Julian stepped on the scale this morning. To show him the difference between his weight and mine, I did the same. Turns out I'm just about back down to three Jonathans. Note that these are Imperial Jonathans - I did not gain weight to go up to Metric Jonathans. I hadn't realized I'd lost more weight.

How strange.

Lollyphile is currently featuring Caffeinated Maple Bacon flavored lollipopsYou *know* you want some. Although Lori probably wants to wait until the puking and diarrhea has ended. Sorry, hon. I, personally, will have to enjoy them vicariously; unlike the maniacs over at Bacon Salt, Lollyphile is not a kosher-bacon-flavor-producing ( Read more... )

I suspect by the time my kids are old enough to understand what Alcoholics Anonymous is, there will be an organization for kids to sit at meetings and bitch about their parents. It'll be something like "Raised by Geeks Anonymous". Sam will be there, probably as a result of tonight ( Read more... )

For several months, the triplets have been at a stage where they want to be read to. This is much better than the previous (but sadly still ongoing) stage, "shredding books to make confetti to redecorate the house with". We have the remains of a once-decent collection of Boynton books, among others. One of those is one that is available both in ( Read more... )

I'm not in too much pain, despite two hours of shoveling. If I'd had to do it all myself, it would undoubtedly be too painful today.

During a couple of the attempts to determine if I could get the car out of the gap in the snow at the end of the driveway (the hardest shoveling was done by osewalrus, who got a gap dug where the snowplows had piled it ( Read more... )

Still could be better, although I'm glad it wasn't worse. Made it through last night & today, with the help of friends & family. Sheri dropped off food prior to Shabbos. The Nelkins dropped off a full meal, which of course lasted for two meals considering the quantity of food delivered and the number of mouths here. Karen's mom both dropped off ( Read more... )

As if this wasn't bad enough, the triplets decided that tonight was a night they didn't need to sleep. I can't put Julian to sleep until they're out. The sounds of them screaming and beating each other up tends to disrupt his bedtime routine ( Read more... )

Where, oh where, was Mr. Sandman last night? I only wanted him to gently apply his hammer of sleepiness across my skull sutures...

Darn it, I have several moods to apply. Why can't I say that I'm sleepy but up but drowsy but tired? Yeesh.

Good morning, y'all!

Last evening, Sam gleefully stepped across a small gap between the ottoman and the chair. He looked back at me and laughed, and it clearly meant "Look at me and what I can do!" I thought to myself, "That's one small step for Sam, but one giant leap for Samkind ( Read more... )

Pain. Take meds for pain. More pain. Take more meds for pain. Rebound headache? Take meds for pain, discover they don't do anything, go to bed. Sleep, then discover that the pain is strong enough to wake me up ( Read more... )
