• Checking out moodle for school website. Anyone have any experience with it? #
• keeping the kiddo home and hanging out with him today before the chaos that is school begins tomorrow. (Pleeeease pray for a nap later!) #
• Guessing how much $$ is in the coin jar, hitting coinstar (always fun for a 3 yo!) & then letting S pick something fun to do with the $$! #
• Sorting coins – reminds me of looking for wheat pennies with my grandma. We have enough Chuck E Cheese coins to entertain 250 kids. Srsly. #
• Coin total = $44.80. Not too shabby! Sammy still trying to decide what to do. He’s thinking ice cream for lunch! #
• Holy crap, Monchhichis! http://flic.kr/p/6Uor3Z #

• @roshiwife sammy’s fenestration is “generous” and his sats are consistently in the high 60s. I hope we see 90s after it’s closed! in reply to roshiwife #
• @stefcia I got the one tearing apart Ted Kennedy not even 24 hrs after he passed. How they don’t know I’m a bleeding heart lib is beyond me. in reply to stefcia #
• @stefcia Nevermind waiting a bit out of respect for the dead before ripping them to shreds! I don’t even read most of the forwards anymore. in reply to stefcia #
• @stefcia that is such a fun idea! Maybe we’ll steal it for this year. #
• Blowing bubbles at the MOS http://flic.kr/p/6TJ3×6 #
• @Kerry_Bishop so jealous! have fun! Forgot you were gone – I have to trust my hair to someone else for my 1st day of school cut??? Eeek! in reply to Kerry_Bishop #

• Almost 1am, still awake, been rescuing Sammy from apparent nightmares. Contemplating giving up on sleep & doing some planning for class. #fb #
• As prepared as I’m going to be for students on Tuesday. At least I don’t have to come in Monday, tho knowing me, I will anyway. #
• Anyone absolutely love The Glass Menagerie? DM please. Dept-wide choice, not in love with it yet. Would love to know what you love abt it! #
• Struggling w/learning the date for Sammy’s cath. Wonderful heart friends’ DD just had hers this morning. Taking comfort in how well she did. #
• Found this note to myself from his last cath: “I didn’t handle this as well as I thought I might. Next time, take more Ativan. A LOT more.” #
• Sammy wants to be a ghost for halloween. Easiest costume EVER. Woo hoo! #
• At a party a S’s school, all kids dancing in a circle, my kid goes into the middle and starts breakdancing. I KID YOU NOT. I have video. #fb #
• @LisalynSchaffer I’ve been saying that since the norwood. A round of versed for the whole family! in reply to LisalynSchaffer #
• @roshiwife yeah, sammy’s been fenestrated since last may. Lots of mixing = low low sats. PC said it’s time to close it. in reply to roshiwife #

• @Jen_Henderson have a great time. Hope you get what you need from the trip *hug* in reply to Jen_Henderson #

• @alicenadams we’re planning on it! What time is good for you? Out of work at 2:30, J not until 5ish, tho he’s only 20min from CHB. in reply to alicenadams #
• @alicenadams S and I will likely come in for 4ish. We can meet up or head into city for bit and meet up closer to dinner. in reply to alicenadams #
• @Indreni me too! Can’t ever change PBS special when I catch it. Mom is a HUGE fan – grew up listening to him. #
• @theworkingmom Thanks. always helps to know people are supportive and caring in reply to theworkingmom #
• @twinmommy2boys I know! Have a hard time following some heart kids. So much want to be supportive, but emotionally rough sometimes too. #
• @stefcia thank you! So kind of you to run 2 miles for me after running 2 for yourself. Me and my lazy arse appreciate it. in reply to stefcia #
• Gotta love that Boston accent: “The Red Sox made some rastah moves last night.” Picturing Papelbon with dreads. #fb #
• Head.spinning. #
• This can’t be real! RT @tenthmuse @spokesnwheels Ladies and Gents… I give you Facebook Fail — http://twitpic.com/fddo1 #
• No, I don’t have ADD, tyvm. I’m just a highly energetic multitasker. Or a super anxious scatterbrain. Depends on the day. I think. Hrm. #fb #
• So very wiped out.. and school hasn’t even officially started yet! #fb #

