Good Morning - 12/19/08

Screw the internet, I need to satisfy my true addiction this morning - caffeine. (I almost wrote nicotine, but I haven't had a cigarette in seven years)

• Nanny called in sick this morning at 7:40. Still has remnants of the flu. Wouldn't have been so bad but I actually had a job for today (or half the day) teaching third graders. I also had to take the twins to the doctor and see Johnathan's holiday program. I'll still take the twins to the doctor, I need to work my biceps anyway. Nothing like baby curls to strengthen the arms.
• I was up four times overnight. The first time was to give Morgan a change of diaper and a bottle of milk. The second time was when my entire body (or so it seemed) flared up with itchiness, despite taking an oatmeal bath at 10 PM. The third was when Johnathan peed in bed, soaking the sheets and his mother (he sometimes sneaks up to our bed in the middle of the night) - I'd say she was pissed, but that would be a very poor pun. Nothing like changing sheets at 4:15. The last time was 6 AM, when Michael was screaming for a diaper change and a bottle, which woke up Morgan. Okay, so I was up three times. . .
• They are still teething and we can see more teeth coming through the gums. Probably what is making them so cranky. Morgan has seven teeth, and Michael has four or five.
• Michael ate a piece of Oreo cookie this morning. Johnathan has eaten his last cookie in the living room. . .
• Did some writing yesterday - it felt nice.
• Don't make me throw my shoe at you.
• This means you Shellie.
• Other than what I've written, I've got nothing.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....
