Happy Thanksgiving! or TJ ER #3

I hope you and yours had a very happy turkey day! TJ spent some more time at the ER. He had this weird rash which was not getting better with Benadryl and time. So Sue took him to the ER and they said it was a viral infection and will go away on its own. We thought it might be either new and improved laundry detergent or a reaction to the amoxicilin. The ER doctor said probably not to both but it could be the amoxicilin. What do doctors no? If any doctors read this - I'm not talking about you. Anyway, Sue and TJ were home in like an hour or so and TJ is now resting comfortably. Will we make it to Disney without any more illnesses?

Our Little Monkey is Walking

I know it's been a while since I uploaded videos, sorry about that. Here is one from Halloween with TJ dressed as a monkey. As you can see he was already walking. He started in October at about 10 1/2 months.

Golfer Disqualifies Himself

You gotta hand it to this guy. If only we were all this honest. I'm not sure that most people would have done what he did. And on the other hand, golf has some of the dumbest rules ever. Sorry all you golfers out there but it's true.

TJ Visits the ER #2

We took TJ to the ER yesterday because he had a fever near 103 and his doctor was closing. It turns out that TJ has the beginnings of Pneumonia and he is now taking medicine for the next 10 days. The poor boy is very lethargic and his temperature is going up and down depending on time of day and when he had his Tylenol. Certainly not as exciting a trip as when he split that thing in between his gum and lips but no fun nonetheless. Two plus hours with all 4 of us at the ER. Fun times!

Great Holiday Gift

For the Mets fan that has everything. It makes a wonderful Xmas gift. It's the Mets Coffin. What will they think of next!

Dear Santa (and Sue),

Please do not get me the Mets coffin for Xmas. Tickets to opening day at Citi Field would be much better. If I get the coffin, I will take this as a very bad sign. If I wasn't good, please just give me coal like Callie got last year.

Thank you.

Xmas Music 2008

Now I know I went through this last year because XM radio started playing Xmas music on November 1st. Well this weekend on 106.7 Lite FM they are playing Xmas music. Why? I really don't understand it. Are people dying to hear Xmas music already? If so, just get out your CDs and your MP3s and listen. But all weekend on the radio? Give me a break!

Veterans Day

I just want to say thank you to all veterans out there for protecting our country and allowing us to continue to have the freedom we worked so hard to get. Special thanks to those that I know serving in the armed forces - Robby Allen in the USMC, Phil Farry in the Navy and my cousin Eric Tuller in the reserves. Also my Aunt and Uncle Val and Jordan Tuller who served and to anyone I may have missed - Thank You.

23 Days til Disney

It's hard to believe that in about 3 weeks we will be in Disney World. We've been looking forward to this all year and it's almost here. Jessica can't wait to go on the tea cups, and Sue and I can't wait to see how excited Jess is when she meets all her favorite princesses and characters.

Election Day

As I write this, it looks like Obama's lead is big enough to get him to the magical 270 votes. I don't know why anyone would want to be President because it seems like a thankless job. Lots of perks but lots of aggravation. And it looks like the toll 4 years takes on your body is like 20. Ugh!
And what about that electoral college thing. I still don't like it. I think everyone's vote should count the same, but that's just my opinion. I hope everyone voted.