• Sammy just sat up in his sleep and said, “See mom? THAT’S the white room I’ve been talking about!” (Too much Wonkavision, anyone?) #fb #
• Cheezits are a staple at our staff mtgs, me = no willpower. Googled “ww points Cheezits”. Found, “Don’t eat Cheez-Its on a damn diet.” #fb #
• @nhweas ooooh! I didn’t realize you guys start this week! Happy first day, keegan! in reply to nhweas #
• Nothing like a video of medical rounds on a pediatric patient in a staff meeting (talking abt instructional rounds) to send me over the edge #
• Way to start my first day back – crying in the girls’ room. Thought I was handling upcoming cath better than this. Apparently not. #
• @debrajean just brought out the 2nd bottle of wine and her old lit crit papers. Off to get mine. J fleeing the attack of the English majors. #
• @debrajean & I just recited, from memory, ee cummings’ “since feeling is first”. Discussing Mary Oliver and rumi. Memories of CW workshops. #

• Had to leave the office. Everyone too stressed out. It ain’t pretty. Going to take some time to shake off the black cloud. #
• @lalagirl727 Too funny, was JUST reading OS quotes! Just combination of major site visits/everyone having personal crises all at once. in reply to lalagirl727 #
• Ahhh, the good (holy $*#@!!!) burn of a handful of cinnamon altoids. #
• 2 pairs of adorable Sofft heels for me and a pair of Keen boots for Sammy – total: $25. I heart Marshalls! #
• Contemplating the 3 story twisty slide.. http://flic.kr/p/6SwY1q #
• Sammy just had his first poprocks. I forgot how much fun they are! #fb #
• My patience with work is quickly dwindling, and the school year hasn’t even begun. Sigh. #
• 2 things: I am watching Willy Wonka for the 1,000,000th time in weeks. Sammy is eating his 1,000,000th chicken nugget. No. Really. #fb #

• First time bowling http://flic.kr/p/6S6pzz #
• At Brunswick Lanes. I might actually break 100 for once! Sure, it’s bumper bowling, but whatever. #
• How much am I loving that the bowling alley is playing every Def Leppard song ever? Armageddon It, baby! Bowling it old skool! #
• @druzba How on earth have you never seen Enemy Mine? #
• In an act of desperation, we just tried to convince Sammy to eat more corn using the “same in, same out” explanation. Didn’t work. Poop !#fb #
• And in a desperate attempt to get S to gain weight, I brought double stuff oreos into the house. Bets on how many S eats vs how many J eats? #
• Oreos! http://flic.kr/p/6Sfjmu #
• Sammy’s “milkshake” – 1/2 evap milk, 1/2 whole milk, 1 pkt carnation mix = 355/cal for 8oz. Try to get in 2 a day now. Fun times! #
• @Luna_We Yogurt is only about 200 cals much heavier, too, can’t drink as much. Evap milk seems to be the key – 150 cal in 4oz! in reply to Luna_We #
• @3bundlesforme No kidding! And the sugar high from the oreos was crazy. We’ll have to try the clif bars. in reply to 3bundlesforme #
• Card suggested we see nutrionist for S. No weight gain in 6+ month. Still barely 28lbs at 3 1/2. Hoping closing the fenestration helps. #chd #
• Incredibly energetic, esp considering o2 sats are 70. Not sure if he’s just burning being a wildman. Still, no weight gain is a concern #chd #
• @divrchk Not sure. Jay heard 36 1/2″, I heard 37 1/2. Last check at home was 36″. Slow gain from last vist, but still a gain. He’s a peanut. in reply to divrchk #
• @altairimage we have a running joke about sammy’s pc. I swear, the nurses swoon when he walks in! The ICU nurses loved that he was S’s PC in reply to altairimage #
• @altairimage I mean, sure, he looks like George Clooney, is super nice and oh yeah, is a PC. Heh. @luna_we knows who I’m talking about! in reply to altairimage #
• @altairimage lol! Seriously, the nurses ran to fix their lipsticks when they knew he was coming. Even our moms swooned when he showed up! in reply to altairimage #
