The House of the Rising Snot

Listening to: nothing, enjoying the silence
Reading: The Probable Future by Alice Hoffman (lots of imagery, much more complicated that what I've been reading lately. Kind of a challenging read!)

So, don't you just love how I begin almost every entry with "So,"??? As if I'm continuing an ongoing conversation or something. So, ;) I forgot to mention that Tony started feeling icky on Monday and went to the doctor on Tuesday. You know he had to feel like crap to actually go to the doctor. He has a respiratory infection and has been taking meds. He's feeling better, but guess who's sick now? You are correct - Cameron. He started with the sneezing and runny nose yesterday evening. He had a crap night, waking up crying several times. He sounded so congested, but he put himself back to sleep on his own, until like 4:30, when he sounded so pathetic that I just brought him into bed with us. He'd sleep a bit, cry a bit, sleep, cry, snore, whine...etc. At least one of the people in our bed got some sporadic sleep! Needless to say, I'm exhausted! His noser is like a faucet and he's sneezed a million times today already. And it's projectile snot sneezing that uses up a whole tissue each time. I feel horrible for the poor kid. I just hope he doesn't have what Tony has, otherwise we'll end up at the doctor's office.

We have/had New Year's Eve plans, but may not be able to go now because of the sickos. My fingers are crossed that I don't join the ranks of The Snot Crew. My immune system is usually crap, but this time I seem to be holding up well! Knock on wood.

Man, I really want some Mexican food. Something spicy and cheesy. I am starting back on Weight Watchers Monday morning with my friend Katy. So I guess I need to get my cheesy Mexican in sometime this weekend. WW isn't dramatic or anything, just watching your portion sizes, so I think it will be ok for trying to conceive or actually being pregnant. If that were to happen. It's odd. I REEEEAAAALLLYYY want to be preggo, but on the other hand I REEEAAALLLYYYY want to not be a lardass anymore. Maybe I can do both? You know, get a big stomach, but lose the flab elsewhere? The key, I think, it giving up the Coke. Yes, even Caffeine Free Coke. I can't do diet, that's just ick. Second, I need to curb my chocolate obsession. It's totally gotten out of control. And FYI, I've had 1/2 of a caffeine free Coke and several M&Ms so far today. Typical.

My goal today is to do 4 loads of laundry. I've yet to start the first load. Shit, I still need to fold towels from last night! Oh well. Guess I should get off here and dive into the dirty clothes! Figuratively, of course. Only Cam likes to wallow in dirty clothes. Well, and the dogs - they like that too.
