Sorry I haven't been around much lately. Yesterday I spent all day running my 2 older kids around and taking my 2 yo to the doctor -- walking pneumonia and ear infection. Then I got to go -- bronchitis and sinuitis. Neddless to say I've been busy and not feeling great, but I'm getting better. I missed you all! :o)

[beachn4fun]

You two are soooooooooooo funny!

[StarCMC]

I hope you don't mind a little vanity on this thread, but aren't these just the cutest kids you've ever seen??

[beachn4fun]

That is so neat!

[Soaring Feather]

We're gonna be fine -- nothing a pharmacy full of antibiotics won't fix -- I am feeling much batter today. I really missed this thread the past couple of days. I think I'm a FReeper Canteen junkie!

[Mr. Silverback]

The antennas, cannibals, and Tom Jones were so funny, they were worth reading twice! LOL!!!

Did I post those before and not realize it?

[HiJinx]

It's a cinch! All you gotta do is hold the little darlin', sing and coo to her, rock her, and give her back to Momma when she gets too fussy!

Actually, I enjoy trying to keep her happy and I know Mom likes having the time to do other things around the apartment.

And that's something that has worked out great. We bought the house because of the attached apartment 5 years ago...Mrs. HJs Mom stayed there her last 3 years...and now our oldest is living there. It just works out.

[Fawnn]

Did I post those before and not realize it?

I meant because gremlins caused a double post. (It was my failed attempt to make a joke about your joke. You didn't do anything wrong.)

(To the rest of you I haven't answered: Sorry, but I'm crashing already, so off to nap early. I got all stuff out and ready to start the writing/editing Web page stuff -- in between "coloring," of course -- and GROAN! the book edits arrived. Their timing sucks. LOL) ;)

Laterssssssssssss
