My goodness, so much to do and I’ve barely even started! Washing is still getting done, dinner dishes not put away, bills not yet paid, books to put in the book journal, etc. Plus we had a little emergency tonight—Jonathan threw up at dinner. First time! Not exactly what I needed when I was eating too. He threw up again about 15 minutes later, but that time we made it to the toilet. Ugh. The things one must do as a mummy. Hopefully it’s just a little bug that is now out of his system.
I also had to troll through our friends since both my cousins who live in town and had said they would take me & Jonathan to the airport ended up ditching me—Jfer for Seaworld Tri (I would have ditched me too) and Matthew to make a trip to Katy to get some soccer equipment for a game on Sunday afternoon. I tried many of our other friends and our neighbor, but they were all busy. Then I checked out cabs & the SuperShuttle, but those require you to provide your own car seat. Finally a friend of Dale’s whom I helped rescue from the rain when she & Dale were on a long bike ride two weeks ago said she could take me out—although we have to move Jonathan’s car seat into her car since she can’t drive a stick. No big deal, I’m just thankful we’ve got a ride!
Okay, guess I should get started so I can sleep at some point. I may not post much while in Kansas, but Jonathan & I return on 10th October.

Good thing he's having a shower with me in the morning! Gymnastics is definitely out, and cross your fingers that we survive the airplane flights.
Posted by: Elizabeth on September 26, 2003 09:19 PMAww, that's too bad Jonathan isn't feeling well. Hope he has enough time to recover before making the trip. Have you tried Pepto-Bismol to try and settle his tummy?
Posted by: Theresa on September 27, 2003 12:12 AMTheresa, Pepto-Bismol is a good idea. If he's still having problems in the morning, I'll run up to the drugstore to get some. He's been sleeping fine for a few hours now, so hopefully he'll be okay in the morning.
I have managed to pay the bills and enter 56 books in my book journal (what I've read since the beginning of June or so), but I regret to say that I am not packed.
Posted by: Elizabeth on September 27, 2003 12:43 AMI did fine reading your entry until I got to the point about the "widgie bit" in his hair. Yuck! That's an awful way to start a trip. I hope he is fine now and that you did not get what he had.
