I’m holding my squirming, puking 16 month old daughter. My three year old son was sick earlier in the day. He’s sleeping now. My wife is also nauseous, she’s trying to sleep. I’m staying with my little girl waiting to get sick myself. Ah the joys of parenting! ---

Oh, man. I feel for you. We did the whole ‘stomach flu’ thing a week or so ago. It was bad. smelly. Nothing like lying on the bathroom floor wishing you could just pass out, only to have your child come in and throw up, too. (((((hugs for the whole family))))) FB ---

Yuck! The joys that I have to look forward to once Bubbaleechie is born. I’m currently at work watching the clock count down to 5.30pm (it’s about 4.15pm in Melbourne Aust.). I really shouldn’t be online seeing as the tech guy went and blocked all the message boards so I wouldn’t play. But here I am and increasingly caring less about my job and more about my sanity. ---

I’m kicking back and drinking a Sprite, letting my mind wind down after a closing shift at work. ---

I’m drinking the morning’s first coffee, getting ready to go into the office, and clock watching till 11am, at which point I won’t have to teach again until next semester! ---

I’m drinking cold coffee (I drink it WAY too slowly, I think.) and chain smoking- while also reading the boards and simultaneously looking at the kitchen floor. I ought to stop and sweep it. I am also listening to the dryer run upstairs and waiting for it to stop so I can put the next load in. I wish I could concentrate on one thing at a time. Ah, the joys of ADD. :rolleyes: ---

More cold coffee and a cigarette here – while I take a break from beading a necklace. Wish I could hold that baby for a while, DX2! ---

She slept on the family room floor, 'cause I wasn’t going to put her upstairs. My son seems better, my wife doesn’t. I don’t feel so great myself, just now. I guess it’s coming! ☹ ---

I’ve got the day off, so I’m sitting at home in my computer room, contemlplating getting off my ass to go take a shower, but unable to turn off the Dope. That’s pathetic - I’m going. ---

I’m multi-tasking at my desk. Listening to the radio, watching Regis & Joy (my TV only get’s one friggin’ channel) and playing on the 'puter. Only 7 hours, 40 minutes to go… ---

I was going to report that I am sitting at my desk like the rest of you, drinking lukewarm coffee, wasting time and staring into space, when the first hummingbird of the season landed on my feeder. So I’m birdwatching.
