It's Aliiiiiiive!

Mr. Computer has been retrieved from the fix-it place after a week of being held in limbo.  They didn't actually get to it until yesterday, but it's not like I would have been able to do much with it myself.  I was too nervous about taking it apart on my own.  Thankfully, there were no major problems from the gatorade.  Just some clean up was necessary.  So, yay!

I have lots to share, but I'm not sure when I'll get around to it.  Pictures from my dad's new toy that is in a slip at the Rez, pictures of some hand-made puzzles that Dad and Mom created, stories of playing with SueSue and Amy at the pool, and more and more.  But first, we've got to get Jmk back home from his short fishing trip (I am SO looking forward to some yummy sea critters in the freezer).  And, we've got to get the oldest wee one back to 100% before I can get back to the business of blogging with pictures.

Poor thing came down yesterday afternoon with one of those fever viruses that come out of nowhere and go right back to nowhere within a day.  At least for Poodle, they do.  Toot keeps his "24 hour viruses" for about 2 days.  But, anyway, she is just about past the fever part, so that's good.  Unfortunately, a high fever like that tends to give her a touchy stomach.  So, she and I slept on the couch, because it's a lot easier to clean up an "oops" in there than on a bed.  Sorry.  That was gross.  TMI?  Anyway, after we get everyone home and well, we'll get some pictures up to share.

We had a sweet moment this morning that I wanted to get down so as to assist my faulty memory banks.  Tooter woke up wanting "Cay-cakes!  Soorups!" for breakfast.  Which, for the toddler-impaired translates to "Pancakes and syrup".  So, I got him situated at the table with his fare, and got a weakened Poodle situated on the couch with some plain pancakes.  (She only got a few bites in, but did finish her berry smoothie, so yay her!)  I was fiddling with something in the office, and she came in with a piece of one of her pancakes and told me that "I got sick last night and didn't feel good and I threw up and then you slept on the couch with me but I didn't throw up any more but I got sick and you took care of me, so this pancake is for you, Mommy".

That was the best bite of pancake I think I've ever had.
