Let that appease the masses for now. *grinz*

Halloween, Pics, & Illnesses...

Brian has been putting me to shame here, suddenly picking up the pace and posting a bunch on his blog recently. I, on the other hand, have been quiet. Some of it lately, has been lack of time. Some of it lately has been that I've got a little boy in preschool and I think he keeps bringing me home "presents" in the form of the latest virus for me to try to battle with my medicine cabinet and orange juice. Moms aren't supposed to get sick though. Nevermind - I ended up having to have Brian stay home yet again today to help me get him to school while I hid under the covers and tried to let the antibiotics do their job. Grrr. Not what I wanted for Halloween this year.

I have tons of pictures I need to upload. Haven't gotten to that either. Most of my computer time has been being spent just keeping up with email and two web sites I'm working with. My paying client got hacked, and I've had to have the server wipe his account clean so I could start from scratch. Not once, but twice. The second time I had to convince them to do it - they wanted to just close his account on them! Arrgh. I'm NOT a script person - I use bundled stuff and leave the scripting to the pros - I'm a designer. So finding the problem is baffling and basically I'm going to have to switch programs. The other web site is for a non-for-profit organization I'm involved in, for parents, and while I designed the site and have it up and running, I still need to get some of the nitty-gritty stuff in at the back end of things. It just feels like I haven't got the time or energy for much anymore so this blog has been falling to the wayside as something I don't have any requirement to do. Sometimes it's all about prioritizing.

And then, there's the doctor's appointments. It's frustrating, as I still don't have a primary care physician to coordinate and make sense of everything for me. I had a new guy, but the overly-long waits in his office made me reconsider him. I can only deal with keeping the kids quiet and subdued in the waiting rooms for only so long. They get bored and antsy and then it grates on my nerves. By the time I actually get to SEE a doctor, I'm a wreck, my kids are obnoxious, and I just want to get the hell out of there. Not a productive way to start a doctor-patient relationship. I have the name of the next contestant, and have been assured that the wait there isn't so abominable. Ugh. The good news is that my "bloodwork" is fine. It's always fine. Geez, people - how many times do I have to tell everyone that my goddamned thyroid is fine? *rolls eyes*

Anyway, there are pictures coming and what-not when I have more time. Meanwhile, go check out Brian's Blog instead. LOL. His posting style is utterly different from mine, but at least he's posting. I'll try to post again soon. And have a Happy Halloween. Try not to eat ALL the candy at once... *guilty look*

Current Mood: busy

Loose Change...

It was brought to my attention a bit ago that I never got back in here to mention the results of the Penny Incident. In fact there's tons of stuff I could be blogging about, including a wedding we recently had the opportunity to go to. Pictures coming, as soon as I have time to sort them out. My little guy looks SO adorable in his little shirt, vest, and clip-on tie! And my darling daughter spent about half the time bent over, checking out her shiny little black shoes. And I was... um... sparkly. And in heels. I sorta did the girl thing for that weekend. Don't ask.

As for the penny? It safely arrived back in the world, slightly discolored, in a pile o' poop on September 24th. I have bagged and noted it for his baby book. Something else to add to his therapy bill, I'm sure.

More later. I've been both sick and swamped and I just can't seem to find time for much of anything lately...

EDIT - something is screwy with my blog and it won't let me input links or images or anything other than base text at the moment. There may be an upgrade forthcoming which may make the blog look a mess for a bit. Bear with me as I don't have a lot of time to really deal with it right now. Seems like web sites are needing attention all around me this week. Grrr.
