I can’t stand to vomit. So vomiting for about 20 hours…

Does anyone else remember Cricket magazine? I used to love reading it as a child. Something about it just felt special for some reason, like it was just there for me.
As soon as it came, I’d grab it and a large glass of milk and hide in my closet. I’d read it once cover to cover, and then when it was time for bed, I’d put it under my pillow so I could read it again after “lights out”.
It would come with me to school for a few days, and I’d read it during lunch for about a week.
They got a special place on my shelf when I was finally done with it.
I should get Ben a subscription.
Ben is taking martial arts training in a local school. I like the
program for the most part, but there are a few things that concern me.
For one, the main instructor talks up a good game of “respect” but does
little to display it towards the kids or other teachers.
Ben sort of looks up to this (19 year old) man…and I want him to
continue with the course…but this kid is starting to get on my
nerves.
Damn it…respect has to be *earned*.

-I find myself missing my children more and more each day.
-Ben has some pretty deep thoughts. I love ‘em all. This morning it was: “Where do the colors go when you stop dreaming?”
-Snow is everywhere…but it’s getting dirty. As much as I love a snowstorm, the dying and dirty snow always makes me depressed.
-Been sick for the past four days. Felling better (but trashed) today. Because of this I missed ‘Sweeny Todd’, and I feel sick about it. I really wanted to see the show and be supportive of Jo.
-I’ve been trying to be a good friend to all, but I’m increasingly becoming aware of my new limitations. Especially in the evenings. I just don’t have the kind of energy I used to. I’m trying to arrange things for everyone to have fun, but it there does not seem to be a good or easy option.
-Speaking of being tired, something has to give. I have too much on my plate and something just has to be moved off.
-Gee, isn’t this just the most fun you’ve read today?
-I’m itching to get on another family getaway with Jo and the kids. I know we’ve tentatively made plans to get a weekend in Feb, so I’m looking forward to it.
-Wheeeeeee
-I miss just hanging out with friends. My brother has been by a lot in the past couple of weeks. It’s been nice.
I am…I’m just an idiot. I trust too easily, I allow folks to talk me into things, I develop empathy for others that only turn around to screw me when it suits them…
I’m an idiot.
I am blown away by D that does not let Manning score a TD. Had you come
back in time from tomorrow, and told me yesterday that the Pats
dominated the Colts, I don’t think I would have bought it.
Again…What. A. Game.

That last mobile post took about 18 hours to show up. Let’s see if this
one does any better.

Wondering if I can get this to format correctly and “increase” my
blogging frequency.

Looks like Newt is throwing his hat into the ring early for ‘08.
Ben: Tyler, did you enjoy your sleepover last night?
Tyler: Yeah.
Ben: What kind of dream did you have?
