I think we have finally survived the flu that's been going around. :-p

Man, that was terrible.  I think we were sick nearly EVERY day of February!  And that's no joke... Olivia is still sick, but I think she's finally coming around.  Oh, I can't wait for spring when all these illnesses aren't close at hand anymore!

Life has been crazy.  Aside from being sick, I've been working, working, working!  Its all it seems like I do anymore. :-/  I hate not being home.  I'm trying to not feel like a whiner through all this, but its still hard.  I hate knowing (or at least pretty sure at knowing) what you want to do but you can't.  Like a young toddler who knows he wants some crackers on the cabinet but can't reach it.  He wants it; he knows he needs it, but he can't get to it.  Instead he's stuck with a piece of bread, and even though its good and somewhat tames his cravings, he still wants what he can't reach. 

Sigh.

I wish life wasn't so complicated sometimes.  I always look at the "big picture" but its so hard sometimes.

I can't believe its March already!  Jake's birthday is just nine days away...AHHHH!  My little brother's going to be 20 soon!  ::sniff, sniff::  This month sure has a lot of holidays - Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Easter, Purim, St. Patrick's Day - and then Jake and Jeb's b-days (his is the 23rd; he'll be 16 on Easter!  How cool is that!)  Man, that sure sounds like a lot! 

Has anyone read any of Ernest Hemingway's works?  I started A Farewell to Arms.   What a rip-off!  Totally over rated, as usual when it comes to classics. Don't you hate that?  Books that *should* be good because everyone says they are usually are busts.  I don't know why I'm disappointed by that.  I guess because I spent Friday morning reading half of it at work and it never really improved.  It passed the time, but I'm sure there was something better I could've read.  But I've come this far; I have to see what happens now. ;-)

Ok, this is a really boring post.  I guess there's nothing really exciting to write about.  I'm not home enough to see all the weirdness and I'm at work a lot and who wants to hear about the meat packing business?
