the latest

so here's the rundown...

i have a sinus infection that is kicking my a*s.

the au pair is here and she is everything we hoped for and more. seriously. should have done this three years ago - i might still be sane...

we all got flu shots yesterday and my arm really hurts, dammit.

smith got bit at school by a little girl in his class. broke the skin. her mom called me and was mortified. i told her to lighten up. this is nothing in the scheme of things. (i had already called my ped - she said he was up to date on his shots and would live.)

smith threw a brick at sam's head and she has a nasty blueish-green bump on her forehead. the resulting bruise has taken a downward direction and she looks like she has a black eye. (you can see why the bite didn't rattle me so much.)

savvy has an IQ higher than mine. just got the test results. raw scores and all - but still - i see this as a real problem. and you can bet your sweet patootie i will NOT be telling her this.

in the process of negotiating an offer on our house that i seriously doubt will go through.

going to atlanta for a week in november for work. hope we aren't moving then...

that's all i got.

you?

Thanks for filling us in, I'm glad that your au-pair is working out for your family. Good luck with the bumps, bites and bruises. It seems when they get older, like mine, most of the owies and hurts are on the inside. Like you said, nothing in the sceme of things. I guess that could go for us grown ups too!
Hope you feel better soon!
Hugs,
W.

Will has been bitten over a dozen times already. Nothing that has broken the skin, but he's got these cool little tattoo's on his forearms.
I know that kids get bit and eventually, he'll be the biter, not the bitee. But MAN! I wish those other kids would stop gnawing on my boy!

Cat, someone needs to have a nice sized carrot near by for when those biters just start to open their mouth and go in for the chew. You pop that carrot sidways into their suprised little mouths and say, the only thing that belongs in your mouth is food or a toothbrush! Their eyes are usually bigger round then they can open their mouths at that point.
Good luck!
