What is it about illnesses and Friday afternoons? and other ramblings for the day....

Does anyone else have the problem that you only get sick after the doctor's office is closed? Well, P started getting what I thought was his first cold on Friday ... at 4pm. He kept getting worse and last night about 2am started a croupy cough. At 5:30am Darren brought him in to me to nurse and he (the little one) kept me awake until we all got up. I called the doctor's office and they were able to work him in.

It turns out that he likely just has a virus that has irritated his throat -- drainage, basically. It's great news! So now all we have to do is keep a humidifier in his face, put him in the bathroom when we shower, and keep him hydrated. We've tried giving him sweet potato (that was Saturday -- he would not keep it in his mouth at all), but I guess we will go for apple as our next food to try so that we can try apple juice. Oh -- and he is only 12.45 pounds -- which is the same as he weighed about three weeks ago. SIGH! Mommy is also still trying to get her weight or at least stabilize it. Today I was 100.4 pounds with shoes on and thicker pants. DOUBLE SIGH.

I tried again today (third time is the charm, right???) to order our annual photobook through Snapfish. I have a 2005 and a 2006 one. This was the 2007 one. I've tried to order it twice now and both times they have cancelled the order because of an apparently corrupt photo. Today I again deleted then uploaded the two that they said were corrupt. Keep your fingers crossed for this, will you?

One other thing to write about today... D has helped me in the decluttering. Yesterday we went through most of my Tupperware and put things in boxes... sell versus keep. I have a LOT of Tupperware that I want/need to get rid of. If there is something that you need, let me know! I'll make you a good deal on it!
