Whine About it Wednesday!
One word. Mosquitoes.
The only good thing about the recent drought was the lack of the little bloodsuckers which inhabit my yard. Then the rain came, preventing us from cutting the grass, and now you can’t go outside without getting eaten alive. 
Don’t like it. 
In fact, I absolutely hate it. I’m having to spray sticky repellent all over me and the kids just to take the dog out to do his business.  Number one item on my dh’s Honey Do List–fog the yard.

The nasty little bloodsuckers are all over us here too. But still, thank God for the rain. It’s rained every day so far and supposed to continue through Friday.
It feels like a friggin sauna but we needed it so desperately I’m not complaining.

My whine is that I’m sleep deprived. Our plane was late on Sunday so I didn’t get home until 10:30 PM. Monday night I spent 3 hours in the ER with Baby Girl followed by a night of waking her up every 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes (she’s fine just a precaution). Last night she woke up herself at 3:30 and then I couldn’t go back to sleep.
I want some sleep!!!

I’d whine about my knee, but I’m milking it for all it’s worth. (Can’t do laundry. Can’t cook dinner. Can’t clean house. My knee hurts, remember?) Ahh, uninterrupted, guilt-free time to play on the computer and nap…

Oh, I haaaate mosquitoes! Yuck, yuck, yuck!! And so sorry, Kira–I also hate being sleep deprived. Definitely a major downside to moppets
(Even when they get bigger/older, they find ways to wake us up at night… not as often, which helps 
Feel better, everyone!

My whine is that somehow, despite my internet impairment, my computer has managed to get some funky spyware/virus on it. So now, I have internet, but my homepage keeps getting reset to google and if I try to search in google, it send me to some other website that has nothing to do with what I searched for. And if you try to use software to take it off, it multiplies. I’m going to have to format my harddrive and start over. IF I can find my disks to everything, like XP!

Jen, I love the rain. I just wish the mosquitoes would have stayed MIA.
Ginger, sorry about your sinuses.
Kira, poor you and poor Baby Girl! I’ve decided that planes are NEVER on time anymore.
Hope your baby is feeling better soon!
Kimberly, I’m guessing that playing on the computer and napping are going to be good initially…but I can see you getting restless very soon.
Fedora, you’re right about the little ones waking up. Mine are older now, so we rarely deal with it anymore but I can *so* remember.
Andrea, bless your heart! I’ve only had a virus on my computer once. I took it to the repair shop and they fixed it. Can’t remember if I had to take my disks, but I don’t think so. I know you’re ready to scream. (Or make some other snarky funny comment.
)

My whine for the day is shopping. Today I had to shop for groceries, birthday presents, a birthday party, and school supplies, all at once. 2.5 hours in walmart with 2 small children is NO FUN! Especially when the 3 year old has decided that since I’ve been gone so much, he doesn’t have to do what I say anymore.
What happened to my little angel???

I got online for a bit this morning, then left for a dentist appointment. I ran into Danniele at Walmart and came home to find out my ISP had a server outage. Even when they came back online, it was shaky. It seems to be okay now.
Did I get anything accomplished while I didn’t have email to check every 5 minutes?
No. Well, I got the laundry put away and put clean sheets on the bed.
