Sunday fort

This is what Taylor and I came home to after the baptism we went to at church. They built a pretty good sized fort in an hour.

Bowling

We're bowling at CU. We were going to go to a dance performance but I got the days mixed up. So we went bowling instead. I'm doing really lousy, even with the bumpers.  But everyone's having fun.

Necrotizing fasciitis

That's what's on my mind. Necrotizing fasciitis or commonly known as flesh-eating bacteria. I think it's the worst disease I have ever learned about. There's a teacher at Westview Middle School here in Longmont that has it and he might not live. My friend was just telling be about it because her son is in this teacher's science class. He just recently went in to the doctor because he wasn't feeling well and they had to amputate his arm and shoulder after discovering that he had this bacterial infection. It spreads so fast and the mortality rate is 73%. If that isn't the scariest disease around I don't know what is.

Today Karen was out sick again so I had the phones. Again. And I did a QuickBooks training and I have an accounting test I'm still studying for and I have to run payroll tonight and I just figured out I was supposed to file my 944 last Thursday. So why am I blogging? I don't know. Stress relief for a few minutes. Okay, over and out.

Valentine's Disaster

So I had this bright idea to schedule a couples massage for me and Taylor, as a Valentinte's present to him. He's always complaining of a sore back and how he needs me to give him a massage. I keep telling him he should go in for one- cause I'm no pro, but he thinks that's weird. I thought if we did it together he wouldn't be so wierded out. So I scheduled one for both of us. I didn't tell him because I didn't want him to have time to come up with an excuse. I just told him I planned something for us Wednesday night and we got in the car and I didn't tell him where we were going. Then we pulled up in front of the chiro/massage office and I told him and he was not happy. I thought I was being so thoughtful in planning this out for him. OK, maybe a little sneaky but I knew he'd enjoy it in the end. But he was adamit that he was not under any circumstance going in there. The office has a glass front so when we pulled up in our van the two massage therapists were waiting for us at the front desk and could see us arguing in the car. For like 10 minutes. It was awesome. Finally I walked in all disgruntled and told them what happened. But I was still getting a massage. So Taylor went home and came back and picked me up. Happy Valentines Day.

I got a 90 on my first accounting test. This is lame because the two questions I missed I totally should've gotten right. But I am learning a lot from the class.

I've been swimming laps every few days with the kids. I really enjoy it. I'm up to 12 laps, which is 1/3 mile. And Evan has really come a long way with swimming. He's almost to the point where I don't have to worry too much about him in the water.

Emi is sick with a bad cold. I think it might be strep. I had Taylor call in some amoxicillyn so hopefully that will kick it.
