This is my 100th posting!!! It is really the only thing I can get excited about today actually. I hate Valentine's Day, and have for a long long time. Before children and before the Anti-Hippie it always seemed that I got dumped around Valentine's Day. I love my husband every day and do not need a holiday to buy him a mushy card, I also don't want anything on Valentine's Day, surprise me and send me flowers out of the blue, because you were thinking about me! We actually do not do anything to celebrate this day around here, especially not today.
Last night, we listened through the baby monitor as Gnat struggled with a cough. This morning she woke up feeling okay but with a runny nose, by 1:00 this afternoon she had a fever of 99.9 and was so lethargic and whiny that the Anti-Hippie and she are on their way to Prompt Care in Springfield. Meanwhile the next door neighbor has called to tell me that her 2 year old has a confirmed case of RSV, they were over for a visit a few days ago. I hate to be all excitable about illness, because as you know this is not who I am, but I wanted to be proactive about this so I was the one who recommended going to Prompt Care. I am anxious as I await their call, but I know in my heart I did the right thing. I will keep you posted on this matter.
On the other hand I have some more bitching to do. My niece received her transplant last week and is doing great. I am sending white light and hoping for the best for her, but her parents on the other hand are really making me angry. I probably should not even be posting this because it seems like I am cold and heartless, but they need to get a grip they need to STOP SPENDING MONEY WHILE THEY ARE IN CHICAGO! They will be up there for at least 4 months awaiting her recovery, so if they eat out only once every day at $40.00 per day that is 40 * 120 days or $4800.00. By my calculations that is enough money to buy a half way decent used car, that is enough money to put money down on renting an apartment, that is enough money to PAY YOUR PARENTS BACK THE MONEY YOU OWE THEM!!
Okay I am sorry I ruined your Valentine's Day, but you all know that I love you, Happy V. Day!

I hope you get a phone call with good news soon. Poor Gnat!
I can't believe you're still a Valentine Grinch, as mushy as you can be about the Anti-Hippie! We made a delicious dessert and took the boys out to dinner at the local pizza place tonight. It's been a lovely Valentine's Day!
Hope we can get together sometime soon! Take care and stay healthy. Love, EM
