Still here, treading water
C. wound up catching The Cold; so far he’s okay. A little congested, but nothing that I can get at with the suction bulb. But that also means he’s not leaking from every orifice. He’s crabby, though. Temperature’s holding it’s own right now. Otherwise, he’s getting fatter by the day and is generally doing his usual nighttime routine. Average nightly sleep right now: between 4-5 hours. Not too bad.
My brain, however, is fried. I’m hoping some of it will return to me once C. starts sleeping through the night, but until then I’m running on fumes.
MM is bored. It’s winter, there’s an infant, apparently there’s a strain of flu out there that the vaccine didn’t target, so I’m keeping us inside a lot. Unless Daddy brings it home with him, we’re not getting it. So we’re kind of climbing the walls. Toy Story and Toy Story 2 have joined Totoro on the list of movies she’ll watch. The TV is raising my kid.
Was thrilled about the Giant’s win yesterday. We (by which I mean my parents and whoever watches football with them) don’t like Tom Brady AT ALL, and We think that Eli Manning has really been getting beaten up by the press this last season, so We were very excited by that last pass.
More later - right now the toddler is raising herself, with the aid of the TV, and C. has gotten quiet. Too quiet.

Sarge spent the evening swearing at the TV. He’s a Pats. fan, but we both don’t get what the whole hulabaloo over Tom Brady is all about. I don’t find him all that physically appealing (which, let’s be real, is how I judge weather a football player is anygood), Sarge thinks that football payers should be “more manly looking”. Which I guess is man speak for “not cute”. I told him that we should have watched PBS/Jane Austen instead, but nooooooooo…
I hope that your collective colds are getting better. And I really am determined to see you at least once before we leave. If only we could schedule it when one of us is not sick in any kind of way!

You know, you gotta do what you gotta do to make things work. Hell, even with one toddler, we end up watching more TV than we need to, especially when it’s just too darn cold or I’m too damn tired.
Aw, gotta love fattening up babies! Hope C’s cold goes FAR FAR AWAY!
