Morning, all!
I read, but didn't quote - here are a few things that stuck out.
Slate, go to the doctor. Feel better.
Jodi & Mel & Dawn: I think my kids are starting to question, but nothing overt yet. But, my friend Tara with the girl twins whom my boys adore, also has an 11 year old who at least pretends he still believes and has never asked, so we may get more time - and he is VERY smart.

Perhaps he's so smart he knows not to say anything, but it works.

My kids keep saying, "well, Rudolph is real, right?" and I say, "Well, what do you think?"
JenV, hope you're feeling better today, though I know that your heart won't feel better, no matter what.
LL - that's crazy about the collections. Please tell me it's not PSNH... If I ever move...

Good luck!
Jen - sorry about the brother situation, but have a great day!
***********************************************
No idea what we're doing today. Grandma did well with our bowling outing yesterday, but Mom says she only likes to go out once a day, so, for example, if we wanted to go out to dinner tonight, we have to leave her here during the day. D & Woody might go skiing with the neighbors this afternoon only.
I need to shop some - my dad's birthday is next Monday, and they are not staying that long, so we need to hand it over ahead of time.
D leaves for Vero on Thursday, and I think my parents may go sometime around there - the weather here doesn't look great, though they should drive out of it fairly easily. I did frankly say to Mom that it would probably be best if they were gone by Sunday so that the boys and I can get at least one normal day before school starts back up. Of course, then we leave to go to the frickin' party the Friday after that, so "normal" won't last long.

Not that I'm bitter.
I need to exercise. I haven't even been able to be on the Fit since Thursday because of either the kids or the men wanting to watch TV rather than having the Wii on... Plus, I'm not sure I want to do it with an audience...

At any rate, I'm not doing great. Eating too much, no exercise since last Tuesday... I have my annual rescheduled (it was supposed to be the morning of the ice storm) in January, and I don't want to get yelled at. I lost 10 pounds after the appointment last year, but have gained it back.
Anyway...
I hope everyone has a great day, and I'll be back later. I need a shower, no matter what, if I'm not exercising.
