It's time for a nap.

I think I'm going to turn on some jazz, grab a book and go to sleep this evening. The weather is back to moody gray and I feel like I have put in an entire day and then some. On days like this I need a 20 foot stone fireplace in my family room. Of course the family room needs to be a little bit bigger. :)

Swine flu?

My son, Nat got really sick Thursday afternoon. He seems better now, but so far Little A, Max, I and now my husband have all been sick and we're wondering if it has anything to do with this. We find it weird that there have been no cases reported in Oregon or Washington, with the number of people who go back and forth to Cali and Mexico on a regular basis. It seems to have run most of its course through the weekend, but if anybody has any new problems, we'll be at the doctor's office. Wasn't my flu shot supposed to prevent junk like this?

Today's Chuckle

On marriage:

If a wife says, "I have nothing to wear," it means "I have nothing new."
If a husband says, "I have nothing to wear," it means "I have nothing clean."

My son thinks he is slick

My oldest suddenly wants to be transferred into a particular creative writing class. I asked him if there was any reason he wanted to be in this class. He told me that he wants to be a better writer. Al has always been a lazy writer. Good speller, awesome vocabulary, but lazy as the day is long. NOW he wants a writing class? I asked him if he had friends in the class and he said no. I'm still not buying it. I don't know why he is over here trying to play with me when he knows I'm going to be all in his business. Strike that. He doesn't have any business. Shoot.
