'Will it ever stop? Yo...I don't know.'

Riley is STILL sick! I stayed home with him yesterday (he threw up again Wednesday night) and he was running a low-grade fever and he's had diarrhea ever since. He's so 'blah'. I just can't stand seeing him like that! We seriously just laid in bed ALL DAY yesterday. I brought some toys in and he played, as long as he could do it while laying on his side. (I apologize if I am not using the correct forms of lie, lay, etc., I could never get those down!) But mostly he just slept in my lap. I did get to watch the second half of the 1st season of GREY'S ANATOMY! LOVE IT! And I also rented 'Rent', which I knew NO ONE would ever want to watch with me. I liked it, but be warned, 95% of the movie is in song. Really. There are very few conversations that are not sung to music. Really.

Anyways, I did come into work today and the poor thing laid down in his play yard and just feel asleep on the carpet. Then he woke up when the phone rang and wanted to be in my lap. Once my mom got home she 'stole' him from me and he is now asleep on her chest. I'm ready for him to be his normal, energetic, smiling, laughing self!!!

As you can pretty much tell, this is what has consumed my life for most of the week. I have to pay some bills this weekend while I've got Chris around to help with Riley, we've got a birthday dinner on Saturday night at one of my FAVE restaurants (Texas Roadhouse...YUMMY!), and Sunday we've got to go to mom and dad's to put their pool table back together. However, I am hoping that it will be a relaxing weekend overall.

Great news (which most of you already know)...Melissa & Fam are staying in the 'lower 48' (yes, 48, not 58)!!!! They are not going to Alaska, or Japan, or wherever else!!! They are moving to Salt Lake City, Utah. (SLC from this point onward and forever) I'm pumped! She has sent me several pictures of the area and it looks like great fun. Although some great tourism, being so close to Vegas, and skiing will be NO TRADE to having them live only 3 short hours away, I know they are excited to take the next path in their journey, and I am excited for them.

OK, off to check on Riley and get something 'productive' done while I can!

"....To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal; Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle..." ;-) Sorry, had to do that! MAN! Poor little guy to still be sick! :-( I really hope he starts feeling better soon. Just stick to the bland foods and lots of fluids. I am glad you finally watched Greys- told ya you would get hooked! Hope you are having a great weekend...I sure am!!! ;-) ;-)
