Pleiades

My life is full of crap.

Michaya has a stigmatism in one eye and is farsighted in both eyes. Her new glasses will ensure that we no longer have any identical twin confusion.

Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. Light a man on fire, and he's warm for a lifetime.... just kidding. I still enjoyed Diane Kendall Martin's lesson today, even if I remembered this morbid joke in the middle of it!

Husband and older kids went to a friend's house to play, so I'm trying to persuade Kaladin to sleep long enough to get Christmas decorations up.

Dear Amazon, I know it's Black Friday, but as one of the largest online retailiers in America, your freaking checkout should work. Especially when you have lightning deals that require the customer to check out in a specified period of time in order for them to work. >.

Thanks to Brian Goodrich for inviting us over for Thanksgiving dinner - our whole family really enjoyed the food and the company.

Isn't it funny how your voice gets lower when you're sick? The gunk in my throat is probably making my vocal cords vibrate a bit more slowly than usual. At any rate, I'm totally rocking the lower A on the bass clef today.

OF COURSE the day that we have family pictures scheduled for the first time in three years is also the day that I wake up with an icky cold. >.

Thalia to Michaya: "Do you remember that one time I came out of Mommy's tummy first?"

Dear IKEA, being able to launder my couch cushion covers instead of having to wrestle with upholstery cleaner is pretty much the most amazing thing ever. Many <3s.

Man, I hate pantyhose. I'd like to see how much my stake president likes them when he's trying to squeeze into them just weeks after having a baby.

I wish I could hire someone to do potty training for me. We are making zero progress and I just want to scream.

Geesh. Medically, it's been a banner week for us. >.

I just heard my kids' reading toy give them the definition for "snuck." >.>

I'm kinda stoked about the cool Christmas present I'm getting Orion.

Home again, home again, jiggety jig.

Baby has a fever, so to urgent care we go.

Sick baby

"Rigel, what are you grateful for?""Zombies!"

Nggggg I hate being cold. And having a cold. And having a cold while being cold. COLD.

Poor Orion - it's hard to be the only one fasting in the house. It's even harder if your silly wife forgets and starts listing off all the options there are for lunch and wonders why you aren't answering. >.

I'm glad that I'm feeling better. A stomach virus has knocked out both the girls and Orion, so I've got a lot to do today.

Looking at a birthday party catalog with Rigel, I pointed to some Cars decorations and asked if he would like that for his birthday. "No." "Really? What do you want, then?" "CAKE!"
