Sickies in the house!

I can not believe it! We have sickies in the house again!
Yesterday it was the big kid, moaning in bed with a fever of 100.3 - which apparently telling him where the tylenol was is an indication that I dont care that he has a fever and may be dying!
And then last night - got the little kid to bed and sat down in the quiet living room to watch a little tv and there it was, the kid, "Mom - i feel like someone punched me in the stomach and I have a headache"
Crap! the busiest week ahead as I prepare for the audit and the kid is sick. What to do, What to do?
So I handed him some gravol, cause i didnt want to be up all night cleaning up puke and headed him back to bed.
This morning? Still sick, and the big kid who is also still sick has gone to work. And there is no way I can stay home today. I guess he stays home with his aunt this morning and his dad will have to come home a bit early!
So tell me - where did this sudden onset illness come from and who do i complain to?

Crazy days!

Well - today was interesting - to say the very least!
The lost was found, and a crisis averted.
The cel phone gremlins hit and phones are misplaced, lost, stolen, reactivated and in the end I think it may all work out.
I received a lovely gift from an unexpected source, to thank me for helping out.
I chose the wrong line up at the bank and ended up standing in one place for more than 20 minutes!
Got home late and was offered a choice of chinese food or bbq burgers, chose burgers cause we had them and Phil said but I thought you would choose the chinese. So we had chinese! I have a great husband!
And now - we wait for the Idol result show!
It has been a crazy day!

What's New?

1. Brian got a hair cut - very radical - check out my facebook pic
2. Works seems to be getting crazier every day - not more files or anything - just crazy!
3. We are going on a field trip to Victoria and at the end of the day stealing our son away and staying the weekend
4. Mothers Day is coming - hint hint
5. Warren will be one
6. Brian will be 11
7. I am speaking this Saturday at a ladies brunch - and when I finished writing and practiced speaking I only had 6 minutes - thought i had WAY to much! LOL back to the writing
8. today I am going to Starbucks for the free coffee - it is earth day!

And now you have had a brief update of my life!

It's Tuesday - it must be Idol!

Ok - we watched the show and half way through the last performer (Adam) Phil turned to me and said - why bother - they should just give it all to him right now! What a talent that guy has. Really entertaining and an awesome voice.

I predict the results of this season will be Adam as Idol and Alison as runner up and then Danny.

What is your prediction for the top three?

American Idol Addiction

After talking about last night's show with the ladies at work, I have decided that maybe the addiction to the show is much wider spread than first thought.

Brian is working on a project at school on drugs and alcohol and I am wondering if I should suggest he switch topics to AI Addiction, and the dangers of becoming hooked.

Signs of an AI Addiction

1. you reschedule your children's music lessons and swimming lessons so you can be home Tuesday and Wednesday evenings in order to see both the performances and the results. Once that is done you try to work a schedule where all lessons are now on Saturdays together with sports practices.

2. you know the names of all the top 12 (13 this year) and their home towns

3. you form your own judging panel in your front room and argue with each other about the performances ( Paula and Simon style)

4. you know just who will be able to sing the "phone book" and who will be bringing the "artistry" to the stage each week

5. you find yourself referring to your children as "dawg"

6. every Wednesday morning and Thursday morning you gather around the coffee pot or water cooler and discuss the previous evenings show and do not even begin to work until everyone has given their opinions! - - or alternately your morning cannot fully begin until you have discussed the previous evening's show with at least 2 other people - in person or electronically.

If you can say "yes, I do that!" to any of the above you may be AI Addicted and it is time to find a support group. Now the difficulty with that is there are NO SUPPORT GROUPS!

So - if there is someone out there who WANTS to deal with their addictions - start a group. But I think it will be a very lonely group! I for one will not be joining, I will be revelling in my addiction and enjoying the rest of the season.

I will however need grief counselling when the season is over! Maybe we will need a group for that? Let me know!
