Been a Bit Busy

Wow...has a whole week past since I last updated? Hard to believe. Hmmm, what's been going on you may ask? I think bullets are in order:

• Raining cats and dogs today. Dot was at my dad's house all week babysitting him, and now we've had the changing of the guard and I'm here for weekend duty.
• Last weekend was just OK, with my dad forgetting our plan of sitting shifts, and showing up at the hospital at all times. I chased him out sunday, after he was threatening to take my mom for a ride, b/c as he says, "she likes it". May be. Problem is the woman is in no shape to go for a Sunday drive. Oy.
• While at the hospital saturday and sunday, I was able to read two really good books by my friend, Jillian Hoffman. She's got three out. Order them up from amazon. Highly recommend them.
• We returned home on Sunday, to bare cupboards. Still haven't done any grocery shopping since the fridge incident. Thank god for take out/delivery.
• Here's a tip for all of you instant macaroni and cheese afficionados: The expiration date on the box? Um, they really, really mean it. I had some up on a top shelf forever. "Best if used by July 7, 2007". I figured what could go wrong with instant mac? One word: LOTS. Yuck. Grossest thing I've tried to make yet. It all went staight to the garbage.
• T got sick over the weekend, and then got progressively worse. Stayed home on Tuesday and Wednesday. Doc said on tuesday no ear infection, just a virus. Fast forward a whole day and a half, and I get a call from the school on Thursday: T is complaining that her ear hurts. Huh? Quick visit to the after-hours doc revealed... you guessed it... a frickin' ear infection. She's downing meds twice a day.
• BTW, T-stats a whole 2 weeks before her 5th bday are: a little over 42 inches tall, and 34 pounds.
• By Thursday night, I was feeling like crap. She's infected me. Par for the course, right? So, I'm secretly happy to be over at the old 123 house. Hopefully I can get some rest.
• T has a soccar game on Saturday, that is, if its not raining. Stay tuned for some pics.
• That's it for now....
