Officially, my blog has now moved.

You will find me over at http://greenapplemartini.net.

I am still fumbling through WordPress and learning the ropes over there, so bear with me.

Those of you who have emailed me for passwords will be getting an email with the instructions/password to read the private posts. And if in doing so, I manage to over look someone, shoot me an email and remind my ass. It's not personal, promise. But ... give a littttttttttttle bit of time to get that sorted out ...

I'm also NOT deleting this blog - per advised from Elle. Apparently she deleted hers, and it's now a porn site. No thanks!

See you over at the new place, kids! Stop in and say hi (Like, tell me my comment function works).

xoxo

I've got a few kinks to work out on switching over to the private blog - so it'll be happening, just not tonight like I thought. Um, ie: paging Howard to the HDW Courtesy Phone.

And I have gotten all of your emails and have been trying to reply to them. I honestly didn't expect as many as I got!

In the meantime, Bug and I went to the doctor's office for me this time. That completely threw him. He was totally puzzled as to why we weren't going to his pediatrician's office (they have a bright purple door and lots of cool stuff to play with), and why instead we were at a boring office building with boring things to do (like, you know, READ).

He insisted on getting weighed and having his blood pressure taken, as well. He dutifully held my hand and assured me I'd be okay, and "don't be scared, mommy" when the nurse practitioner was checking my heart and lungs.

I thought I was going in for a sinus infection. I have been sick since the first part of November with pain under my eyes, my nose, hacking up gross stuff, and a stuffy ear. I've lived, albeit not comfortably. I finally got an appointment that didn't conflict with my grandma visiting or what have you.

She said I have an ear infection, and said, "It's one of the worst I've seen!". And promptly scolded me for not coming in sooner. I only had stuffiness in that ear, not any pain persay.

She also gave me the example of, "You know, does it feel like little men are tapdancing on your ear drums?". My son now wants to know about "those mens in your ear, mommy!" - and looks quite puzzled by the whole thing.

So, here's to 10 days of antibiotics in the form of a pill that's meant for a horse.

While eating a grilled chicken salad from a local Chinese joint, that - yet, again - forgot the salad dressing ...

HDW: this salad tastes like ass

Mr Vholes: So one could say you're rimming your dinner

edit: And it should be noted, drinking wine after taking a bite of cucmber isn't advisable.

PS And still going private next week. Thanks for everyone sending me their email addresses so I can add you to 'the list'. I'm not weeding out the lurkers, promise. You want to still lurk? Send me your email and continue lurking. I'm happy you stop by to read, even if you don't feel like commenting. Or if you're like Mr Vholes who refuses to comment. He's the Anti-Commenter. Always rebelling against The Establishment, that one.

EDIT:
NEW BLOG POSTS BELOW

After some thought, I'm going to make this blog private.

And I know there are many of you who read on a regular basis who do and don't post comments. I'd love to include you on my 'approved' list to read the blog ... so if you'd like to be added, then send me an email at:

hotdoctorwife at yahoo dot com

I will leave it public until a week from tomorrow (Wednesday, the 28th).

Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!!

We've had HDH's dad and stepmom in town this week - and as always, they are very easy to have around and the week has gone really well. The Bug has been thrilled to no end to have his Papa and MeMaw around full-time, and they've certainly enjoyed having him climb all over them, insisting they play with this toy and that.

Last night, I was starting to run out of gas a little. I think I'm still battling something sinus-related, so I've a little less energetic than normal. I was sitting down and my son asked me why I was so tired, prompting the following exchange:

Bug: Why you tired, Mommy?
Me: Mommy has a cold and doesn't feel so good.
Bug: Aw. Maybe you need new batteries?

Maybe so!! And if it were only that easy.

PS And thanks to all of you who have sent me an email, asking to be added to the read-only list. I'm happy to add the lurkers, really! So don't be worried I'm sorting those I know from those I don't.
