Disneyland


We're going to Disneyland in 6 days. I'm freaking out.
First off, no one is completely well yet. The kids are fine, but still have hacking coughs. I have a cough. Kate has a cough. Josh is dying. His flu has morphed into Bronchitis. We finally got him something more than over the counter meds today. He's taking cough syrup with codeine now. That might do the trick, but we're screwed if it doesn't.
Second, Sarah Gallo will be here in a few hours. We have a whole week of stuff planned while she's here and (reread above paragraph).
Third, I have NO IDEA HOW TO PACK FOR THIS TRIP!!!! Seriously, is it going to be warm enough for shorts and flip flops? Do I pack jackets? What about for Kate? Stroller? Car seat? What the hell am I supposed to pack?
Lastly, we're flying with Kate and the kids are going with Josh's parents on a separate flight. They've never flown before and although they're not scared at all, I am.

Will It Ever End???

I'm so sick of being sick. We have the flu. Sunday night, I had a fever of almost 103 degrees. Hayden's fever peaked at 104.5. I'm almost better now, and the kids are recovering too. Josh, however is just starting. He's been in bed for a day and a half now. If Kate gets sick, we could be in the hospital. Please keep her in your prayers.

UPDATE: Kate has a fever. Damn it.

UPDATE: It's Wednesday morning, Josh has a 102 degree fever and is still in bed. Kate has a low fever, but is pretty miserable and I'm fairly confident we're just at the beginning of hers. I am currently coughing up both of my lungs. Besides that, we're fantastic!!!

Geek Squad


I just proved myself to be SUCH a girl. I was trying to print something from my laptop to the printer in the office. It didn't immediately work, so I thought maybe there was no paper. I checked. There was. Hmmm, what else could it be? I turned the printer off, waited a few seconds and turned it back on. Nothing. I went back to the laptop, hit print again and waited. Nothing. Gee, maybe I should try clicking "print" again, and again and again. Still nothing. So, I caved and called Josh. He said it's probably unplugged from the computer. He said to plug the blue network cable into the switch that was near the computer. I figured all of this out after a few minutes of standing in the middle of the office and spinning in circles. I often find that this not only helps me think, but also amuses me. So, network cable in, try printing again. Whoa!! It printed. 8 copies.
