That&#8217;s 2 lbs down from last week.  I&#8217;m getting there slowly.  It doesn&#8217;t help that I&#8217;m still not feeling 100%.  This has been the WORST couple of weeks.  From when I got sick on Thanksgiving&#8230;I think that I&#8217;ve had a total of 3 days that I felt okay&#8230;.the rest have been varying degrees of suckage.  <\/p>\n<p>Oh well, I think I am starting to feel better, but the kids seem to keep spreading the germs around like they&#8217;re something to be shared.  Geli had a fever yesterday, and looks like she&#8217;s not doing so hot today and is coughing, but no fever&#8230;.WEIRD!!!  Jeremy and Siah are hacking up a lung and as you can imagine&#8230;that&#8217;s not a pretty sight!<\/p>\n<p>I really want to just feel better and to have ONE of my at home days with no (okay, just Siah) children.  They are feeling &#8220;just okay enough&#8221; to not be confined to their beds&#8230;.but I can&#8217;t send them to school.  Not Cool, people!  NOT COOL!<\/p>\n<p>Alrighty then&#8230;&#8230;enough whining and moaning about all of that&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Hey!  How about an update on my dad?<\/p>\n<p>It was so nice of me to just throw that bit of news out there and then to not update on anything&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>He is doing great&#8230;.actually he&#8217;s better than great.  Apparently, having your cornea cookie cutter-ed out of your eye ball is NO BIG DEAL AT ALL!<\/p>\n<p>In fact, when I was talking to dad a few hours after the surgery&#8230;.he was all cheery and peppy and it was almost a treat for him to have his eye ball massacred.  In fact, NO LIE&#8230;.he said that it was better than going to the dentist.  While I&#8217;m not a huge fan of the dentist, I can&#8217;t fathom how having a giant needle poked into your eye ball and shot up with freezing&#8230;.having your eye lids pried open with retractor&#8217;s&#8230;.having a ring sewn onto your eye and then a razor sharp cookie cutter pressed down and twisted onto your eye to removed the cornea&#8230;.yah&#8230;I think I&#8217;ll stop right there because I&#8217;m grossing myself out and I&#8217;ve already heard about it a few times&#8230;..so I should be desensitized to it all.<\/p>\n<p>So, the long and the short of it is that he&#8217;s doing great&#8230;.better than great.  His eye looks a little creepy, but what can you expect when they &#8220;Frankenstein&#8221; you up.<\/p>\n<p>I will warn you to NOT look at this picture if you are squeamish&#8230;&#8230;.YOU&#8217;VE BEEN WARNED!!!!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/xangelle\/4069433608\/sizes\/o\/in\/set-72157622718829424\/\">Dad&#8217;s Eye!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you look closely, you can see all the little stitches&#8230;..pretty cool, eh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, it&#8217;s that time again&#8230;.Time for the Monday morning weigh-in.
