Little Earthquakes
So since I had to take today off due to a Very Sick Child, I believe I'll discuss a few family topics.
Annie is doing so well in her speech, in her comprehension and understanding. It's just amazing to hear her start to speak dare I say eloquently, and with an eerie exactness. What's truly eye-opening is seeing her next to another two year old. She can simply speak much better than they can, usually because the other one has a pacifier stuck in her mouth.
Speaking of pacifiers, Abby has 1 month left on hers (she turns 1 on Feb. 19th), and then it shall be lost forever. It's a 1-year waiting period we have around the house. While Ericka noted that some magazine or book or something (you know, the general parental drivel/insight you'll find at any dimestore counter) said that 7 months was the prime time, I guess they have their way and I'll have mine. One of the beauties of parenting is that it is always different for each parent/couple and the decisions are in your hands alone.
Ericka has her 25th birthday a week from tomorrow (Jan 28th), and as I said before I would like to get her blogging. I'd also like to take this time to thank her for everything she has done for the fam and particularly the holidays. She was a lifesaver day after day, taking care of all the tidbits I didn't want to mess with. Most of these tidbits were work, and I'll never forget her patience and diligence. Its great to be married, I tell ya. I love you sweetheart (I know she reads this)!
My sister Rhonda (hi dear) is selling some books of hers via eBay, and I tell you I was astounded by its efficiency. One of the four books sold in an hour, another the next day. The last two are being a bit tougher, but you know how it goes. You'll have more bids in 5 minutes than you will in 5 days. She's selling some of her old textbooks, and I'm happy to help.
To wrap up, I have some bad news and I have some good news.
Bad News: Annie is sick (as I noted). She just got back from the doc and has an ear infection + terrible sore throat. "I see a lot of pus," the doctor said (and I appreciate her, uh, candor). I'm about to leave and pick up her meds.
Good News: I've been contacted about my CCG by Those Who Matter, and needless to say I'm terribly excited. Of course, this is still cloak-and-dagger and I can't say anymore than that, but it is thrilling.
Oh yeah, and the Apprentice starts tonight. Sweet.
