Fever. Illness. Drama.
Friday Nate woke up with a fever: 101.6. I called the day care to let them know neither one of us would be in, and made a doctor's appointment. Normally, I wouldn't bother; he's 18 months old this week, and a low fever is hardly something to get worked up about on the first day.

Paid $5.00 each for three training modules through PSU's "Better Kid Care" professional development course. Completion of each course requires me to view online videos of 35-50 minutes in length. The videos are accessible via RealPlayer only.

drunk & happy
It's 4:48pm.
I'm buzzed.

I SHOULD be writing up those 5 book reviews. After all, Steve's working late tonight (gone to a conference) and Nate's exhausted, fast asleep...
But what am I doing?
