Laurel's got a nice cough again, poor thing, but says she feels fine. My real sign of how she feels is if she eats her breakfast or not, and she devoured it this morning. Good. Wish my coffee tasted good, but for some reason it tastes vile this am. Bleah. Today is supposed to be in the low 60s, or around average today. Just wish it was clear and sunny and not mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of showers. Maybe I'll do yardwork today anyways just to be outside.” 3:38:31 AM 2/26/09 “I was joking about the trees Div. I think there are actually quite a few trees in Nebraska. So, thunderstorms today. Ground still has snow so we will get a sloppy semi-frozen mess. I hate it when this happens. I swear, twenty more yards of top soil are coming to my back yard soon! Off to work...see ya.” 4:44:18 AM 2/26/09 “Coffee” 9:36:28 AM 2/26/09 “ok..ok...I'm up.... ...TODAY IS MY LAST DAY!!!...I get next week offfff!!! ...coffees almost finished.... ...ya'll have a GREAT day!!!!” 2:55:39 AM 2/27/09 “I'm trying a different coffee today. It's half the price of what I usually drink, but not bad. It has a strange peachy fruity note to it though. It's Folgerss "light roast breakfast blend." It does make me sweat very quickly, though.” 3:44:27 AM 2/27/09 “Good morning! I'm drinking coffee this morning too. I should be buzzing around here momentarily. My favorite (considering taste, price and fair trade status), is Kirkland's House Blend Aribica beans. They're roasted by starbucks and fair trade. 2 pounds runs $9.99. Tasty! More rain here. Made for great sleeping and a day where no one feels like getting out of bed, lol. Birch called last night. He made the commandant's list and top squad and got a medal of some sort! I'm so proud. =) He'll be home toooomorrrow. Alright, I'm going to try to be productive today and get this house and the brownie troop bank account all straightened up. If you see me here too much tell me to get to work!” 5:00:22 AM 2/27/09 “Good morning folks. I haven't been here for a long while. What's new?” 5:12:36 AM 2/27/09 “Hey LeSub! How you doing?” 5:52:51 AM 2/27/09 “Woooo Hooooo!!!!!! ...I am off for a week...wooo hooooo!!!!!” 2:08:33 PM 2/27/09 “Hi Craig! Good to see you here! Sass, tell Birch congrats for us! Sounds like things are going very well! E's got a nasty cold now. Coughing so hard that she kinda chokes once in a while. Yuck. I'm sure I'll be listening to make sure she's alive all night long. Cold here again - that low pressure front not only brought yucky weather, but it certainly brought yucky behavior to school. It was QUITE a day. Off to grade papers.....conferences are on Monday, I've got to get them all done!” 5:00:23 PM 2/27/09 “SG, that sounds like what Laurel has. I wasn't too willing to send her in to school today, because the cough and congestion were unaffected by medication, and she was up most of the night; not because of the cold but because her katten wanted in and out of her room again and again...it woke me up each time too. Tonight her door stays cracked open. We're expecting 4 to 6 inches of snow Sunday, Woo Hoo! As long as it's not on Monday though-HPM has a big important interview (lasting 4 hours) with his new potential employer.” 6:03:01 PM 2/27/09 “first, I hope everyone gets better soon!!! Birch called last night. He made the commandant's list and top squad and got a medal of some sort! I'm so proud. =) He'll be home toooomorrrow. Sassafras 6:00:22 AM 2/27/09 sass I am so happy for you both :) major congrads to birch!!” 11:24:35 PM 2/27/09 “Sleepin' in today, eh? -23 this morning, but we're up to +3 at the moment, with an expected high of 22. About where it should be, but it was old quite some time ago. Heading south in a couple hours to visit my mother. We'll have a couple of beers to celebrate both our birthdays. Have the day of your choosing:)” 9:31:12 AM 2/28/09 “Happy Birthday Nimblefoot!” 9:33:52 AM 2/28/09 “Here's to good friends. Tonight is kinda special. The beer we pour must say something more, somehow.” 9:34:40 AM 2/28/09 “No selling girl scout cookies today. There's lots of rain and the wind is picking up. We have sufficient rain gear, but apparently the other families do not. Also, who wants to buy a wet box of girl scout cookies? We were going to sell next to the entrance of the Bi-Lo near here but there's not much of a covered area for us to set up in.” 9:48:10 AM 2/28/09 “We've got a whopping ¼-inch of snow forecast for Sunday night! Woooo Hoooo!!!” 