universe, your method leaves a little to be desired

So I was looking out the window this morning and thinking 'God, I feel vaguely like ass, I don't want to go out in the cold and rain'.
From the next room, I hear that the boy has somehow captured a small baby seal and is hiding it under his bed: "hack hack hack bark"
Right. So I suppose I'm staying in. I suppose that's fine, if you count being sickish with a sickish three year old and having cramps 'fine'. He's often relatively well behaved, just sick. Especially since *touch wood* he's been sleeping remarkably well for almost two weeks. I think this is a record in his short life so far, truly.

Whoever decided that those little quick-dissolve whatsits are so much more well liked by children obviously never met MY son, who HATES them, but who really really likes his echinecia (sp? I can never get that right) and herbal tincture we give him for general immune boostering/allergies. It was easier to give him the tincture, he didn't spit that out six times. Further proof that the boy is a mutant.

But he's very helpful with the spreading helpful-breathing essential oils on his chest. He thinks he's getting it OFF, but I know better. Muahaha.

reannon reminded me that it's almost time for julnawrimo (because November is a ridiculous time to write a novel, especially if you're a college student) ... *ponders* I need a few actual complete short stories. Maybe I'll use the time. :-D

(This is also a veiled attempt at pimpage. Sssh. :-D)

for shame. I mean, really.

Eco-raffle gives away Hummer.

It saddens me especially that this is in Canada. For some reason I feel as though my countrymen should know better. It's not like this was at the WHITE HOUSE or something.
