Bleaugh.

It's not that I'm squeamish, it's just that I really thought that when my youngest was 9, I would be past scrubbing vomit OFF OF THE WALLS.


Yeesh.


So, Abbie's....a bit under the weather.  I went to work, and Josh worked from home, since there was no school.  I thought that it would be a one day thing, but Abbie was just sick again a minute ago (no walls this time, thank goodness) so she will be staying home tomorrow, too.


She had her birthday party at Emperor's Palace, like Grant.  It was fun, and my mom even got to come to it!  She spent her gift cards this weekend at Barnes and Noble and V-Stock. 


I finally own a DVD of Stranger Than Fiction.  Yay for small victories.  We also own the 1971 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.


I got 10 books for Christmas.  I feel all warm inside... The one I'm on right now is called The Ballad of Sad Café, and Other Stories.  So far, pretty sad stuff.  That's two sad books out of 10 so far.  And one dystopian adventure, and one slightly amusing ghost story.  Have I really read 4 of them already?  Maybe I should pace myself...


I love my job.  They love me back.  I had my first review, and they told me that I am getting a raise.  I'm shocked, because I assumed that hiring another employee after me meant that my raise was no longer in the budget.  I am also salary now.  And I got fussed for not taking lunch breaks.


Grant got his hair cut the other day, and it is a nice cut.....but it is not at all what we asked for.  Getting a little sick of that place.  Might be shopping for new hair people.


The house was taken off the market, and will soon be back, but we haven't done any improvements yet.  I'm starting to feel the pressure, but my attempts to speed things up haven't worked.  At all.


I have felt a little rushed, for a very long time.  My calendar on the wall still says June.


Miss all my friends.  Maybe this spring I will finally get that picnic I've been wanting to have.


Had all sorts of things to talk about, but I was up most of the night with Sickie.  I'm thinking of an early bed time today....
