Zoe scored 2 goals today. She also had her first brownie meeting. "It was so much fun, mom." Busy day. I'm ready for bed.
Me. Well I have a nasty (and painful) ear infection. I have had it for about a week. Doc B gave me a z-pack but it didn't make a dent in the pain. Last night I was up until 3am. So they said to take some darvon and call then in the morning.
Just to be on the safe side though, my doc prescribed 3 days of dual IV antibiotics. Then more in pill form after. I was really afraid last night. All the people I know who have died get some infection and die like ... well fast.
Thank you all so much for the donations. I am now at $2,000. I'm totally amazed. I am going to email Amanda. We are some tough chicas and we WILL raise a million.
Anyway. We are stinky and need a bath. Zoe is so good at soccer it's scary. And Dallas K, it doesn't matter if your kiddo doesn't make goals, he's so cute it should be illegal.
I can do this. I'm sweaty like that.
Your assignment for today is make some time to read a book. Even if it's just some chick lit, go to half price or re-read one of your favorites. We bought some birthday books for a party Sunday and bought "Say Goodnight to Illiteracy." Great bedtime stories and the money goes for reading programs.
I love you internets. Especially you.
P.S. Belated Happy New Year to my lovely Jewish friends :)
Posted by debutaunt at September 26, 2006 07:33 PMA good assignment, Deb. It's "Banned Book Week," ya know. I'm sure if you had a chance to peruse the list, you'd see some on there that Zoe would love or already know! Hard to believe.
She's adorable in her Brownie uniform, and I'm hoping that ear starts feeling better really soon!!!

I'm reading Kitty Kelly's "The Royals". It's so trashy.
Posted by: Jessica at September 26, 2006 09:19 PMCan't wait to hear from ya...as for your assignment, I finally was able to start on some fun reads today after about a month of reading GRE test prep books. I started "Fear and Loathing in Las Vagas" today. Yeah, it's a good thing that I don't have kids. Hunter Thompson really isn't known for his bedtime stories.

He called me your sister, which I could argue but choose not to. :)
Posted by: Angie at September 27, 2006 09:15 AMBooks! Yippeeee! This assignment I can do with my hands tied behind my back! Hallelujah! Right now I'm reading Ed McMahon's book about Johnny Carson. Then I have a chick read after that! Zoe is so sweet it makes my teeth hurt!

Very good assignment.
There is nothing like escaping with a good read.
I think one of the greatest gifts my parents gave me was the love of reading. One of the greatest gifts a parent can give their child is to take the time to read to them. How many parents have read a favorite story over and over again before they finally said goodnight?
Hope your ear infection goes away soon.
Love,
EV
I just LOVE Z in her uniform! I could no more get L to wear her uniform than the man in the moon! So, for Jr.'s, she just got a vest. Fortunately, we haven't had to do any special ceremonies, like the flag ceremony, or anything where we'd need the whole gig. But, we require the girls to come with their vests, however, they always wind up on the backs of their chairs (or on the floor) before the meeting is even half way through. Most forget them. L earned her Bronze Award this year. I'm hoping she sticks with it. I understand that there are scholarship opportunities for the Gold Award girls.
Love the shoes!
Denise :)
Posted by: Denise at September 27, 2006 01:51 PMYou are my hero, and Zoe is too precious for words.
Can I tell you that you are the best of the best?
I just did.
Oy vey! Is my niece ever cute!
BTW: I do miss our Yiddish friends. Shooshie that means you where ever you are.
