  • Grant threw up twice tonight, the first time right as we were trying to get him to go to sleep for the night.  Nothing like vomit all over a duvet cover...  yum.

    He seems to be okay, though, now, having slept for 1.5 hours without waking up with more problems.  That's good and hopeful.  Madeleine always seems to wake up every half hour to throw up more when she's sick.

    I've noticed I feel really guilty about lots of things:  mostly parenthood, religion, eating, legos, exercise, spousehood, etc., etc.... okay, just about everything.  I always feel like I'm not doing well enough, but I really think I'm probably doing "good enough" -- I guess you just do "good enough" and make your way through life and then you die.  At least I have lots of fun in my mediocrity.  I think excellence would be a bit -- un-fun.  And that's the most elegant word I can think of at the moment.  Of course, I should be sleeping and I'm probably tired and that's probably why I can only think of a word like "un-fun". 

    There is so much to write about my kids, and of course I feel guilty about that too, that I haven't written so much lately.  I try to tell myself it's okay to not write everything, and that a few anecdotes will be fine. 

     

    Uh oh!  Crying bayb!
