Reasons Why

Well amigos, there's been a bit of fun at the ol' homestead lately. Fun bullet style points for now, exciting expounding later. mmmmmmmmmK? Super.

• T got sick, a slightly major cold where he got a temp of at least 102. I couldn't get any more out of that one, because that's when he didn't want the thermometer in his mouth anymore. Tylenol helped him out and got the ol' fever down and he started to feel better. Though the cough just went away a day or so ago. That fever was almost two weeks ago.


• My wife then got really sick. And is now on a diet of Popsicles, plain pasta noodles, and fun white rice. Also vicodin, prilosec, and pepcid. Surgery hopefully to come soon.


• My little E got sick from her big brother. Her's didn't have the fever quite as bad, but she doesn't want to sleep through the night (or couldn't) so I'd been waking up at around 12:30 to 2 in the a.m. to tend to her, and getting back to sleep finally at around 4 or so.


• She will mostly call for me from her crib. So I'll hear faint little "Daaaaaaddy"'s from down the hall. Then if I don't come right away, she cries until she can't breathe. So that's fun.


• I managed to get a hold of the cold and now am semi-stuffed up and not altogether 100%.


• We're selling my wife's old car this weekend. It's been about 2 years in the making but we have the buyer and they're coming over Saturday to get it. Hello cash!


• You remember that we signed up T for t-ball? Well, guess who's the manager...yup, me. So I get to run the team of 5 year olds. Honestly, I'm not sure what I've gotten myself into, but I thought it would be fun. I'll let you know how that prediction was in about 4 months.


• I found out that I'm not registered for either party. Probably because when I registered, Clinton had been sleeping with everybody and I wasn't a big fan of a president who would be impeached, (good luck to the wife), and also because Norm McDonald was doing his impeccable impressions of Bob Dole on SNL. I didn't know this before Super Tuesday. So I didn't get to vote for who I wanted. And so as not to bring to much politics into this. I'm not Backing Barack, nor am I Hocking Hillary. I believe it was said best in 30 Rock. "I'll say I'm supporting Obama all the way, but I'll secretly vote for McCain."


• I don't have another one really, but I'd already added the code for this list item and didn't want to delete it.
  

Now all these will be expanded upon if I feel like it later. But until then, I'm hoping things will start flowing better for the clan. I'm having a team meeting for my t-ball parents on Saturday afternoon and hopefully we'll finally get to see a surgeon for my wife on Monday. We were supposed to see her yesterday, but such is life in Kaiser. But I'm still looking forward to seeing Glen Phillips on the 17th. Hopefully I'll be able to go.
