Doug just casually commented that my computer might not work again after being moved, taken apart, cleaned and put back together. Rats. Sarah is going to need another day at home, so no school tomorrow for her. Tommy starts riding the bus again. The bus has never been a very good experience for Tommy and […]

I was going through e-mail withdrawal and my computer looks like it’s going to be disassembled for a good bit of time so I’m borrowing Doug’s PC. Hard to do because I don’t like his keyboard and don’t know his OS. Expect typos. The computer move has begun. It is part upstairs, part downstairs and […]

Going offline to start moving my computer upstairs. I’ll blog when it gets back online. Cross your fingers that this won’t take days.

Gloomy Monday morning here. Children playing quietly. I really need my computer upstairs so I can watch them while I type on some projects I need to work on. Free speech or vandalism?

Laundry caught up for a little while. Sarah’s fever stays down as long as I convince her to take Tylenol every 3-4 hours. Not an easy task. Tommy sleeping and snoring louder than I’ve ever heard from him. Amy asleep in Noah’s room. Noah giggling at cartoons in our bed. Doug working on the fire. […]

The rain turned back to snow and my computer isn’t going to get moved anytime soon. At least Arrested Development is on tonight.

With the snow now covering the grass, Noah is suddenly completely recovered from his cold and spent time playing with a friend. This is okay with us because it means we can put Amy’s port-a-crib in Noah’s room while Sarah is sick. The snow has had a healing effect on Sarah also and she is […]

Sarah still sleeping. Tommy and Noah busily doing chores since I offered a quarter per chore (something I rarely do). Doug hopping from the computer to a chore and back to the computer. The rain has turned to snow! We are all crossing our fingers for some accumulation.

Tommy is getting testy. Noah has a new haircut and is quite jolly. Sarah is in her bed looking and feeling very ill. She is running a fever and says she has the “worst stomach ache ever”. Doug has had too much caffeine today.

Doug slept in this morning while I played with Amy. I went back to bed two hours later thinking he’d be ready to wake up. He wasn’t right away but did eventually. My mother called to say that Noah seems to have a bad cold while Sarah has a stomach virus. Noah has had the […]