10:12:58 AM 2/28/09 “Criminey, I kicked that much off my boots when I just came inside:)” 10:58:52 AM 2/28/09 “And we'll be cussing down here in August when it's 105°! (and then there's the 'warming' thing.... LOL)” 11:57:37 AM 2/28/09 “Updated forecast predicts a 1 to 3 inch accumulation, 80%. (which means we still *might* get a quarter-inch)” 4:51:29 AM 3/01/09 “Rain and more rain in s.e. NC.” 6:36:07 AM 3/01/09 “ok...I'm up...doing laundry....finished with coffee....no snow here...just COLD...35... ...hugs... ...Happy Birthday Nimble!!!” 8:08:13 AM 3/01/09 “No snow here, but the thumb of MI is getting some today. We've got sunny skies, they've lot lake effect snow. Just darned cold here - 18* for the high today. I want spring to arrive! E's feeling better after a really rough day yesterday. I think she'll be OK to go to daycare tomorrow. The amount of snot coming out of her is truly amazing. No more fever, though. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.” 9:23:38 AM 3/01/09 “The snot factor is remarkable, isn't it, SG? It is necessary to make them drink more when they have that much drainage though. Kids can dehydrate quickly from it, or so sayeth two of our pediatricians. Cold and sleeting here, but the ground is still warm enough to melt everything. I've watched the thermometer drop since sunrise, yikes. THe dogs I'm watching foe the weekend really didn't want to go outside at any time this morning, and I can't say I blame them. The great dane did stay at the fence and watch me drain the pond down a few inches though. The pond (partially above ground0 was overflowing quite a bit from all of the rain. We've had 1.64" so far, which I dig. We were heading towards drought conditions again. My neighbors will be driving home to this mess of a weather system as well. They're coming home from Orlando, and a comic convention there. I know I just want to stay in bed today; the low pressure system has my sinuses hurting, and I'm very sleepy despite coffee and other caffeine sources so far today. If I could make myself care enough to cook, I'd make tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, or a nice batch of vegetable stew, or chili. It's good weather for stuff like that.” 9:44:01 AM 3/01/09 “  This was how she looked yesterday morning. Now, she's running around and talking like there's nothing wrong (except she hasn't napped yet today). Oh, she can't decide on milk, water, or juice...or she just likes saying them all, over and over and over again!” 11:41:55 AM 3/01/09 “Our D.O says milk/dairy can make sinus issues worse. We switch over to all water and juice (OJ w/ Calcium is good) for nasty colds and such. Glad E is feeling better!” 11:53:09 AM 3/01/09 “Yeah, avoid milk during colds. There's no quicker way to make Laurel hurl during a cold than dairy products. Not even soy milk is safe.” 5:33:46 PM 3/01/09 “...good Morning!!!..I have the week off...wooohooooooo!!!! ...got up at my usual time....4am....made coffee & sat down to my planner to plan my summer & make gear lists..... ...hope everyone is feeling better.... ...hugs & have a great day!!!!” 4:26:00 AM 3/02/09 5:24:40 AM 3/02/09 “Good morning, we had just a dusting of snow and missed most of the storm. It's cold and only 19 degrees with wind. I went for day hikes Saturday and Sunday, my first hikes in 6 weeks. It felt great to get out in the woods again and I felt better than I thought I would.” 6:46:52 AM 3/02/09 “We got 6 to 7 inches of snow last night. HPM and Laurel built a few snowmen out in the yard, too. It's gorgeous outside but the glare is killing me. I wish my new sunglasses had a darker tint.” 9:44:41 AM 3/02/09 “Lol! We just had a major snowstorm (for this area) and yet today the pollen count is off the chart! Poor plants are going to get frozen solid tonight. It'll be 10 degrees.” 10:01:30 AM 3/02/09 “Some snow with this cold would be OK. No, nevermind, I'm done with the snow. 40 degrees would be OK with me. I have the biopsy tomorrow. Ug. I'm not looking forward to it. I am looking forward to having the house to myself for the afternoon, though. E peed on the potty 3x today. I realize this is a fluke, and a novelty at 18 months. But its exciting anyway. I saw her all of 10 minutes today since we had conferences at school tonight. I hate this week - it'll feel like it'll never end. Ug. Hope you all are well.” 5:23:56 PM 3/02/09 “ok...ok...I'm up...yes...on my day off....coffees brewing as I speak.... ...snow in Alabama!!!...but none here...they say it hasn't snowed for 15 yrs here... ...we go to see the surgeon today about Lee's dad....they are concidering removing the mass, tumor, part of his pancreas & 4 lymph nodes....we will see....they said it is a rough surgery...about 8 hours.... ..keep us in mind today!!! ...it sure is hard