Cranky

Sorry for the lack of updates but I am angry with the universe RE: the weather.  Please note: when it is 70 degrees and gorgeous one day and 40 degrees and rainy 12 hours later, it tends to be detrimental to the human body.  I have been sick for 2 damn weeks, thanks to the stupid weather.  I took the Moosh to the doctor today because he had started coughing and hacking again, some more, and initially they weren't going to do anything other than add Zyrtec to his drug cocktail, but then his rapid strep test came back positive.  Poor kid.  Another round of antibiotics, anyone?  Sniff.

Also, I hate Valentine's Day.  I really, super, extra hate it.  Only adding to my hate is the fact that they are having an all day party at the Moosh's school on Thursday, and they actually expect parents of 4 and 5-year-olds to send them in fancy dress clothes.  So they can get them stained, I guess.  Anyway, we don't own any, and I am not buying fancy clothes for a school party.  The end.

I swear, if I see one more Vermont Teddy Bear commercial I will commit ritual suicide.  These commercials are so stupid and sexist that I have to stab both my ears and my eyes with forks every time they come on.  They are toys.  Toys are for CHILDREN.  These bears start at $49.  Grrr. Grrr. That's my Vermont Teddy Bear growl.

Whoops, another Vermont Teddy Bear commercial just came on.  Now where is my samurai sword?

I am fairly certain you won't be the only parent to send a kid on Thursday in play clothes. What are they thinking? Or is this one of those "We learn good manners by learning about different situations" things? Four seems a bit early for that, and all day is too long.

In other whines, February. I'm so sick of it.

Sorry about the strep, but at least he should be feeling better as soon as the drugs kick in.

I heard that about the changes in temperatures - here in Chicago, we hit 45 last week (felt perfectly balmy!), and then when we woke up on Sunday, it was -5 with a -35 windchill! I'm so sick of winter - is it spring yet??

Oh, and totally ridiculous about the dress clothes for a 4-year-old party. I can't believe someone thought that was a great idea.

I was thinking for a minute that you are in the snowy north where everyone is getting blasted, then I remembered that you're in Texas. Not chiding you though, we've been having weird cycles of weather here in California too and it's rather sucky. I would like spring to come and stay please.
And also Valentines Day? Sucks the big one. I don't want to have the baby on the 14th, but then I was thinking if I did then I would have a much better thing to celebrate!
