I have been sick.
July 2, 2007
Some lame stomach bug. Puking and all that. You really wish you cleaned your bathroom better, every time you have the stomach flu, let me tell you. Live and don't learn.
Our internet has been sick too. Not communicating well with the mother ship, or satellite, or whatever. Don't you think it's weird that we get our internet from a satellite? If I see myself on my stats, I register as Unknown Country. That's pretty cool, don't you think?Â
An Unknown Country. A place where they sit in peace and don't have stomach flu, where they can get on the internet at hours other than midnight, where the babies don't grow up and that isn't wrong.
I don't want my Leaf Baby to grow up. I know that's wrong, and really, I do want him to grow up, to be normal, to have a life, but also, I want to smush his cheeks forever, while I say, "Chubby bunny, chubby bunny" without him pulling away and saying, Mo-ommmm. Is that too much to ask? Or how about if he could just babble like he does now, forever, acting like he's having a conversation but really making no sense? It's adorable.Â
Oh jeez. It's obviously past my bedtime. Just wanted to let you know a little of what's been going on around here.

Ohhh, so sorry to hear you've had the pukies. Hope it's not going to make the rounds at your house like it seems to always do at mine.
It is so hard to watch the baby of the family grow out of being a baby. The good news is, I've got big kids- between 8 and 11 and it's often that they babble incessantly and then roll their eyes in frustration because I have no clue what they're talking about! I think because I'm so good at catching them in lies or have a knack for knowing what they need or want, they think I can read their minds. At this point, I'll just let that dog lie- it's probably for the best that I let them think that I DO have special mind-reading powers. :-)
Glad you're on the mend!
Get better! I know what you say about bathrooms, there is something about being sick in one and realizing you missed a spot while cleaning.
Children should never have to grow up. They should stay the same age, and you should stay the same age, (so that you are not worn out looking after them) and they should never learn to be cheeky - they should all stay around the age of Leaf baby forever.
Oh well, tell that to the creator. Just take some time out now and get better.
Happy 4th of July!
gee, I am so sorry you've been sick. get well. Leaf baby is perfect now and he will continue to be. You know, i have been wanting to tell you, I think you are a superstar woman.
You reminded me of when I first thought I might be pregnant (with Geneva). We were sitting in our cabin reading Pilgrim's Progress and I jumped up to go clean the toilet b/c I felt like I was going to be sick. Ahh... the memories :)
