Wouldn't you know it... Connor's sick again. This time its diarrhea. Mmm... so much fun. I think it was the chicken tenders and fries last night. We only let him have deep fried foods on occasion, and he'd never eaten at this place before (we'll just call it Runny Tuesdays for now). Eww.

Not much happening with me. I haven't worked out traditionally this week. I did mow the lawn (most of it... the gas ran out) and did some other outside work, but I can't figure out how to do stuff with Connor's new sleep schedule. I have come to realize the only reason he had been such a "good sleeper" was because he had been sick for so long. Cold, after cold, after cold, after flu... you know the story. Well, now he's down to a normal 1 year old's schedule of one midday nap. Boy does it suck for me. I've figured out how to do most normal household work with him around, but not working out. I may need to bring out the cage and let him scream it out. I NEED that 45 minutes of physical activity. It wouldn't be so bad if he would leave the XBox and control alone. He doesn't get underfoot... he just likes to push buttons. And I hate yelling at him over and over. *sigh* I'll figure something out. Maybe it's time to try running or speed walking. I could get a bike... hmm...

I took this online test for dialect. It's kinda silly, but cute. I took another once that was better... but this will do!
