Randomness: Part Deux

OK so this is less like a tag and more like the fact that I have a million things I've been wanting to write down and none of them related to each other.

Like "Twilight". Have we read this yet??????? Is anyone else as in love with this series as I am? I have read the first two and I am on the third, but I feel compelled to express my obsession with this since it's coming out on Friday. And even though I usually hate the movies based on books I love, I always must must must always watch them anyway. I've since learned to keep them separated in my mind. But I can't wait to see it. I must admit that at first, the thought of a 100-year-old (vampire) being in love with a 17-year-old did creep me out a bit, but once I get over it and repeat in my mind that he really is a teenager because he died as a human that age or something like that, it makes me feel a little better. That's probably my only weirdness with the book. And have you seen Biggest Loser this week? I'm coming in a little late on this one, I watched last week's and this week's and I'm finding with each episode, I dislike Vicky more and more. She's just kind of, how a friend of mine would put it, poisonous. I realize she's playing a game because that's what the Biggest Loser is in the end, a game. But shouldn't she realize that that's what Amy was doing too? Playing the game? It's every man for themself at this point! Am I missing something with Vicky? Did I miss previous episodes in which everyone liked her? Why do I care? Anyway...

I am living in sickhouse again. Honestly, I am so frustrated at this point, I can't even tell you. This is the third time since September that we have all been leveled with something. Now the kids have bronchialitis. I didn't even know that was a word. They're both on the nebulizer and both have to do four treatments a day. Poops puts his fireman hat and coat and boots on and watches Fireman Sam and pretends it's a firemask. He's been so great about it. And the littler one, he actually does it fine too if he's sitting on my lap and can finagle a thumb in his mouth somehow to do both. We've all been sicker this year since Poops started school than we've ever been. Right now I am listening to dueling coughing in the monitors. How sad is that?! Ugh. Can I just close us all up in a bubble surrounded by anti-bacterial gel and wrap them up in bubble wrap while I'm at it? My body hurts. I would like to send a memo to germs right now.

To: Germs

RE: Declined

I am sorry to inform you, germs, that the most recent family you chose as your host family has decided that they won't be able to participate in your program and host you afterall. In fact, in this difficult economy, you'll find that most families' resources are already spread thin. Families are finding that germs in most situations require an obscene amount of attention, time and financial commitment and in this crucial time families are having to pare down many of the non-essentials and extra-curricular activities. Like, for instance, hosting unwanted guests (germs) that require families to have to take off for days in a row to help with nebulizer treatments, doctors appointments, expensive medications, the two-parent-hold-down in order to dispense said expensive medications, and not to mention seeing their little people so uncomfortable because of your lengthy stay. So, thank you for your interest in our family, but we're no longer interested and I might be speaking for many families here, but neither are they. So, if you would, don't call us. We'll call you.

Finally, and completely unrelated, isn't it weird how in the drugstore the baby items are directly across from the contraception items in the same aisle? I'm just sayin..
