If you’ve met my husband, you know he doesn’t say much. But check out this email he sent me this morning at 2:18a:

subject the week
Went to fill up the tank the other day so I could return the car to the rental agency. Figured there would be a few gas stations at the airport so I would wait to fill up there. Got to the airport exit and saw nothing. Had to go all the way out a road till I saw one after a couple miles, maybe two miles. Almost …

Elephant Ears
The theme this week at daycare was “Jungle Animals” and today was Elephants. The kids colored ears and then the teachers put the ears onto hats; and then the kids paraded around wearing their elephant ears.
Secret Society of Walkers: There is a corner of the kitchen at daycare that Mallory usually likes to go stand in while I wait patiently for her to decide to put her coat on so we can leave. Today Miss Makeda told me that the walkers in the infant room (there are four – Mals, Alli, Pavol & Emily) always go …
Tubing
Mallory is getting tubes March 11.
Now hear this…
Wahoo! We got Mallory’s appointment with the ENT people moved up to tomorrow! I don’t know why I’m so excited about this; I guess I’m just hoping to get a break from the near constant antibiotics Mallory has been on since November. I’m also interested to see if it affects her mood at all since she is so happy most of the time – will fixing her ears let her be happy all of the time?
Mallory will come to work with me in the morning and we’ll go get some of the famous cafeteria pancakes that I eat almost every …
Haunted House
I have a ghost in my house!
Thank goodness she is a friendly ghost…
We are surviving Rick being gone. Mallory has been sleeping a little weird this week – could be teeth, could be that she has to get up about 90 minutes earlier for school when I do drop off, or could be because her daddy isn’t here. She isn’t interested in talking to him on the phone either – so it makes me wonder if she is trying to snub him back since she feels snubbed by him being gone.

There have been a few funny things …
The naked shopper
Just some random stuff.
Mallory has had some pretty nasty runny poop diapers the past two days so I let her go bare-bottomed for a bit today to try to air out. I was at the ready with a towel in case she started to pee or poop. I was also at the ready with the camera because I couldn’t resist her sweet little bum as she pushed her shopping cart into her room.
I always get a little nervous when she gets a bad diaper rash – it was just before our ER visit last fall that she had …
B-2 Crash
Look what happened on Guam today:

The crazy thing is that we SAW the Stealth Bomber when we were there a month ago! Rick & I saw it at night one night and it was pretty freaky – really wide set pattern of lights flying slow.Then the next day it made a couple of passes over our hotel – Rick even got a picture:
That article also refers to a crash of a Navy plane 20 miles off the coast of Guam 11 days ago. What the hell is going on?
One day
My sister just forwarded me these pictures my dad took on November 7, 2006…
Hard to believe I thought she was soooooo beautiful back then. LOL!
Update
I decided on Chips Ahoy cookies and a glass of milk instead of ice cream. And the dog is curled up on my legs (Coops hardly ever gets to sleep on our bed…this is a treat for him). I am nice & toasty – Cooper is almost better than an electric blanket!
Just the girls
Rick left us. He’s on spring break with a bunch of college girls. He’ll be back soon.
I always enjoy the first night or two when he travels. I can sit and fart around on the computer as much as I want. I can catch up on my trashy reality TV shows that he always makes fun of me for watching (“the most dramatic ______ EVER!”). I can even go to bed at 8p with a bowl of ice cream. Not that I can’t do that stuff when he’s home but he usually wants me to play him in Wii …
