I Can Promise You This

I will not be blogging this whole month about H1N1. I swear.

Today? It's kicking ass and taking names in our house. For quite sometime today I was convinced that I had it. I felt like I was hit by a truck. I looked like it, that's for sure. I took a 3 hour nap with the baby and voila! I felt like I was hit by a bike. That' s how the pediatrician explained the H1N1 and the "regular" flu. The oinker makes you feel like you were hit with Maximum Overdrive and the "regular" shtuff? A bicycle. Granted, not one ridden by Lance Armstrong but you know what I mean.

My fabulous mother in law is sick. I feel horrible for her. She's been miserable all day long. My sister in law isn't feeling well either. She's pregnant and is concerned about our 19 mo old niece and the one baking. After we got the diagnosis on the boy, she called her clinic. She said NOW may I have something? The niece and sister in law go to classes on Mon evenings and the niece's best friend was there. Tues, the friend was sick. Twice now she has been to the hospital because of this.

Like I said, my three are all on the Tamiflu right now. The girls are still fine though I'll have to watch them closely this week. You couldn't tell the boy was sick at all. He hasn't had a fever since last night but will still miss this week of school. Poor thing, he is not happy about. No, really. He's not. He loves school. Seriously.

Stop laughing.

One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other

When was the first time that you realized that your home was not like other people’s homes? 

My house has always been different from other houses. I don't think I could narrow it down to a particular time. I recall not having friends stay over. Ever. I always stayed at all my friends' houses and called their moms "Mom".

Not a lot of my friends were only children so to them, I was the odd duck. Believe me, I *was* the odd duck. Just for a myriad of other reasons.

Having a family of my own, I really see the differences in houses. We are more relaxed with some things that would not fly in other houses. It gets loud in our house. Extremely loud. If I stopped them from being loud all the time, I wouldn't get a single thing done. I tend to jump in right away when the kids are arguing because it can, and will, quickly snowball into WWIII and someone (or both) will be crying. We let our son play the Wii, computer or DS for far longer than other parents or even the "…

This Has To Be Said

I haven't blogged in 8 months. We bought a house, still unpacking, school started. You know, life. I felt the need, the urgent need to blog about the Adrian Peterson situation today. I am full of all sorts of feelings and had to write about it. I would love to hear your thoughts on this whole thing. No really, I would. I don't feel I was a douchebag in my writing so all I ask is you not be a douchebag in your response. Thanks.

My thoughts on the Adrian Peterson situation (but first, some backstory):
I was spanked as a child. I'm pretty sure most of us that grew up in the 80s were.Until the summer between 5th and 6th grade I lived in Charelston, SC and from 6th to 11th grade, North Chicaco, IL. I have seen every form of discipline doled out on a child. I've seen spankings, beatings, hairbrushes smacked into heads, spoons hitting the tops of heads, whips, belts and even switches. I've seen it all.Most of you know that my son is named after a little boy who died from c…
