The good and the bad

Things that make me happy:

Checking on the boys after they're asleep to see if they've kicked off their blankets (they always have), and finding books wedged in and around a sleeping Ethan.

Ethan's daily questions. "Why does every world have a sky?" or, "Does Jesus know what 'Ga-Ga' means?"

Drew's recovery from the flu.

Two adventurous sisters-in-law, driving out to visit me and the kids for a few days! (All the way from Maine and New Hampshire!)

Finally feeling some crafty inspiration coming back.


And some that do not:

Ethan is sick again with a cough, fever and ear infection. At the Dr.'s today, as we waited for her to write out a prescription, Ethan said to me quite loudly, "Remember the time when you mixed up my medications, Mama?" Huh? Um, NO. The Dr. sort of chuckled to herself in a distracted way.

No access to the good camera for a couple weeks. Hmmm...it's not really mine of course but I sure do miss it.

ZAP! Getting shocks every time I turn around. I feel like some sort of electrical conduit. I try to turn off light switches with my foot if possible.

Being inside a lot...that whole cabin fever thing with the cold and the sickness. Makes me a little crazyish.

Is it worse to end on a negative note or to start on one? At least my positive list was a little longer.
