Queen of Rambles

I’ve been sick so all I have to report is A) I produce snot, B) I have vivid fever dreams and C) Being jumped on by a 35 pound kid makes me extremely grouchy.
Also, it is my six year anniversary! Happy anniversary, honey! I’ll try not to get my bodily fluids on [...]

Time to ask the internets for advice.
Assuming Mike can get a week off in August *cross fingers and toes*, we’d like to do a road trip someplace within six hours of here. Our main goal would be relaxation. We wouldn’t want a single thing that would cause us stress. We would also [...]

I have a big fever. I’m loopy and sad and in pain and laughing. I just deleted this original entry because I couldn’t copy and paste with keyboard shortcuts. Duh.
Erik has a fever blister the size of Montana on his lip. He’s already popped it, but it still looks nasty. I’ve [...]

Blargh. Well, the pink eye went away but then a fever hit. We knew something was wrong when the child fell asleep at 4 pm. Two hours later and the fever was up to 101. Whoo-hooo!
He freaked us out by getting up in middle of his nap and running around in [...]

No post last night. I was having too much fun using the picture function on Wii to make some very . . . fruity. . . pictures of Shaun. Too bad I have no idea how to save them because I know a few of you would enjoy them. Of course, I [...]

Come Friday, you’re going to have to roll me out the door of this house. Erik is still sick, which means I don’t get to go to the gym. I was hoping he would feel up to his gym class tonight, but he currently has a fever and a cough so I guess [...]

We are supposed to be in Ohio with friends, hanging out and having fun. Possibly getting a little tipsy. Probably telling dirty jokes. Certainly enjoying ourselves.
Instead we are home. Not only are we home, which we knew about in advance, but we are quarantined. If the swine flu doesn’t get [...]

I spent several hours out in the sun today. Whew. It’s a tough life, but someone has to do it. I’m exhausted from all the lolling.
I sprayed Erik down with sunscreen then let him loose in the sand pit with his buddies. He rolled around and ended up looking like a [...]

You people would not believe what I did today. I spent THREE HOURS cleaning my house. I don’t clean. Much. I hate cleaning. I sometimes spend 15 minutes decluttering, but I never do a deep clean.
Mike has been out of town and stressed out, so I figured it would be [...]

I’m just about to die from tiredness. I’m single parenting and Erik doesn’t like it. He took forever to fall settle in and fall asleep. He about had a breakdown because I wouldn’t let him lick my tongue. Freak.
We had a good time with our friends, but now they are off to [...]
