awesome! i got my laptop back. the macintologist was brilliant. he got me a new hard drive, since the old one went *poof*, and more RAM. it's nice to have a functional space bar again.

i don't think i've written much here about the mountain biking kids' program that i've been working on. the idea came to me in the shower one day, a few months back. what if we had a regular ride, just like the tuesday night ride like a girl, but for kids? there's a lot more to the idea, but i won't bore you with details (plus, it's past my bedtime). but check out the website: www.mtbkids.org. i got iWeb with the new hard drive, and put the site together over the past two evenings. *psyched*

we had a quiet thanksgiving today. it was nice to cook for just the three of us. shame about the rain. it was too wet for ian to play outside or for me to ride. ian has unfortunately been having some behavior troubles recently. he's grumpy much of the time and downright oppositional. he just can't seem to be good. i'm not sure what we're going to do to try to help him. hopefully it's just a passing phase. we'll see.

well, time for bed. happy thanksgiving!

post callagain this morning.  haven't been updatingbecause my laptopisbroken.  have been using ian's computer, which asyou can see has  a spastic space bar.

ampostcall this morning. ughitwas a busy night. workagain today.  it'sbeen busy & i'vebeen atwork late.   i'vegotten bettereat charting quickly, but often end upreturning phone calls at night & let parents keep me on the phone fora long time.   i wish they'd come in instead  of calling.it'spainfultobe talking about behavior  issuesfora halkf hour at 8pm  when i  should be home  with ian.

gottodo anight ride tuesday night.  that was great! ianwas sick tuesday with some kind of bug.    poorbaby.  he'sbetter now.  looking  forward toaday  off  tomorrow!

work is getting crazy again.  i'm tired from working a lot - 56 hours so far this week.  mommy day was lame because i was just exhausted.  i didn't sleep well last night and i woke up this morning with aching feet.  not sure if it's from working so much or lack of exercise.  probably both.  i'm thinking about sending ian to school full time again.  i'd pull him out early on tuesdays to take him to gymnastics.  i don't want to lose the time with him, but this winter is going to get worse, and i already feel like i can't keep it up.  maybe it's just from being on call over the weekend.  i guess we'll see how next week goes.
