ARRRGH

Day 5 of sick kid. So I just left all of the messages telling work and school that we would not be there. I left the house once on Saturday to take the sick kid to the DR. but that was it. In the house all day Saturday and all day Sunday. All Day. But it is pretty amazing taking this kids temperature, it has consistently been over 100 for all 5 days. It got to 102 on Saturday. Ibuprofen puts a little dent in it. Putting him in the tub helped a little bit. His coughing is driving me nuts too. I don't want the rest of us to get this. I don't have enough sick leave. And we leave for Spring Break in 2 weeks. ARRRGH.

Guess what I got?

Promise not to laugh????



Yep, I got Dance Dance Revolution for the Wii. And look - 2 dance pads! So I can have friends over!

So let me know if you want to come over and play! J-man and I are having a great time with it, and heck, Mitch may even learn how to dance!

Oh yeah, and Happy Birthday to me. :-)

More St. Patricks Day pictures that make me smile. This was the project at T-mans school today. Apparently he was so excited about it, he was the first one done so he could put it on. I love it! These boys do have a little irish in them after all!

Happy St. Patricks Day

I celebrated St. Patricks Day yesterday and did the 24th annual St. Patricks Day Dash in downtown Seattle with my friends Kristie and Frank and 15,000 others. Frank ran and Kristie and I did the last wave of joggers/walkers with the stroller. We had a good time even though it was COLD, at least it didn't rain! Here is us at the start of the last wave!



Next year is the 25th annual St.Patricks day bash and they want 25,000 people to run it! There is a crazy party afterward, complete with beer garden. I didn't stay for the party this year, I needed a nap afterward, but maybe next year I'll bring more friends and stay for a beer!
Happy St. Patricks day!

Race for the Cure 2008

Dear Friends and Family,
I recently joined the global movement to end breast cancer forever with my promise to raise funds as a participant in the Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure® on Saturday, June 21st, 2008.
One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. For the present, the key to survival is early detection. For the future, we need to energize science to find the cures. The more money we raise through the Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure, the closer we are to a world without breast cancer. The Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure funds vital breast cancer education, screening and treatment programs in our own community and supports the national search for a cure.
Click here to visit my personal page and pledge your support.
Please help me and the Komen Puget Sound Affiliate fulfill our promise—to end breast cancer forever--by pledging to contribute in support of my participation in the Race for the Cure. Your tax-deductible contribution will fund innovative outreach and awareness programs for medically underserved women in Western Washington and national breast cancer research.
It is faster and easier than ever to support a cure for breast cancer. You can make a donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message. If you would prefer, you can also send your tax-deductible contribution to me and I will turn them in with the additional funds I have raised.
Whatever you can give will help me and Komen fulfill our promise! I truly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.
Thank you so much for joining the breast cancer movement with your donations of time and money. Your support brings us all closer to a world without breast cancer.

Well he did it. J-man is now a Bo-Dan and he has been promoted to the 6pm class. He is very excited, and I am very proud of him. I am a little concerned about the whole 6pm class and what that is going to do to our family dinner time. Not sure how this is going to work now.....
