So we got all our prepping done in time: floors put down in the last two rooms, office furniture purchased, house clean.

Dama got here yesterday! It was great. It is great. We picked them all up at the airport in a rented 12 passenger van, it's so easy to talk with her about everything and anything, all the kids are having so much fun together.

The caveat: Last night Aaron threw up ALL OVER he and Ananda's room. I felt too sick to go clean it, Grant did...while I started throwing up. Several hours and many dry heaves later, I dozed and wandered around through G the nanny's shift and periodically mumbled dizzy apologies for being such a poor host.

I have got my finger's crossed in a BIG WAY for other kids to not get sick. But I am frightened. Apparently (my mother called to report) Laura and Brian have been throwing up as well, and he had another febrile seizure today :/

So. We have a lot of "plans" for this week but I guess we'll take a wait and see approach, and I'll hope for the best...


Right now Grant, Dama, Ananda, Maria, Zoe, Isaac and Luci are at AWANA. I was far too unstable physically to pilot a 12 passenger van. Jake and Elise are behind me doing something that involves grapes, dried apricots, cups of water and peanut butter, and it's just fine with me (whatever it is). Aaron is sleeping it off in my bed.

Hello!

hi hi
I just wanted to drop you a note that I friended you. Just out of courtesy, I don't expect you to friend me back.

I have been reading you off and on since Elise was born and decided that I want to on a more regular basis. Alot of your bio resonates with me. Mainly the Christian vs liberal/open social views.
"I'm a Christian with a wide spectrum of friends and relatives, ranging from gay and pagan to devoutly orthodox and conservative. ... And I've recently went from being serially barefoot to understanding this whole shoe thing women do. "

and

"I try not to judge other people from my own set of circumstances, but from their perspective. Because I've sure changed my mind about plenty of things, and we're all just people."

Really describe alot about me.

thanks!

This has nothing to do with anything, it just made me think you'd like it

I had this weird ass dream about you last night where I was babysitting your kids. But only two of them. I want to say it was Aaron and a grown Elise (she was four?), except Aaron was the same age.

And I had them in my stroller and I was about to take them back to you before I suddenly realized, "Oh my god! I've had them for days and not taken a single picture! She's going to be so pissed!" so I suddenly get out my camera and start taking portraits and your kids are like, "wtf?" and giving me all these weird looks and I'm going, "SMILE, FOO!". But they wouldn't.
