Lame
It's been a lame-o day here. The best thing I can say about this day was that I finally got the kitchen floor scrubbed, and oh how it needed it.
In other news, Joe was home sick today, and I spent the morning feeling slightly annoyed by the fact that when he is sick, he gets to lay in bed and sleep all day and when I am sick I pretty much get to get up and tend to the kids anyway. Then, when I suggested he get up mid-afternoon so that he would be able to sleep tonight, I realized that he is truly feeling awful. All he ate today was plain rice! Um, sorry honey. You go right back to bed.
Sophie is teething hard again. On the one hand, I'm glad she's finally filling in the front of her mouth and will have a nice little row of pearly whites. On the other hand, my nipples are killing me because she wants to freakin' nurse all day long and her latch has gotten lazy so she's biting me. I spent the whole evening in the nursery trying to get her down in the crib (aside from the 20 minutes I spent on my hands and knees in the kitchen). Finally, at 10:30, I gave her a dose of Tylenol on top of the dose of Motrin she'd already taken, and she fell asleep in my arms a little after 11.
Our internet is still creeping along, thanks to the overload of traffic from the recent linkage. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad ya'll are here for the visit. We just really need to move my site back onto a commercial server somewhere not in our house. Our DSL is about the slowest possible DSL one can have as we're technically too far from the hub to even have DSL at our house. Normally this isn't too much of a problem, except when there are 20,000 people trying to read the blog in one day. If anyone has a suggestion of a web host they use and like, I'd love to hear it.
It's freakin' cold and we're getting a mix of snow and rain here this week. I am so over winter. I need me some spring!
Finally, I have placed orders for all kinds of fun stuff like a new t-shirt, some books, some dye, yarn to dye, and a replacement part for our dishwasher (which is still working but the top rack is loose). I was expecting some of it to come today, and none of it did.
Bleh.
Tomorrow I'll be back with a better attitude. Hopefully

Blame it on the yucky weather. I know it is not helping my mood at all.
BTW, I love the dress you picked.
I've been using StayHosted.com for 2 years and have never had a moment of trouble with it. Love the left over sock afghan - I'm making one too! Mine is entrelac instead of mitered.
I totally know how you feel! Kerwyn isn't a demanding sick person, but at least he gets to lay down, undisturbed (the kids won't ask him anything if he's laying down/unwell), without the little day-to-day jobs that can't not be done. I feel sad for myself every time that I get sick and have to suck it up enough to check homework, make dinner (or even supervise children making it) do laundry ...
And you did what I do - shop a little. Even if it's just for a few minutes, it makes me feel better!
Have a better tomorrow!!
Hope you have a better day tomorrow! We use superb.net, and my hubby says that of all the ones he has used, he has liked it the best. Sadly we do not have a current family website, as he is not allowed to "publish" anything due to his job now, and I have not yet picked up that responsiblity.
Our midwife gave us a great tip for teething. Take a washcloth, tie knots in each corner. Dip the knots in water (or salt-water) and freeze. Let her chew on the knots! Both my boys went thru the same thing. Nipples are NOT chew toys. Yowch!
Love 'em or hate 'em, Dreamhost has great packages, freakish amounts of storage, and one click installs. Email me and I can give you a code to get $97 off your first year with the lowest (still insane!) package. Not trying to push anything here, but it's a good deal, and I get no kick back for it. I just like to share the love around. :)
