april fool!

Miguel played a trick on me yesterday. As usual, Lily started barking at something, so I opened the door to tell her to shut up, and I saw there was a green SUV thing in my driveway. I figured it was just someone pulling into our driveway so they could turn around, because that happens a lot. I went back inside and peeked out the window to see if it was leaving. But it didn't. Instead, Miguel hopped out of the passenger's side. I ran out the door screaming and about knocked him over and gave him a huge hug. It was a very pleasant surprise. Of course, because I wasn't expecting him, I hadn't taken a shower and I was in an old ratty t-shirt and soccer shorts with paint drips all over them. That's ok though, he didn't mind. So he'll be here for about a week. I think that's going to be just enough time. I'm not exactly a neat freak, but Miguel is particularly sloppy, so I think by the time a week's up, I'll be ready to have my clean house back. I'm not saying I'd rather have a clean house than a life with Miguel, it just makes it easier to say goodbye when I have something to look forward to when he leaves.

Poor little Chloe is sick again. Two nights ago when I put her to bed, I was doing something on the computer, and I kept hearing her cough. She's already on Zyrtec for allergies and Plumicort for asthma, but they don't seem to be helping at all. She's still constantly congested. I have to give her both of them twice a day, and I have to do the Plumicort through a nebulizer, which is simply a joy. And now she's got a really phlegmy cough and this evening she had a fever of 102. I gave her some tylenol, and it dropped pretty quickly. I swear that kid catches EVERYTHING. The entire staff at the doctor's office knows us on a first name basis without looking at any charts. And if she's not any better by tomorrow, I'll probably have to skip class and take her to the doctor. I can hear her cough right now, and it sounds like we'll be paying a visit to Dr. Viji tomorrow. Poor little muffin cake.

I got my glass tiles today. I've been trying to decide how I'm going to use them in my layout. This picture is one possibility. Anyway, I need to get to bed.
