Oh you are evil Julia... taking advantage of your procrastination on dh and telling ds to rub backs with your dd. Heeheehee... I love it.

Sleep deprivation =

Well, you're not procrastinating on the chicken pox!

Nope I only procrastinate on the things DH wants done.

And that's the way it should be. Why else were women put on this earth but to tease and torment men?

I totally agree with Dutchgirl... we were put on this Earth to torment and tease men. What a lucky position to be in, eh?

What would be the point of being married or being in a relationship if you can't have these powers?

I am totally going to have to get a new approach to marriage. I have been doing everything WRONG!

The "lads" are here raking up leaves, pine cones, petrified poop and other winter debris. I'm hoping they don't take the whole afternoon as I'm packed, have my boarding pass printed and am ready to roll as soon as they leave. I'm really looking forward to this break - my Christmas trip was a tad stressful with all the snow problems. If Nova Scotia is snowed in, you may never see me here again. Bye.

And try not to hit 500 when I'm not here to pull the plug.

Oh, I think you can safely go on your break.

HAVE FUN!

I caught chicken pox from my son., he was seven and I was about twenty seven at the time.

well i have had the chicken pox. my 5 year old should not have to much to worry about because of the vaccination for them. lucky kid.


and for all of you procrastinators just remember "If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done." ~Unknown ( and i sometimes fall into this catagory depending on what needs to do.)

My son got a VERY mild case of chickenpox when my daughter got it at age 4. He was about 5 months old. He got two (TWO!) spots! But then when he was about 2 or 3 years old, he got shingles. It was horrible--he had horrible, horrible huge spots all over half his head. I took him to the ER because I had NO IDEA what it was! He was put on Acyclivir as well as a bunch of other things and amazingly he didn't really suffer much. He did get some horrible scars though. One that deformed his eyelid (but now at age 14 it isn't too noticeable) and several in his hair, so as long as his hair is longish, you can't see them.

Have a fun trip, Ruth!!!

Allison: Just reading about your ds's shingles gives me the shivers. I too, would of brought him to the ER.

ditto to PEARY's!
