Amy said the EXACT same thing . . . I told her not too PC in Black History Month!

(He did look like he should be on a bottle of syrup though . . .)

well, I am with Amy, and if it is not PC, then he should not have dressed up like a syrup lady. He looked so much better with it off.

Did that sound a little blunt? Sorry - weird day....

Good morning! DrHug's happy birthday today. He is home sleeping in. The bum! We "celebrated" Saturday night at dinner with DD and some friends. DD#1 likes to take Dad out to dinner for his B'day. He FIL b'day is only one day from his, so they take both Dads out. I get to tag along!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR HUG!!!!!!!!!

Carl's email to me this morning - he dropped Bella off this morning:

It was so cold they let everyone in the Oak street door. She wouldn't hold my hand or even let me walk with her, I had to walk behind her because she saw some of her friends. So I walk behind her and pretend I don't know her. If I do a good job and don't embarrass her I get a wave goodbye. The trains were delayed an hour this morning due to "mechanical difficulties". We froze waiting for the train, when it finally came I couldn't even get my T pass out of my bag my hands were so numb from the cold. Everybody was late because the T had problems everywhere, supposedly with switches. But the T made up for it by flashing on their signs in between delay updates "Sorry for the inconvenience"

I so relate to that! We went to a little show they all did and some of the parents would jump up an wave to thier kids and take pictures. Savannah looked at us like "if you do that, I will hurt you." Steve and I were very discreet in our waving.

Okay, I am absolutely freaking out and someone needs to talk me down....

Sarah has had off and on pain in her leg for the last few months. At first I thought it was growing pains but now (thanks to the power of Google) I am completely worrying myself into thinking it's bone cancer.

I have an appt with the doctor tomorrow. I need some good thoughts -- I don't know how parents with sick kids do it - I'd be a wreck. Jill is my hero right now!

Um, this is not very comforting, but I stink at calming people down about thier kids. I mean is there really anything anyone can say when you are worried like that? Its your kids. Good Luck!

 

[kimerinc]

Hannah went through the leg pain for quite a while. I thought growing pains, too... but DH had the same concerns that you have (and he does NOT get worked up about every little thing... we have to use the "mom" judgement call in the house, not the dad-doctor judgement call). All was well, though.

That's funny!!!! I have always thought that parents knew more than anyone else about thier kids... it's the sixth sense thing.... My cousin who is a trauma pediatrician gets the worst thoughts about her own condition, I think she knows to much. Maybe your DH just knows to many bad things that can happen.

 

[kimerinc]

Joy - more than likely it is just growing pains but you should probably still have it checked out. I have talked to a few parents here over the last few years whose kids had those growing pains as well and they all were concerned but everyone of them turned out to be fine. I think it is one of those situations were the vast majority of times it is fine so try to think of that instead of those google search results.

Thanks to all who are thinking about me. I am in quite a bit of pain today. My Dr. had already prescribed the 800mg of Ibuprofen for me to take every 8 hours. I have a meeting from 1-2 today and I may decide to go home after the meeting, take some pain pills and rest before DH and the kids get home.

DH has been all put out that he has had to deal with the kids all this time. He is really taking his frustration out on the kids and it is driving me crazy. He is really frustrated with me but he can't show it because he thinks that would make him the bad guy. I mean really who can be mad at the wife for breaking a rib and being in pain? Instead he can just be mad at the kids because they dare to ask him to get them a drink and interrupt something he was doing. I am really fed up with his attitude about it all. I know the kids are not perfect all the time but he is getting worked up over just normal kid behavior stuff and then he starts yelling at them. The whole thing is just making me mad and unfortunately there is no a whole lot I can do right now.

I know in our house, we lean alot on Nick, as the big brother, to take care of stuff for Sarah... he's really quite a helper with getting her a juice box, or setting up a DVD for her, etc... I know Nathan is a bit younger, but he can start learning how to help out when Mom and Dad are busy or tied up....

I'm sure Aaron doesn't mean to be annoyed, but changes in routine can be plain annoying I hope you are healed soon and your family can get back to routines again!

Happy Birthday Dennis!!! I hope you have a great day and tell your wife to bake you up a little apple dish from us!

OY! I'm reading these what ya bakin' for Dennis posts and it looks like I will need to leave work early now to get home in time to bake the man an apple pie!

Yeah, I guess you're trapped! But you were going to bake one anyway, weren't you!

 

[MrsMork]

Yeah, I guess you're trapped! But you were going to bake one anyway, weren't you!

I wasn't planning on it on a work night since I don't get home until almost 7 pm, but now I'm ridden with guilt. So, I'll take a couple of hours off.....I feel really sick....and bake him one.

 

[87Heel]

Don't forget about all of the virtual reality pies for all of us! They're much easier to make!

Well I was uncomfortable enough after my meeting that I decided to come home. Driving was painful. I may have to try to reposition my car seat so I can sit putting less pressure on the ribs. I took some stronger pain meds so hopefully with that and some more rest I will be ready to go back to work in the morning. My boss has told me I can take more time off if I need it but I feel guilty because really me sitting here or sitting there (as long as the pain is not too bad) is really the same. It is not going to heal any faster. I may just try to work some partial days this week so I can take stronger meds in the afternoon and get some more rest.

Angie, you are a good wife! I was thinking today about you two and how you are never going to be seperated again after 9/11.

Becka, Sleep is the most important thing. Pnemonia is a blood sucking exhausting thing and does not get better in 3 days. I realize I am telling this to a mom who thinks she should be better in 2 and will push until death. i just don't want to think you are failing in the "get better quick" plan.

Yes but the pneumonia is going away. It has been almost 2 weeks since I was diagnosed and last Thursday my lungs sounded pretty good. Right now it is really just the pain from the broken rib thing that is literally driving me crazy. I just hate not being able to move around like I need to. It is frustrating and unfortunately I have not had the best support from DH. I understand it is difficult for him but it is hard to have sympathy for someone when they are as crabby about it as he is. I have had to take care of the kids by myself as well before when he has been sick and you certainly didn't see me behaving like he has been. I tried my hardest to baby him and keep the kids alive at the same time. I guess I would just like the same consideration (although he really doesn't need to baby me) - just taking care of the kids without acting put out about it would be enough.

Happy Birthday Dr Hug!!


Becka, hope you feel better soon.

Joy, thoughts and prayers, please keep us posted.


Well, John's got hitting practice tonight, but I know it will be quick as it is freezing out. So I'll have time to get my cuties and straighten up a bit before he gets home.

I have to say, I can't believe my baby is 2....this weekend, she was so funny, she loved the face characters and was not too keen on the furs but not as scared as usual, she did ask to see Flick though, maybe he looks a bit less threatening? Who knows....

Amy called V on her cell yesterday because she was worried about her. They are fine and enjoyed the pirate party. John2 was allegedly in rare form in his CJS getup, and they got to ride Goofy's Barnstormer over and over, and over . . .

I was very worried too. I was at WDW for the weekend and the tornado reports were so bad. I was pretty sure that V's house was right in the path from what she had posted in the past. I am so glad to hear that she is ok. I called Brack on his cell and spoke to Annette because I happened to have his number from our mini-meet and asked if he had heard anything.

thanks for letting us know John!!!

Can anyone tell me why the trash collectors always throw the barrels down so they roll into the street?! Can't they throw it where you at least left them?

AMEN!!!!
