Yikes, this is not the kind of night we needed tonight.  Megan threw up about an hour ago, and Emily has been threatening to do the same for the past half hour.  I think it's safe to say there cousin that's been sick the last few days is still contagious.

I don't think I ever realized how hard the parenting gig could be before I signed up for it.  ( Read more... )

Gah, my computer just reset itself when I hit the post button - blue screens of death do not give me a warm cozy feeling ( Read more... )

Work is really taking its toll on me right now, with at least 1 to 3 major projects per week through mid-august.  There's been a lot to say but no time.  Lots of stress, not a lot of sleep to boot.

We've had some trouble with the construction of the house, and there's a chance that the contract may fall through.

E turned one year old.  There are ( Read more... )

This is what the new house looks like so far.

I haven't updated on how the girls have been doing recently, but a few things have stuck out over the last few weeks that I'd be neglectful not to mention.

First of all, Megan is now singing "I like to move it move it!" at totally random moments pretty much every day now.  I'd like to blame Reel to Real for this...well, for it ever being made, that ( Read more... )

We've Moved!
Now that project:Move-into-Rental is complete, we will soon be issuing change of address cards for our temporary location.  It appears that construction on our new house is finally starting to come together, but as yet all we have to show for it is a grid of trenches full of concrete.  Supposedly it will take 120-150 days before our ( Read more... )

Clearly, I'm livejournal inept.  Today would be the oh, I dunno....billionth time I've written a post up and then either hit the back button or alt-backspace.  Then I lose everything I've typed and there is much grumbling and frustration.  Which only hurts my poor friendslist reading my posts, as I now have much less desire to type everything out ( Read more... )

I think this is a sign that I need to delegate more work and not be so busy - I just logged into gmail for the first time in 3 days and discovered I'd missed a very important email ( Read more... )

Dad's home and sleeping.  He told them he would go crazy if they didn't let him out.  There was much rejoicing tonight.

Last night my Dad spiked a fever and they found fluid in his lungs.  So, he didn't get to come home today.  In fact, they reconnected all of his IVs and monitors again.  They were going to let him take a shower tonight but his heart rate crashed for a short period and because of that they said he couldn't get out of bed even for a slight break ( Read more... )
