Month: October 2002

This year, instead of cluttering this blog up with all my NaNoWriMo stuff, I started a special blog, just for that. The “Contest” begins on November 1st, so you slackers still have time to sign up. It’s not like anyone has an edge, we all start and end at the same time.

He’s really acting like normal. I remember getting strep as a kid and wishing I was dead. He’s downstairs, singing Christmas carols. He keeps trying to tell me he feels well enough to go visit grandma and grandpa. I told him he’s stuck with me until tomorrow. I’m stuck with me too. Of course, the minute you hear that your kid is contagious, you can think of a million things you just HAVE to do outside of the house. Well, I only have to wait another 8 hours before the contagious part is gone, I think. I’ll probably keep him home one extra day, just because I don’t want to take any chances with the other kids who go to his daycare. I mean, I’d expect the same consideration, right?

Other than that, it’s a lovely day, and I think I’ll bundle him up and send him outside for a little while. A little fresh air will probably do him good, right?

The Boy (TM) has strep.

You know things are bad when you and the the little sick boy are watching an Alvin and the Chipmunks halloween movie I TiVo’d, and you start thinking “God, they really made Dave [Seville] look really hot.”

Can someone explain to me why the stories listed on My Yahoo haven’t been updated since yesterday? I’m sure there are things occuring in the world. I hate to have to rely on someone else for my news headlines, but I’ve been waiting ALL MORNING for them to fix this. The most recently updated info is from 4am on 10/27. Ugh.
