25827. iiibbb - 1/2/2010 3:08:27 AM Makes me wish I hadn't thrown out that box of peanuts. 25828. judithathome - 1/4/2010 11:56:31 PM Ah well...Happy New Year and all that rot...we had about 50 people in and out of our New Year's Day party and I was on my feet for about 9 hours, total...later in the evening I started to get major charley-horses and have just today recovered...my new year's resolution is to walk more. ;-) 25829. judithathome - 1/7/2010 7:42:22 PM Hellllooooooo???
I guess everyone else resolved to drop the Mote from their routines?
25830. arkymalarky - 1/8/2010 6:39:20 AM I'm still looking in once a day at least, but I have no life irl, either. 25831. alistairConnor - 1/9/2010 10:52:13 AM helloooo... still thinking of you all! 25832. judithathome - 1/10/2010 1:02:20 AM Arky, are y'all freezing your asses off like we are? 25833. Ms. No - 1/10/2010 8:30:47 AM howdy all! Just busy as a little beaver and suffering from a horrendous cold that I don't have time to stop and baby.
This year....er, school year, not 2010, is kicking my butt, but I'm certainly learning a lot.
I do not love grading papers. 25834. Ms. No - 1/10/2010 8:51:56 AM Judith,
I don't know if you do the Dallas Musical season --- for some reason I'm thinking it's not really your cuppa in general. I'm not usually much of a musicals person myself, but I did just leave a review over in the Arts thread.
25835. iiibbb - 1/10/2010 8:26:05 PM We had the baby a few days ago. It's a boy. 9 lbs, natural childbirth.
So far so good except he hasn't pooped in a day and a half; even though he's nursing well. Hospital said this wasn't a concern yet, and we're seeing the pediatrician tomorrow anyway.
It's been great so far.
We named him Broden. 25836. Wombat - 1/10/2010 11:52:30 PM Mazeltov! Enjoy not sleeping (or feeling guilty because you can, but mom can't). 25837. alistairConnor - 1/11/2010 12:43:35 AM Ahaaaaa... Life will never be the same. For better or for worse. Mostly for better of course!
Take care of the Mrs! It's too easy to let relationship problems slide, with all the other stuff happening...
Congratulations to all three of you, and many years of happiness. 25838. iiibbb - 1/11/2010 12:49:25 AM I'm pulling my weight on the night patrol. 25839. alistairConnor - 1/11/2010 1:27:34 AM My Life as Metaphor, an intermittent series.
Yesterday morning I had an important mission. I had to pick up my elder daughter, a few miles away, then take her to our appointment with the psychologist. We have important things to say.
Thirty to forty centimeters of snow. I had prudently parked my car at a neighbour's place, half a mile up the hill. So I trudge up there and de-ice the car. Confer with the neighbour about the state of the roads. We agree that I have a sporting chance. He is not a man to be relied on to dissuade one from an imprudence; I learned later that he had, the previous day, attempted to crash-start his car out of a snowdrift and flipped it over in a field.
So I gave it a go. Got about half a mile. The windscreen was iced up inside, and I misjudged a controlled slide around an uphill corner, and ended up with a wheel and a half off the edge of the road. Thus far, no further.
So I phoned the shrink, and my daughter, and pushed back the appointment a week. And found a neighbour with a tractor to pull me out, no damage. And meekly took the car back and parked it at the neighbour's.
And sat tight for the rest of the weekend, brooding. About my frosty relations with my daughter and the impossibility of making any progress. 25840. Ms. No - 1/11/2010 7:22:47 AM Congratulations!!! Welcome Broden!!
