Again, no pictures

I have a really good excuse as to why I haven't uploaded any pictures lately... wait, it'll come to me...

Oh yeah... we've had a hell of a week (month, year...). First of all MH decided in all of his Catholic non-meat-eating-Fridayness to eat squid in Bolivia. Yes, Bolivia. You've heard of the landlocked country? Sure, there's Lake Titicaca, but even if there is squid there, it is still at least a few hour ride to the city in a barrel in a pick-up truck. I'm thinking God would have forgiven him for chosing chicken parmasean instead. Needless to say he got sick... very sick in the middle of the night and remained sick (very sick) all day Saturday. Of course my family thinks he gets sick all the time, but that's not true. He's only thrown up 3 other times in 13 years. Unfortunately, he makes sure that he does it in a memorable way (like driving down the NYS thruway at 65 miles an hour with a Tops bag over his face).

In any event, not to be outdone, I decided to get sick on Sunday. While the kids and MH were sleeping on Saturday afternoon, I went to a book club meeting (my first ever!) and got distracted (or something) and had three (that's 3) Cokes. True, I once consumed 24 Mr. Pibbs in less than three days my junior Spring of college when I was studying for exams, and it didn't seem to have any adverse effects on me, but this time I am convinced the 3 Cokes were the source of my current migraine. I am obviously getting better (if I am able to focus on the computer screen) but for the past 3 days I've been praying that someone would remove the ice pick from my brain.

On top of that, The Girl has been teething. Her gums were as purple as her name. The Boy is pooping (not super regularly, but we're excited all the same). The only one who isn't giving us trouble is The Dog.

My goal is to get some pics up soon - maybe after Easter. Thanks for checking my blog and for yelling at me about not posting to it. I've been wasting time on facebook, but this is much more fun.
