  Bondage in Snow
I just learned from my site meter that someone found me by searching for Bondage in Snow. Not really an appealing thought for someone who lived for many years in Minneapolis.

  I Live in a Cave
As far a popular culture in concerned, I live in a cave. I must live in a cave because a few minutes ago I finally stumbled upon one of the thousands of articles and posts about Lindsay Lohan being drug and alcohol rehab. So it looks like she may be "one of us." Oh well!

To tell you the truth I am much more concerned about my spell check being damaged. I cannot spell without my spell check. Yikes!

  Jack Bauer and 24

Jack Bauer rocks! Although he must have some PTSD going on.
 
  SNOW!!!!
Yes, it finally snowed here last night! Which means I finally get to wear my Bean Boots. I am very excited!

I am also excited that Sam went back to school today. As of yesterday the doctor has him on yet another round of antibiotics. In the past three weeks, Sam has had two vacation days and four sick days. And he is off again on Monday for a professional day. Yikes! Posted by Picasa

  Acceptance
Sam is home sick again for the fourth time in three weeks. It is either a new ear ache or the first one was not completely knocked out by the antibiotics. Sam is usually obnoxiously healthy so this is very different for us. But I am told that acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.

  Family Ties
Yolanda, my husband's brother's mother in law, lost her ten year fight with Alzheimers on Monday. They are a very close family and they cared for her at home until the end. Being that close in a family is something I cannot quite fathom. I left home at the earliest opportunity and never really went back. I cannot imagine caring for an ill parent day in and day out.

  Happy Dance


Sam went back to school today. He tried to convince me that he was still too sick but, after he did the YMCA dance in the living room there was no way he was staying home.

  Ear Infection
Sam is sick. When we went to the doctor yesterday we found out he had an ear infection rather than just a cold. He stayed home all day yesterday and he will probably need to stay home today. So this will be day three of giving up Coke and it may be day two of staying home with a sick kid. I am posting right now because I was just up with him giving him Sudafed, Benadryl and Junior Strength Motrin. I want to try to control everything but, at this point all I can do is turn it over.

  Coca Cola
I spoke last night and inspite of my best intensions I did sort of a crappy job. Oh well the outcome is up to God anyway.

I forgot that its not a good idea to quit an addiction on the same day that you speak in front of a group of court order alcoholics. I am quitting regular Coca Cola.

I know its a wimpy addiction. Yet I am as addicted to Coke as I ever was to drugs and alcohol. No it does not land me in jail but, it is wrecking my teeth, enlarging my ass and leaching calcium from my bones. It is sad but, I need it to function.

So today is day two. Poor Sam is home sick the second time in as many weeks. I am really, really trying to be nice.

Today, I am grateful for one thing. I am grateful that tonight, I get to tell my story to a room full of newly sober alcoholics.

  Blogging Burnout
I am having a bit of Blogging burnout and I am just not sure what to write about. Tomorrow is my natal birthday. I am not sure how I feel about that either. I also cannot find the one Target receipt I need to return the one item that did not fit. It's just that kind of day.

Update: I found the Target reciept and four forks on my husband's side of the bed.
