Saturday
Emma went to bed with a fever last night, and when Emma doesn't sleep well, nobody sleeps well. Kristi had to work at 6:00 this morning, and Emma was vomiting by 8:00. Sigh. We both had plans for the day -- she was going to Sam's birthday party, and I was going to enjoy the three hours of solitude by hanging the drawers for the bed and/or trying my knee on a bike ride. None of it happened; the day was spent sipping tea, watching cartoons, playing "Kim Possible III" on the Game Boy Advance, and reading "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkhaban".And that's okay. I've had far worse days.
Emma's feeling better now, though she does tend to relapse -- we'll see.
In the midst of it all I found a thread in Worth's general forum that was passing on as possible fact the pretty-well-discredited story about Iran requiring Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians to wear color-coded ribbons reminiscent of Nazi Germany. This led to otherwise reasonable forum-dwellers hinting that use of nuclear weapons again Iran might be a Good Thing -- or at least that the threat of nuclear force might be.
I swear, I don't understand how people negotiate their way through their daily lives sometimes.
