And now I have it…plus camping in the living room.

Posted by: Melissa W on: February 24, 2008

I’m pretty sure I’ve come down with the flu, now.  D still seems OK.  J is OK in the mornings but slowly gets worn down and by afternoon he’s fairly puny and has a high fever again.  C is mostly OK…he feels warm occasionally but I’m not sure he’s getting it…or at least not as [...]

The flu?

Posted by: Melissa W on: February 23, 2008

J came down with a bad case of flu symptoms yesterday afternoon. When I called the pediatrician at 4:00 they told me to call this AM if he was still feeling bad and we’d do a flu test. When D called them about 15 minutes ago, the answering service acted like they weren’t [...]

eBay boycott

Posted by: Melissa W on: February 21, 2008

I started this whole long post about the eBay boycott but ultimately deleted it because it was so rambling and boring (more than usual!) that I couldn’t risk putting people to sleep at their computers.  Basically I am honoring it but have been doubting whether it’s worth it.  The new feedback rules suck, but the [...]

School Anxiety

Posted by: Melissa W on: February 20, 2008

The time has come for us to register our first child for kindergarten. I bet you think this is what’s causing my anxiety, but no. I can’t wait to have J in school full time. (That sounds a lot colder than I mean it to, I think. I will miss him [...]

LOST!!!

Posted by: Melissa W on: February 15, 2008

Lost has been back for 3 weeks now and it is better than ever.  Last night was *so* good!  And Sayid in a tux?  Holy hotness Batman!  There are some beautiful men on that show.  (Though it goes without saying that none of them are as wonderful as D, right? )
Anyway…it was just an [...]

Waiting for the IRS…

Posted by: Melissa W on: February 11, 2008

So the IRS didn’t get our refund to us when they said they would.  I’m still waiting.  And now I’m all nervous!  What if I screwed something up?  We used TurboTax, but it’s possible I missed something.  Argh.  I am so stressed about it!  I guess it’s not a huge deal…I know that we don’t [...]

That was fast!

Posted by: Melissa W on: February 7, 2008

I can’t believe we already got our NC refund.  We haven’t even received our federal refund yet, though I expect it tomorrow.  Yay for the NC DOR…I am impressed.
I have big plans for our federal refund.  First, I am paying off the remainder of J’s preschool tuition for the year, almost $400.  Then, [...]

Super Bowl glee!

Yay for Eli and the Giants!!!

Buy something from me!

Posted by: Melissa W on: February 3, 2008

I’ve been looking for a way to make some extra money from home. After a little research, it seems like CafePress is a pretty simple way to do it! So I started a store today. I’m not done creating new items, but it’s a start. Check it out. And maybe [...]


W Family Players

D is the dad, the husband, and the breadwinner. All around nice guy and good at pretty much everything he does. It's disgusting, really. But makes him worth keeping around.

M is the mom, the wife, and the hopeless housekeeper. At least the kids' heads haven't fallen off yet. Beyond that, she sucks at the "stay at home" thing. Oh, and she's the blogger.

J is the big boy. Born October 11 2002, he is in kindergarten and loves it. Now 6 years old, and too smart for his own good. Talks a lot but extremely entertaining.

C is the little boy. Born June 26, 2006, he went through a lot in his first year but is doing just fine now. The only blond in the family, so his paternity is routinely questioned by rude strangers.

V is our baby girl. She is brand new and arrived in January 2009. So far everything is going well. We're thrilled to have added the final piece to our family puzzle. And yes, she WILL be the final piece!
