Monday, Monday

Since others are telling me that reading posts aren't boring... although I disagree looking back on mine the past few days... I will give the daily update sans camera.

Mario is producing snot... currently... minute by minute... more snot than you can shake a stick at.... the poor kids HATES to have his tiny- almost- non-existent-wonder -how- he -even breathes- nose wiped... he runs, then lays on the ground trying to flip over while I am wiping... I am using the soft "lotion" tissues and have even tried to be more sympathetic and used baby wipes, but the kid still acts like I am trying to kill him.... really, who likes snot running down their face? my kid.

To add insult to injury, he has his wellness appointment tonight at 5:30... both kids are supposed to get vaccinations... I called Jeff today at work at whits end saying that we are just going to wait... there is no way in h e-double hockey sticks that I am holding my son down while someone gives him shots while he is already ill.. no thanks.. not my idea of a good time. It can wait until next week.

Last night was nutty here, by the way. Thanks to the hurricanes (I think that this one is Ike's fault) our little tiny town was blown to bits. High winds ripped out many trees and knocked out power to much of the area causing schools to cancel or delay (neither of which for our school personally, but many neighboring ones). We were largely unscathed although it is a shock really since we live on a hill surrounded by weak- rooted scotch pines. Many branches, but no trees fell at our house... a few uprooted in the forest, but none close... Thank God.

Well, there it is... today in a nutshell. Not to exciting... lotta wind... lotta snot...not a lot of shower.
