the new year is starting off with some ups and downs. jameson has had a cold pretty much since his birthday. the bad news is, he's not much fun to be around when he's sick. the good news is, he sleeps a lot when he's sick and we don't have to put up with him. friday, we met the two lauri/e's (and their kids) at the pool. i tend to want to play with the mum's and don't pay much attention to anyone else, including my own mum. i'm getting very brave swimming into the deep end. of course i've got on my super duper extra floaty swim suit plus water wings, no chance of me getting water in my eyes. saturday night, we celebrated great grandma's 80 birthday. we had a party at our house. granny sarah made most of the yummy food including lasagna and carrot cake. that was the last time i ate. yesterday, i didn't feel so hot and around 7pm i puked for the first time in my life. i said to dad "what just happened" and then apologize to mum for making such a mess. at 2am, it wasn't nearly as novel for anyone. mum and i were up every 1/2 hour to rub my head as i prayed to the porcelain goddess. i was pretty good about making it to the toilet each time and we only went through 2 sets of sheets, two jammies, and 3 hoodies. we're a little better today. but no one is eating much, except for mum who says she's eating for all of us.
it's 45 degrees here and raining and the snow is 90% gone. don't you just love global warming?
