Winter Blues

Winter is wearing on me a little bit. It hasn't snowed much--that fluffy, romantic type of snow that I love. It has been bitter cold, and the sky has been as gray as my header photo. BLAH.

James had a 24 hour tummy bug on Monday. That was not fun for the poor little guy.
Ella is teething, or something, PLEASE, let there be some reason for the constant crankiness.

James was fine yesterday, and then last night he got a fever. It seemed better this morning, until at lunch he announced he wasn't hungry, he was cold, and that he was going to go lay down on the couch. "What??" Yup. Temp was 101. (sigh). All I can do is medicate him and love him.


I am excited to be just loaded with new projects for Pioneer Network, the organization I am freelancing for. But fevers and crankpots don't bode well for conference calls, now do they.

Oh--or play dates. Sorry ladies, I'm canceling our play dates this week. I can't risk spreading whatever James has to you and your healthy families.

Now, on the other hand, Ella's not really sick, just earning her "Princess of Darkness" nickname. (I know, that is so terrible, and I am definitely headed to Mommy Hell for it). Any takers? Flannery, she could practically walk right over to your house!!!


Remember that nursery rhyme, "There was a little girl, she had a little curl . . .". But damn I love her!! Okay, I have to go, I gave her my cell phone to keep her quiet while I posted, and no doubt she has downloaded various things by now!

Oh, and I'll ask again. . . IS IT SPRING YET???!!!!!

Hope James feels better and NO one else catches it!!!

Poor James!!! Hope he gets better quick!

BTW - I don't see the whole POD thingy....she is sweet as pie when I see her. :)

Isn't it amazing the change in her from this photo and the one on the previous post. She's getting so big so fast!