to do anything with a man underfoot all day...I only got a few things accomplished yesterday.... ...ok..I'm going to have some coffee then dry my hair....ya'll have a GREAT day!!!! ...lots of hugs...” 3:02:08 AM 3/03/09 “No biopsy - there are no nodules. I am very pleased I didn't have to go through this procedure, but incredibly frustrated and angry because I tried to have a discussion with my doc about the possibility of being nodule-free, and I was blown off by them. I hate the medical community right now. Div, I'll be thinking about you. Sounds like a terrible thing to face. E peed on the potty again today, so perhaps I do have to get my daycare lady on board with this potty training thing. She fed my daughter a PB&J and pop tarts for lunch yesterday. I'm SO not happy with daycare right now. I suppose I should go investigate the other daycare option today while I have the time.” 9:48:22 AM 3/03/09 “Early potty training sorta backfired with my daughter. We started at about 18 months, and things were going great until she pooped in the potty the first time. Grossed her out so bad she completely reverted to diapers, and we didn't get her out of them until she was almost 3.” 9:52:19 AM 3/03/09 “more snow yesterday, and a whole day off - the last storm was worse, but I'll take it.” 10:43:51 AM 3/03/09 “ROFL, Bitpusher!” 3:37:44 PM 3/03/09 “thanks, bit, I'll be sure not to let her poop on the potty for a while. LOL!” 4:55:19 PM 3/03/09 “my wife and I were all "Yay! you pooped in the potty, good girl!" and she was like, "Uck. I don't want to have to see it. Y'all can go back to cleaning me up."” 8:52:09 PM 3/03/09 “Morning everyone. I sort of slept, which is amazing since I'm catching Laurel's (yet another) cold. I sound like Lauren Bacall again, which HPM loves. ;) I heading to the home and patio show this morning, with my neighbor. We weren't going to go ($$$) but she scored some free tickets and vouchers from food vendors, so away we go. This is the show where I got my completely awesome and envy-worthy wood and abalone inlay koi mirror last spring. It's beautiful. Ugh. Time for another dose of emergenC.” 4:56:02 AM 3/04/09 “Dang, it's 5 degrees warmer at Yellowstone lake than it is in my own back yard. That ain't right.” 5:23:34 AM 3/04/09 “Smiley, glad you escaped the biopsy. Good news. Treebait, I think we might be warmer up here! 36° for a high today and higher each day this week. I'm loving it. The birds are starting to sing again.” 6:01:28 AM 3/04/09 “I don't want to go to work today. Monday 7-7, Tuesday, supposed biopsy, Wednesday, 7-7, with conferences Monday and Wednesday. I'm tired of being nice to people! Hopefully my "fun" lesson plan actually is fun. If not, we'll play silent ball for an hour. Warming up here, 45 today, 60 tomorrow. I'm spending my day off shopping at the outlets. I'm excited about that. Ok, time to go. Have a good day.” 3:38:00 AM 3/05/09 “I'm up, and don't want to be. Laurel keeps bringing the crappiest cold viruses home from school. She's almost over hers, and now I have it. I didn't sleep last night because I couldn't breathe, had 2 cats fighting over who got to sleep on my head, and HPM's tossing and turning because he's stressing himself out over an interview for a job today. Oh yeah, my mom's coming here today, at some unknown time. My dad may be up here today too, or maybe tomorrow. We don't know. Damn straight I'm sharing the cold virus with them. >:)” 5:05:55 AM 3/05/09 “I've got today off too. I have a cold. Can't work with sick people when you're sick. So, no paycheck and no work. I don't even care. I feel good except for the constant sneezing and coughing so I plan to enjoy what is going to be a beautiful, partly sunny 50° day. Hello garden, here I come!” 5:07:55 AM 3/05/09 “...good morning!!!....I love not working..BUT..I don't seem to be very productive!!!....Lee works nights & sleeps days & is a light sleeper....he even complains about my typing on the computer...sheesh... ...but..I am enjoying my week off.... hugs to all...” 7:13:56 AM 3/05/09 “...good morning!!!!!is it Friday already?????? ...going to Dauphin Island today with my camera!!!...maybe I'll see a dolphin!!!! ...77 degree for a high today...wooo hoooo!!! ...I wore flip flops yesterday...I love when it gets warm enough to wear them...I hate shoes...” 5:38:58 AM 3/06/09 “64° for a high today! WOOT! My cold has progressed to a pounding head and stuffed ears. Sigh. sniffle.” 5:49:40 AM 3/06/09 “this seems to be tough year for sickness...I am still having bronchitis problems... ...Sass...hope ya get to feeling better soon!!!” 5:57:23 AM 3/06/09 Jump to Page << prev
