True Rich, maybe this is the turning point and it will only rain during the week from here on. There is only a few weeks left until the main hunting season, right?

I hope it's the turning point. It seems like it always rains on weekends around here. The big game season in PA starts at near the end of Nov. This cool weather we're having is great for hiking. Snow flurries are forecast for Fri.

Hey coyote!
Watch what you wish for! I was met at the door by my boss at work this morning. My daycare provider had already called to tell me to come and get my kid. He threw up at the breakfast table. Another day off without pay, a day of puke buckets and dirty linen. Cantchya just see the gray cloud hovering over my head?! Uhg!

If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

Gloom, doom, despair and agony on me.

But hey, as Eyore would say, "Thanks for noticing me."

Gosh, Sunshine, I was going to ask how the sunspots were feeling. Guess I already found out!

Here's to hoping you don't get puked on!

Thanks Smiley girl!
Now that Wyatt is almost three, he can aim for a bucket, unlike last year's without warning, projectile vomiting. LOL We'll be ok, tho. Unlike chocolate stain, puke stains wash out. Of course, it takes a second run through the wash cycle to get the odor out.

BTW, Smiley girl, for your future reference should you decide to have children... Vinegar. Put it in your wash water. It helps remove odors from urine and puke.

Also, amonia... if you leave your clothes in the washer too long before putting them in the dryer. Run them through a wash cycle again with amonia. Takes that *stink* right out.

Just thought I'd share. I had to find these things out the hard way. :)

Thanks, Sunshine! My kids are almost 10 and 8 and I didn't know that. I would say "Duh" but I feel like that is getting redundant, for me anyway. Hope Wyatt feels better soon. Maybe he'll nap all day (like that is ever going to happen, right?).

Well,
Today I made it to my first stop along the way to work. I stop at one of the gas stations to pick up yesterdays paperwork. I was informed that school had already called and Audrey had thrown up. I'm home again with yet another sick child. Hey! Who's going to pay my rent November 1st?!?! Uhrrg!

Morning all.....

I'm reeeeeeeeally sorry to hear about your kids, sunshine. The flu is nothing to sneeze at.... (bad joke ... I know). I sincerely hope that they get better for you soon.

Right now, I'm starting to get my stuff together for this weekend. I'm heading up to Manistee for an overnighter with wolfeyes, CMB, lesubtil's brother Doug, and possibly a few others from CMB's club.

Sorry about your kids being sick, Sunshine. I know how incredibly frustrating the "stay home with a sick child instead of going to work" can be. My kids were always sick on the day of an important meeting or deadline. At least it seemed that way. But they are the important thing. Do you have anyone to help you with this issue, maybe someone at church who would agree to do free sick child babysitting at your home when you are really desperate? I know my church helps single Moms as much as they can.

Shake your arm, then use your form
Stay on the scene like a sex machine
You got to have the feeling sure as you're born
Get it together right on, right on

Get up. get on up

I said the feeling you got to get
Give me the fever in a cold sweat
The way I like it is the way it is
I got mine and don't worry 'bout his

Get on up and then shake your money maker

LyndyS, Good idea. All my family and friends work. I didn't think to ask around the church. Especially now that I'm teaching religion for them on Wednesday nights. Maybe a stay-at-home mom or a young grandma would help me out.
