When I picked the kiddo up the teacher said her morning was very good, she sat on the rug and was part of the class. The afternoon was rocky though. Hhmm.. I wanted a comparison of some sort and asked her if it was as bad as in September? "Nooo..noo.. not that bad.. " The expression on her face and everything told me that as terrible a start as the child had when school started, she's come a very, very long way!

I called the doctor's office. When asked why I wanted the appointment I said, "I had bronchitis, the cough is lingering and now I have chest pains." She gave me an appointment for tomorrow at 11:15 am. My daughter said if I am having chest pains they should have taken me today. She said I should be going to the emergency room.

I'm not dying so I'm not going to the ER.. I am just concerned that the bronchitis is turning to pneumonia again. I've had it ten times. The pain?? I had pleurisy before. The first time I was told I have that I knew I was dying and got told I had what I always thought to be an "old person's disease." They explained it was not an old person's disease it was an inflamation of the lining of the lungs.

News: Don't use Vicks Vapor Rub on children under the age of two. HUH?? I swear mine are alive because of that stuff! Has anyone ever had to eat it? My husband thinks that is just wierd but I was given a dollop of it after it was rubbed on my chest. Seemed pretty normal to me!

They said on the news that there is ONE Portapotty for every four hundred people that will be in the Capital for the Inauguration. They are suggesting you bring your own toilet paper. Needless to say I won't be there. Nope, nope... some things I simply don't intend to give up and one of them is a clean toilet.

My father's wife left my brother a voice mail over the holidays. She thinks the realtor SHE chose in cahoots with her lawyer... and this realtor was picked like, three lawyers ago. She'll never get that house on the market. She wants to change realtors to one of her friends. Uhm.. we were stupid. We did not contest her living there because that is what my dad wished. Consequently, she's getting a huge chunk of our inheritance. My dad did not wish for her to put the house in debt, (it was paid off.) he did not want her to sell it and pay for the debt then split what remains in three.. it was meant for my brother and I. No, she's crazy if she thinks I'll so much as blink an eye without an attorney present. She also wants my inlaws in California to pick up a bedroom set. They are in their seventies.. how are they supposed to do this? Not to mention, where are they supposed to store a bedroom set? Then, she'll let me have my grandmother's stained glass windows after the house is sold. She's looney... flat out looney!
