• Hubs was home sick for 4 days.  That translates into: 4 days of distraction.  4 days of worrying about his asthma.  2 days of saying “yes, you still have to do school if dad is home” … 2 days of just giving up.  4 days of asking Hubs NOT to watch television in the morning.
• He’s back to school today and now I’m worrying about his asthma at school!  I plan to call him periodically to say ‘sit down for awhile….don’t do too much….are you drinking water?”
• Sissy has an ear infection.  ugh.  At least she is on antibiotics now and she’s return to happy child.
• I frogged and restarted the baby blanket for Brett & Christy’s baby that’s due in less than a month.  Thank goodness we’ll be on vacation for a week soon so I can knit.
• We are planning a vacation to Lake Tahoe area in late April.  We planned it thinking there would be no snow and lots of opportunity to check out historical stuff.  Now I hope there will be no snow!
• Why is it Moms never really get vacations?  I’m still going to be cooking, cleaning and doing laundry.  Though I certainly plan to sit on my butt and knit as much as possible.  The Family will just have to deal with it!  They know how to cook some things!
• As my dad and stepmom are in town, we went bowling yesterday and then came home and took a walk to find a couple of geocaches.  Our first!  J3 found the first one – I was ready to give up!  Both caches we found we only a 1 or 1.5 in difficulty (out of 5) and it was hard!  Came home and told Eric about how fun it was and he ordered me a GPS (some kind of etrex) that will arrive before our vacation! So I know we’ll be doing some geocaching on vacation!
• Today we are taking Grandma & Grandpa to the zoo!  And, it is supposed to be in the mid 70s.  I really should go make the sandwiches for our picnic!
• I need to get our puppies groomed.  I need to call Ruth again to find out who she uses.
• Today I take Sissy to the orthopedist (is that right) to have her legs/hips checked.  Hoping it’s nothing.
• We’ve been going around and around with our caseworker in Oregon.  We were supposed to finalize in March.  But there have been delays and a real lack of communication.  We just found out that she is leaving the position and we’ll have a new caseworker.  I have no idea how this will delay the adoption.  I have been calm about it but now I’m starting to fret!

Well, I’ve put off starting my day as long as possible. Life and picnic-making calls!
