Touching Base.

It's been a busy week, with all three of my men knocked about with the lurgi still. Joel has a man cold.(Seriously, not at all. He's been miserably sick, and still doing his best to help out and not be a sook. Mostly).

Xander's asthma is about as bad as it's been in 18 months. To his distress, I'm going to keep him home. As much as I don't like to curtail his activities too much, even when he has asthma, I've seen all to well this time around what happens when he runs or gets excited. Today is a 'big school' day, where running is what he does a LOT of. So, home today to watch DVDs and play with Mummy.

Sam still can't shake the ear infection. I'm honestly not sure what to do. Poor baby.

Speaking of Sam. 6.Months.Old.On. Monday. Can you believe it? We've had our little man for 6 whole months now. I'll do a whole post about that over the next day or so.

There are a few things that I'd like to talk about, actually, and I'd like to do them each in their own posts.

But I'd like to say that I'm thrilled to see Jenn and Mary posting again. Ladies, you only stopped a few days, but I missed you and thought of you both often. I hope you're ok. Don't take this the wrong way. I know you're both wanting breaks. I just wanted to say it was a beautiful surprise to see posts from both of you this week.


Speaking of which, Ave. Where are you? Having too much fun with your characters, I'm guessing. I miss you too! No fair. My muse has done a runner. If she's at your place, hype her up with some caffeiend and send her back, will you? I'm waiting.

Ok. Sam's awake, so I'll come back and do my real posts later. I want to post about Sam's 6 month birthday, and what he decide to do in celebration. I want to talk about Mum. I want to talk about Tam and Jo and Gemma. I want to talk about the Fundraising (which kept me insanely busy last week). And about some of my thoughts about the situation over at Essential Baby.

I've been AWOL, for good reasons. So is it odd if I tell you that I've missed you all? Is that strange? That I feel a connection to those of you I read regularly, and who read here?
