Now for the final installment of my overly long Christmas story. As we all know, it's finally over. I just took down the tree yesterday (sure, I'm a little late). But, now we have the problem of way too many toys in our house. I'm trying to sort through them and get rid of some, but I hate to get rid of toys that are in perfectly good condition.
On Monday, the day after Christmas LuckyHusband's dad was feeling pretty crappy. Apparently, he had been really having alot of pain in his right side, but was too stubborn to go to the doctor. So, on Monday (4 days later) he went to the ER and ended up with an emergency appendectomy. OUCH! The dr. said that if he had waited until the next morning (as he had planned to do) he wouldn't have made it there. Men!
Also, I have another addiction to add to my list. Harry Potter. I am a little late on the HP bandwagon, but a couple of months ago I checked out the first book on CD, and I have listened/read all of them. What awesome books! I can't wait for the next one. I used to wonder what in the world would possess someone to be one of the people in line at midnight, but now I'm already planning to be one of them for the final book release!
And, finally, we had another little incident and I had to call 911. LittleMan and I were home alone getting ready for bed and I heard what I thought were people talking outside my room. I was on the phone with Scuba Steve and he told me that I was losing it. So, about 20 minutes later, I heard talking again, this time loud enough to make out what was being said. I freaked out and called Scuba Steve again and he told me to call 911. Of course, by the time he responded to the call, no one was there. Maybe I am cracking up!
I also learned a new hobby over the holidays. I finally taught myself to knit. I am super-excited about it. I have almost completed my first project which is a cool scarf for LittleMan. However, with the 60 and 70 degree temperatures that we have been having I guess we'll just have to admire it hanging in his room and not around his neck.

Melissa
Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
