Dad & Daughter Day

With the truck running and inspected again, it was time to get some truck stuff done. First on the list was hauling all the old deck planks off to the dump. In addition I grabbed whatever old/treated lumber and some pallets I had laying around. No point in keeping all that crap in my yard […]

We Have a Winner!

Roseola This morning the red rash started to appear on her brow. By the end of the day it’s covered most of her body. Should be smooth sailing from this point. – b

Poor Lauren Lulu

She has a fever. High enough to call the Dr. It’s probably more teeth, but better safe than sorry. Coincidentally she had an ultrasound checkup appointment for her kidney yesterday.

Annoying

Grandpa volunteers to do night time kid duty, which means I should be able to get some sleep. Not so. I’m awake. Can’t sleep. Still sick, and I’m hungry. What the hell? – b

We Fell

Bad couple of weeks for us and gravity around here. While on vacation Lauren fell down 3 carpeted steps on her way to find Mommy. She’d been upstairs with me. Jen was downstairs, then Abigail went down, left the door open to the stairs and I went to the bathroom. Left to her own devices, […]
