The cold that wouldn't die...

So this evening, my throat started getting sore again. Now I can feel it spread out through my jaw into my left ear. This, I don't need.

God, I hope this isn't Pru's strep infection. Ugh.

Small annoyances

Is there anything worse than seeing a mosquito in your car, failing to kill it, having it fly out of sight, and then having to start driving?

Wiley says a wolverine would be worse, but you know, if there's a wolverine in my car, you'd better believe I'm calling in sick.

Mommy mistakes

So, this evening, I decided to stop by the grocery store on my way home to pick up fixings for dinner. I had Miss Widget with me, since Wiley was off cavorting this evening.

In a fit of brain seizure, when Widget decided she didn't wwant to go in the carriage, I allowed as how she could "walk self" in the grocery store. We'll blame it on mental befoggment.

Dear lord in heaven, WHAT was I thinking?

It was a tsunami of pent up energy and destruction from about five minutes in. Touching everything, running around blind corners, refusing to hold my hand, or to wait for me. Oh, and don't forget the looks from everyone else in the store, you know, the "Geez lady, can't you control your kid?" looks.

I think she's going to ride in the cart until she's 12, after this.
