It took 11 hours to drive from VA to CT yesterday (normally 6). Know why? Max puked four times.
Yep, four.
We had to toss our car seat in a dumpster, pick one up at target (along with garbage bags, Lysol wipes, febreze, and paper towels). Then we stopped at a random urgent care and got him a prescription for zofran, which then took an hour to get filled.
They finally went to bed around 10:30 last night and woke up at 6 (instead of their usual 8pm-7am hours).
Please let today be better. Also, please don't let us get the 3-5" of snow predicted here.
Wait a minute. Sorry about the puking, but you are in CT??? Where? For how long?

Totally unexpected snow day here. Yesterday they were saying maybe an inch, now we might get up to 9. It actually works out well because I was going to have to call out sick to take S to her 9 month check up. I was worried about logistics and stuff. But we are home, the pedi is open and only about 5 minutes away. Now I can get it out of the way and not worry about work.
It's my monthly girls' night out, but I just woke up to a busted heater. The house is pretty chilly, and Andrew's room is unbearable. If I can't find somebody to fix it today, I'm going to have to cancel. I don't feel right leaving a sitter in a cold house, and certainly don't feel safe leaving a space heater in a room with a three year old when I'm not around.
I'm home with the kids today. Noah was throwing up all night and Amelia feels warm and is clingy and fussy. I need coffee, a nap and a drink...not necessarily in that order.

V's back to daycare today. Her temperature was 37.0 C (98.8, which when I think about it now, it's basically normal) and she was acting normally, so, off she goes. So I got in to work 2 hours late, but whatever.
We also decided last night to go out to MILs this weekend, because if we didn't H wouldn't be able to go back until the last weekend in Feb, which he feels is too long, so, off we go.
You know what's worse than being trapped on a parked plane full of kids? A plane full of perky cheerleaders heading to the national championship...and kids.

Did anyone watch the Bernie Madoff movie on ABC? Holy shit. I knew about him and what happened, but I didn't realize it had been doing it since the 60's. Man. I feel so bad for his children and wife
I watched a bit but had to turn it off. He is a monster and destroyed so many important things in my life. I hope he rots in hell.
I'm so glad it's Friday. My sister-in-law is coming over tonight, and we are going out for drinks. I want to find something fun to do though. I don't know why, but I really want to go to bar bingo or karaoke. I never really do either of those, so hopefully I can find someplace close.

Your delay may allow me to beat your step count!
You are both crazy! And I shall take a zero steps today while I sit at home on my snow day.
Tired. W was up at 10:30 and then from 3:30-4:30 and while I was up with him, B decided he needed to sleep in our bed. So when I finally got back into bed, he was there and I can never sleep with him there. He finally decided to go back to his bed and then my alarm went off at 5:15. At least it's Friday. I don't know why W randomly sleeps through the night like once every two months but it's such a tease!
I think my cat is right handed. Every morning he hops up on the counter and meows for me to turn the water on so he can drink from the faucet. I sit on the counter when I do my makeup so I always have to move him to the other side. He looks totally coordinated when he is on the left side of the sink drinking water from the faucet but totally uncoordinated and a little derpy when I move him to the other side. He's kind of special anyway, but I found this odd.

I agree. He didn't care about anyone. I'm sorry it destroyed things in your life. All the people that gave him everything they had Man.
One client has an incredibly generous boss who has been helping her bring her family to the U.S. I needed a bit of info that wasn't in the documents they presented and didn't want to bother them over something so simple, so I googled it. The first result was a story about how they'd given BM many millions just days before his arrest. So sad.

He destroyed the greatest joys of my childhood by stealing all of the my sleep away camp's endowment. It closed 10 months after he confessed.
My SIL told me that happened to a few camps. She works for a Jewish camp association.
Yep
It was based out of the Central Queens Y which transformed into a haven for bukharians even though most of the children didn't attend the camp. With the huge shift in the demographics, the Y couldn't raise the funds to keep it open after Madoff stole it all.
He also stole from a community center in Israel that we had an exchange program with that served Israelis and Palestinians hoping to mend relationships there.
There is a certain (very hunky) NFL player staying at our hotel who was just working out at the gym with his posse. While I was naturally struggling through my workout in all my hungover glory.
This idiot behind is trying to incite a riot. "I'm telling you the girls should take a boat. Yeah, a boat to Florida." And all of the parents are cheering him on like a fucking boat 1000 miles in a winter storm to wave Pom Poms is a viable option.
