They stay out of the main lake for the most part, though they have found some wandering down to the "rec" area.  Most of the other lakes we swim in are in subdvision developments, which is nice.  Minimal boat traffic, nice smooth waters.  Ahh... OWS.

What you don't like smelling like chlorine all the time? LOL

Hi Sal!

Hey Bethy!  Lots of werk today?

Yep - my project is really kicking into gear - it's going to be a very intense few months coming up! 

I'll be rooting for ya...was JUST there on my last project...

...but it's Wednesday...you goin to Omaha this weekend?

I am indeed! I am more than ready for a weekend at home!

What's wrong with the smell of chlorine?? It's hottt.  Smells better than most lake water but harder to get rid of I suppose.

I really need to get out of my house.  Who is picking me up?  C'mon... road trip... you know you all want to.

Oh, hi.

Pick YOU up?  Um...Mila...hate to break it to you...but you probably smell like kiddy vomit...obviously no offense...

How ya feelin?  How are the kiddies doin, especially the little one with the BIG round eyes?

What's your point, Sal?  I can shower... and spray on lots of perfume... then I could be like "that guy"... you know, the one that walks by and has so much cologne on you can smell him for 90 seconds after he's gone?  Yeah, that one.  But only with Tommy Girl instead of Drakkar.

How ya feelin?  How are the kiddies doin, especially the little one with the BIG round eyes?

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury... I give you...

Exhibits B and C.  Notice Exhibit B on the left?  Temperature of 103 for 2 days.  So tough even Motrin can't break him, so stoic he doesn't need to eat for 48 hours at a stretch.  Exhibit C, on the right, is known for projectile vomiting on the run and his M.O. is to simply wear out would-be captors who are too old to have toddlers and therefore have just given up.

Exhibit A could not be reached for questioning as she was busy hurling.

Sooooo... other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play??

So is Exhibit B playing 'Runescape' on the laptop?  My 11-yr-old is addicted to that game.

And is this a picture of your kids SICK?  When are your kids NOT photogenic?

You MUST be referring to JB... 

No, I'm sure it was "club penguin" or some other such nonsense.

And is this a picture of your kids SICK?  When are your kids NOT photogenic?

Thanks, they are pretty photogenic and Exhibit C loves to ham it up for the camera.  Rare to catch the elusive Exhibit B on film though... he was tolerating me because he's too weak to move having deprived himself of food for 2 days...

You MUST be referring to JB... 

Heh... no... but I'll tell the BoyToy you called him old today .

bleh - I'm still at werk

self induced though to some degree, its so I don't have to take any werk home over the weekend and it's my first big turnover of deliverables to IT tomorrow - I want to be more than prepared!

I'm headed to the apartment

Hopefully *see* you in a bit! 

Hi Nibbs!

Beth - Yay for getting a weekend at home

Mila - Hang in there with those kids - man they are too good looking

Sal - dont get eaten by crocs

hmmm who have I missed?

Hiya Nibbs!  

I can feel the virtual high fives here...Pam and Mila you two would be ever so impressed that I rode 200+ miles this month! Pretty good for someone who has had an aversion to her bike.  In fact she finally has a name ('bout time, I got her last June!)  She is one Sweet Mama--especially since Performance got the rear chain ring all cleaned up ans she shifts so much better now.

Mila, those kids look too good to be sick--that really sux.  It seems to me that if you're going to be hurling all day you should LOOK like it!

Hi Nibbs!  Wow, what a long day!

Yeah, no kidding!!  And Exhibit B's temp. was like 102 at the time.  I don't have a fever and haven't hurled... yet... but I still look like death warmed over.  That just isn't right.  Notice Exhibit A was missing in action.  I'm sure she was off painting her nails or something.   Middle of the night puking kept her home from school but she was fine all day.  I told them all no more throwing up.  I'm tired of this nonsense .

Congrats on the high bike mileage!  Love the name.  I'm not a bike-naming kinda gal, but if I were, mine would be called Stella.  I am going to be putting in quite a few miles over the next many months, methinks. 

Mila, how are the kids doing?

Judi, wow - awesome mileage!

Cat, how's work - another long day?  oh, tomorrow is friday for you, yaaaay! 

ummm, I wouldn't limit the being impressed to just Pam and Mila

WTG! 

Thanks for asking... I think they are on the mend.  Exhibit A should be back at school tomorrow assuming she gets through the night OK.  Exibit B has to be home again.... 24-hour rule on the fever.  Not sure about Exhibit C... it's always kind of hard to tell what is up with him under "normal" circumstanes, tougher still when he's sick.

I am supposed to ride tomorrow so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that that will be possible!

Stellaaaaaaaa!!!   Here's your plantation Stella, right here...
