I don't ask---I just say that I need to bring them in today----never had to wait...with the way stuff hits their asthma, I really can't afford to anyway.

Yeah, with asthma, things can go south fast.

So, here's the deal... I'm not taking him in. I don't think the risk of him being exposed to other things and them not being able to do anything at this point is worth it. If things get worse than a low grade fever and headache, I will. Don't worry, mommas...

Dawn, FWIW, that's exactly what I was going to post. Flu is widespread where I live and the medical offices are begging people not to come in if they don't absolutely need to because the places are teeming with germs at this point. I actually just made a phone appt. with my Dr. because I just have questions that don't require seeing my body to answer, lol! Hang in there.

OK and hope your pain goes soon

But if it works, I'll get 95% hearing back without having to wear a hearing aide. So probably worth it. Got a while anyway!

Souns promising but wow it's a long way away!

I'm just hoping it doesn't transform into more. He's perfectly happy being waited on and watching movies all day. He's playing legos, wearing a full Batman costume and watching Spiderman right now!

Evan had that a few weeks ago. Just a weird fever. It was done in 2 days, though.

Hi Mo!

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is one name for a large group of inherited vision disorders that causes progressive degeneration of the retina of the eyes. Peripheral (or side) vision gradually decreases and eventually is lost.

We gotta look out for our Focker babies, Dawn.

Dude, the half marathon is KILLER!! We were going to do the DLR one, but that's over 13 miles!!! Although, they do allow scooters.


Well, I did my time at the school. I was working with small groups of children, going over sight words, reading comprehension, etc. I now know why I didn't become a teacher. I swear I wanted to bop some of those kids in the head with a ruler!

I'm so sorry, hon. We're here when you need us.

In other good news my awful cold from the weekend is almost gone, I can breathe again which is a blessing.

Great job and I'm glad to hear the cold is going.

No idea, but I'd think it might be worth a call to a nurse!

Sounds like it would be worth it.

Hope he's better soon!

Hooray for a good week!

Sure...

************************************************
I had fun tennis this morning (and the pro tackled complaint woman last week, so it was actually FUN! )

Then I went to school, picked up my Book Fair planning kit that came in the mail from Scholastic, left the sign up sheets for the classrooms and copied notices for the teachers. Then I came home and double-checked the teacher list vs. last year's (I knew we had some movement...) and then I watched TV all afternoon.

I needed to go to Target, but truly did run out of time after all the school stuff, and now I don't know what to do - if I should wait until tomorrow or take the kids now... Sigh.

I have to do math triangles, so I've got to go! Glad most things seem to be looking up for folks - some random sickness and surgeries aside.

I know this is probably the last thing you want with all the school fundraisers etc but the Moms Panel has a code for free shipping on Garrett's popcorn it will run from 10/1 through 10/31. The code is GPSMOMS2009. I had some this past weekend and OMG it's delicious and the tins are soooooo cute. Anyway thought I'd share just incase

Thanks for the offer! We just got the fall fundraiser catalog home today. Anyone need silly gift stuff?

Thanks, V. Sometimes I start thinking I'm crazy when I'm not more worried. It's ugly at the pediatrician's office. I don't want to go sit in that sick room!

Uh, if running is a requirement for being on the Mom's panel, maybe they should throw my application out.

I hope so. Today's day 2 and his temp came back about noon.

Me too! I can do my kids, but I'm not a big fan of other kids.

Enjoy your homework, CE!

[HomeschoolMama]

I hope it's okay to mention here, but I'm thinking of renting some of my DVC points. Any thoughts or interest? Our home resort is BLT.

[TEminnie]

Dawn--you're right about the sickie germs in the Dr offices---it bothered both of us---BA covered herself in hand sanitizer!

....and for some reason everytime you post BLT, I get hungry....

T--RP sounds bad--sorry for him.

Jo--enjoying your EE pics! Got a little wet??


Fundraiser stuff---we have a Minks warehouse near here that sales all the catelog stuff for dirt cheap before Christmas--wrapping paper, mugs, candy.
Really good deals---but you realize how over priced it is.

[CelticBelle]

Hi! Sorry I've been MIA for a few days.

marc got sick last weekend, so he didnt go on his shift and was home for an unusual amount of time. A whole week! Before I always complained about him being gone, but i've gotten used to it, and like being alone. Since he was here I never concentrated on school work, and felt like procrastinating more. Yuk. So I have to play some catch up for physics and get crackin on learning my bird songs.

Marc did the half marathon and I think it's just crazy. But my aunt, cousin and I walked the 5K and it was really cool. Kind of relaxing even.

Kat- I'm glad things are looking up!

Oh and I found out that i'll be helping out the new traveling campaign for the parks in january. I dont know all the details yet, but I will of course tell you all when I find out.

I might be interested, when were you thinking about doing this?
