-Quinn's babysitter is taking all three kids to COSI today.  It's our local science museum.  They have a membership and go fairly regularly.  They have an area just for kids under 5 years old.  It seems like a lot of fun.  Hopefully everyone is on their best behavior.  All the kids have snotty noses, so the COSI staff are going to have to come through with bleach once they are gone.  I do feel a little nervous about having Quinn driven across town in a carseat that I've never seen.  I just need to get over it, but I suppose it is my prerogative as a mom to worry.

-Sleep was BAD last night.  We are all sick.  Quinn alternated between being whiny/wanting to be held and snoring like an old man.  There was some sort of reverberating snot thing that wouldn't come out or go in.  She kept snacking on boob and falling asleep and then waking up like I put her on a hot skillet when I put her back in her PnP.  I have NO patience when I am tired.  Megan was pretty congested as well and has started coughing.  It was all bad from my perspective.  We all fell asleep again* around 3 and so I let us sleep in a tad this morning to recover.

-Grandma is in a step-down unit at the hospital.  She's been getting dialysis almost every day.  They have been swearing they were going to transfer her to a hospital that can do the heart procedure that she needs "tomorrow" since, like, Saturday.  She has been to weak, etc. and it keeps getting pushed back.  I think it really might happen tomorrow.  
    UTA:  Just talked to mom.  grandma had a really bad day.  She got 2 units of blood with her dialysis today.  The surgery is being put off until Monday.  Mom put grandma on the phone for a minute and I could barely understand what she was saying other than "don't worry about us" and "wish I could see that baby."

-All this talk of dogs, and dachshunds in particular, around the blogosphere today has started lighting the fire under my butt to get mom's web page updated.  She has printed a zillion and a half holiday cards that she wants me to set up a little online sales dealy for.  The picture is based on a painting from a local artist.  It's a little santa with a dachshund.  I think a certain genre of people will really like it.
