nose bleed this morning as I was driving on a winding road. It was interesting to try to stop it, rummage around for a Dairy Queen napkin and drive on the curvy road all at the same time! I had so much tissue stuck to my face that I looked like a teenaged boy learning to shave! Hate this dry weather!

1. I haven't posted in this thread in about 6 years.
2. I have only one thing to talk about, and I thank you all in advance for your indulgence.
3. The newest member of my family was delivered today at noon.
4. It is a 7-foot Bluthner concert grand piano (satin black finish) and it is magnificent.
5. It is one huge hunk of a piano and is taking up my entire living room. This morning my living room was normal size and now it is a piano closet.
6. Bluthners are cool... they're German, and way back when, one was purchased for the Hindenberg blimp thingy but was destroyed when the blimp went down.
7. This afternoon I left my baby alone for just a minute and I heard a loud crash coming from my living room. I ran downstairs faster than I've ever moved in my life, and when I skidded around the corner I saw my butthead cat, Bucky, running as fast as he could in the opposite direction from my piano. Not sure what exactly he did but I have a pretty good idea, because when I'd left the room the fallboard (the thing that covers the keyboard) was up and now it was down.
7.1 Oops I only have to do 8.
7.2 My living room is now barricaded.
7.3 I don't believe in declawing cats but I'm going to check into having his front legs removed.
7.4 At first I couldn't play ANYTHING on it but now after playing my baby for hours I could possibly pass as a semi-decent lounge lizard. It feels like it plays itself and pulls me along for the ride.
7.5 Wow. I'm motivated to work really hard to do this thing justice.
7.6 Sorry for boring y'all.
7.7 I'm excited.
7.8 I'm on the Bluthner diet. Don't care about food when I'm playing it.
7.9 Anybody want to buy a heavily-used TIVO?
8 Guess I'm done. Thanks for listening.

8.5 Fanny! I listened to you and I just knew that once you laid your long piano fingers on the keys and started playing, the piano would own you!! Congratulations on your magnificent piano!! (All three of my kidlets took 10-12 years of piano each and they all play and my hope for them is to have a piano such as yours one day!!) And hey Fanny!...a lot of us posted to you in the Right Now thread when you posted to us about your anxiety over the delivery of your new piano....go take a look!!

1. I went and got a haircut yesterday. I HATE it. It looks like I have a helmet. I showed the girls two different pictures in the books they had there and she never asked what I wanted, hardly looked at the pictures...now I have a helmet! The top part is longer and not blended at all with the back, which is shorter and layered, but not as short as I like it. I look like I'm wearing a mop with a helmet.

2. She's working there all day today at their Neenah location where I went, so I called the Green Bay one and I'm going in at 2:00 so someone there can fix it.

3. I'll let you all know how that goes. Ugh. I hate getting my hair cut. I'm not much of a small talk person.

4. Our snow is pretty much all gone thanks to the rain, and the birds are out and chipring away.

5. I spend $50 the other day on new plants and pots, and I repotted a bunch and planted the new ones. It looks like a jungle over by the window.

6. I haven't posted any facts in here in a long time. Well, about a week anyway.

7. This week has been flying by. I am looking forward to this weekend. My cousin and a few friends are doing a girls night out Saturday. Not sure what we're doing but I bet we'll have fun.

8. I'm watching her little Simon the weekend after because she's going to Mexico for the weekend. I wish I was going somewhere. Simon has learned a new trick. He's a very fast learner. he can do "Dead Dog" now.

9. I bought frozen food for my fish and it's really disgusting when it thaws. They love it though. Brine shrimp. Yum!

1. Right now I am ROFL after reading Fanny's post. Especially the part about kitty's front legs. Glad you got the baby of your dreams!

2. Thanks Denecee and good luck with your friend and the trip to Oakland.

3. Thanks Eggie, and It sounds like your DH is in for a great birthday.

4. Thanks Jackie and your baby Melodie is beautiful. Grandbabies are the best!!

5. Thanks Rosie and Jewels and Schoolmarm!

6. Yes Auntie Urgrace, life is grand. Congrats to you and your little sis.

7. Kaili, good luck on your hair and have a great weekend.

8. My sons are taking me to dinner tonight! First time in forever.

9. I am at work and sitting underneath balloons, crepe paper and tinsel. They really decorated well!

10. Co-workers also brought me flowers and 4 baby picture frames. I'm enjoying this.

Congratulations Granny Cjr, new babies are so much fun!

1. After keeping both kids home sick yesterday with colds, I am sending them to school today even though neither one of them feels great. They failed the fever test (if you're running a fever you stay home, if you're not you go to school.) Unfortunately, Dakota has the asthma cough going, and I had to give her her albueterol cough syrup which means she'll be a handful in class today. Luckily, I will be there so I can try to keep her from going wild, lol.

2. (Beat to 1!) We have little league opening ceremonies Saturday. That means that the kids will start playing games next Saturday. I fear dad is going to miss most of them because he has to work, so I'm going to have to tape the games for him to watch later.
