Happy Birthday Diana!!!! http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1667025
Walker woke up at 3 a.m. with a fever.
By the time the motrin kicked in, he woke up again at 4 a.m. announcing that Santa had been here and there were presents under the tree. 
I convinced him to go back to bed and he woke us up at 6:30. Even Cameron didn't moan and groan getting up to see what all was left for them. No disappointments this morning 
. Walker is playing Guitar Hero and Cameron is playing a new playstation game. They are anxious to try out all the other games they received which will keep them busy the rest of the day. Christmas Day has been spent at home for many years, so we're here to enjoy and relax. Gary & I will made a tray of lasagna in a while and we'll have an early dinner. We again watched It's a Wonderful Life last night. How on earth can we have seen this same movie all these years and still get teary eyed at the end?
It's our Christmas Eve tradition to suffer through it each year. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their Christmas Day!

Happy Belated 29th
B-day, Diana!Happy Saturday everyone!!! 
It's a long weekend for me. No daycare kids until Wednesday. My hopes are to finish my Thanksgiving cruise scrapbook. Tuesday we're heading downtown to one of the museums which has a Star Wars special exhibit. Gary took the kids the other day but it was very crowded so they didn't stick around. I'm hoping that it's not as busy on Tuesday, as I'm not a fan of big crowds.
We'll be home on NYE night. Even with an invite to spend the night at friends, it's not worth the scare factor of driving home. Chances are that at least one of us won't make it until midnight anyway.

Well my night really started last evening. Coleen and I did a little shoppping yesterday. 75% off Christmas stuff etc. So we were on the way home with one stop to go when the SNOW started. And started with a vengance.Then an ambulance call came in. SO we stopped at the station and made a few decisions on stuff then settled in for an evening of football.
That only lasted a little while and the eyelids got heavy. First on me then on my sweetie. So we went to bed. EARLY but we saw in the New Year in Australia Lights out and 12 min later PAGER........ so out into the now BLIZZARD like conditions. For a car that had been in an accident 4 hrs earlier.
Back home.
73 min later (00:18 January 01,2008 HAPPY NEW YEAR) Pager.............Psych pt threatening suicide Back road.........blowing snow...........two sheriffs cars stuck in the middle of the road. Drive my Avalanche in front of ambulance to break drifts. Long story. She wanted to go to town and family wouldnt take her DUH SO we managed to get that mess straightend out and took her to the hospital Back in bed at 01:52
02:56 PAGER (goes flying across room) House fire........ Back out into the BLIZZARD 45 mph wind, snow blowing, single digit wind chills, unplowed roads, 12 miles from our station, lack of responders due to the same reasons. Spent the entire time out in the weather. I was frikken FROZEN, as were all our guys and gals. By the time cleanup was done it was 11:23 Ireached for my coat to leave and
PAGER.......... Elderly pt with chest pain BACK goes Squid out into the weather
MEANWHILE back at hacienda McCabe, Coleen, who has been woken up by the pager multiple times. Finally stayed up at 6:30 doing dishes laundry,then going out into the blizzard, shoveled the driveway,dug out and fed our Snow Dog (he loves this stuff), dug out the NEIGHBORS driveway and made homade bread and soup.
At last Squid returns HOME, warm shower, hot coffee, fresh bread and soup. and then a couple short naps for both of us.
Then back into the weather to shovel drive and dog kennel and get him fed again.
We are still having snow showers and blowing winds/drifting snow
Not sure that I am liking 2008 so far.

Happy New Year All!
Not as eventful, thankfully, as your evening Steve, but we had our own emergency this evening.
What a way to start the new year with a trip to the ER to see whether our youngest needed to be stitched up or not.
We spent a wonderful day downtown at the Museum of Science & Industry. On the way home, we decided to go to a local restaurant and as we passed where Cameron's friend's mother works at a Treatment Center in Schaumburg, I made the comment that we should stop in for a visit as her van was parked in the parking lot. Little did I know that within an hour or so, we'd be there as patients.
We had a great dinner out and as we were leaving, Walker put his coat on and then went to put up the hood. Of course, he couldn't do it like anyone else and use his hands, he decided to do it his own way by flinging his head forward and having the hood go on moving his body. What he didn't realize was the wood chair that was smack in front of his face, so as he came forward, he smashed his face right into it.
Blood everywhere! Funniest part of that was there was a table of 4 men, sitting having dinner, and all the commotion at our table next to them didn't even stop their conversation a split second. I took Walker into the bathroom where they sent Gary to follow us. Still blood everywhere! We get a bag of ice and leave, still bleeding all the way home. I called our pediatrician who said we should take him in, as it was still bleeding and not only the inside of the lip, but the outside as well. It seemed as if he bite all the way from the inside of his lip to the outside.
So, to the Treatment we went after I called our friend to see who was working and whether they were competent or not or we would have gone to the big ER - and been there much longer.
Good news is that he didn't need any stitches. But he sure is a sight to be seen. His chin is scraped up, his lip is cut on the inside and outside and he has a fat lip which is huge. They put him on an antibiotic and said it could take up to 4 weeks to heal. Better news for him is he can have all the popsicles he can stomach.
I think we'll just start over the year tomorrow if this is a sign of things to come.
