Sue as Nixon. HAAAA! "You know what this is?" "Toilet brush." "It's broccoli. When I showed this to Brittany earlier, she began to whimper, thinking I had cut down a small tree where a family of Gummi Bears lived."

I've been meaning to share this (and I hope she isn't too embarassed, but I think it's pretty good) - The Elder Daughter has a blog: Ephemeral CuriosSome of the photos are hers, some are things she found. Very interesting blog - she writes about some fascinating topics. I will keep this on my watch list.

Just randomly choosing S'cube SARA, here is a "wordle" I made using her "S'cubie profile" answers (and adding the word Sara 8 times so it would come out biggest): Wow! Thank you—that's pretty awesome.

Quick update because I'm exhausted: Peanut's ultrasound was inconclusive. The doctor saw some suspicious spots on his liver, so they did a biopsy of it. Supposed to hear back in 48 hours from that. Peanut had a seizure about 4pm. He stopped breathing for a minute but they were able to resuscitate him. We're hoping it was just from the stress of everything that happened today. He seemed freaked and exhausted once they got him stable, but otherwise okay. I took him to an overnight emergency care clinic so that he could be monitored tonight. Please don't stop sending the good healing vibes. I'm so distraught because he was actually acting like he felt better. And I hated leaving him with people I don't know, but it was the best thing for him. I'm off to try to get some sleep. Love you guys.

"In fact, right now I'm tempted to sell your scalp on the black market as a tiny full-length shearling coat for only the most fashionable premature babies."

I'll keep vibing and hoping they find what is wrong and how to make things better for him soon!

I'll bet his seizure is from all the stress and meds and such, of the last few days. I mean, he's such a tiny little guy, who usually lives a cozy, sheltered life. And he's been so sick, and been given all kinds of medication, and stayed in places he's not used to, with people he's not used to . . . I believe it's stress. Definitely, the good and healing vibes are heading Peanut's way. Get a good night's sleep.

Crackers.
I am supposed to make a Fire Escape Plan for the house, for Children's Services.
So far, I have made my floor plan, both floors, in Excel. It's not exactly to scale, but it's plenty good enough. It shows the doors and windows.
OK. So . . . now what?
I guess it's time to google "Fire Escape Plans" or something. They gave me so little guidance, just said to "attach the plan."
I've seen them in hotels, and of course, the best one was in Niagara Falls, ONT, when we stayed during the Fireman's Convention (I felt so safe!!), but I can't expect to hold a Fireman's Convention in my house every night.

So, Mom called me during Glee (!!!!) to tell me that Kaylee chased a bear off the lawn this evening. Dad took her outside so she could take care of business before bedtime while he grabbed the bird feeders to bring them inside. Why would he have been doing this in the first place? Because bird feeders tend to attract bears. Anyway, Kaylee saw the bear before Dad did and took off running and barking; the bear, in turn, got the hell out of Dodge pronto. Kaylee did come right back when he called her name and whistled, though, so all's well.

Sounds like a plan! All I I know is, two exit choices for any room. Oh! And you can buy these small folded up hanging steps/ladder things for top story windows. You hang it over the window sill if there is a fire and can climb down. Also? Mmmmm. Fireman's Convention.
