january - be gone

tomorrow is the last day of january - thank goodness. we are tired of the cold and this month has been a long, cold one.

the boys wound up sick last weekend. griffin wasn't himself last thursday and by friday night he had a fever and was just really tired. dan and i had a feeling...and we were right. he woke up around 11:30 with the croup cough. ugh. so, we spent the rest of the night/early morning outside in the cold, or in the steam shower. that seems to help him. he finally fell asleep for an hour or two around 6 a.m., so dan and i were able to get a bit of sleep.

saturday morning dan babysat for burke while i tried to get g feeling better. we did a lot of watching tv and laying around. that afternoon i managed to get out to have a bit of fun. dina, nena and i met for pedicures and an early dinner. we decided that since jes and julie were soaking up the sun in mexico and we were stuck in the crap -20 weather that we should treat ourselves. it was great hanging out and getting pampered.
by the time i got home saturday evening, griffin was starting to feel better, but dan started feeling sick. griffin managed to sleep most of the night on saturday night, only waking up once, but with not too bad of croup symptoms.

sunday brought griffin feeling better and dan feeling worse. i took g to choo choo bobs to get out of the house for a bit...we all needed a break from the tv watching.

monday griffin was pretty much back to normal, so we decided that i should go ahead with my work trip as planned. dan stayed home from work that day to fully recover.

my work trip was good. i went on a couple of press checks and managed to have fun with my co-workers. i got home wednesday night and it was great to see my boys.
dan was feeling better and g was good.

this weekend is pretty low-key. tomorrow night we are babysitting george and jimmy overnight. i'm sure it will be fun...especially for griffin and jimmy to play together.

apparently it's supposed to warm up to 30 tomorrow. woo. a heat wave.

not much else to report...except that whoever created the tv show "yo, gabba gabba" had to be tripping on acid.
