Updates

Not much for the check-in.  Taunt is up to 16k - barely.  Things will get back on track, I'm just exhausted right now.  Check out the rest of the participants here.


My daughter is home, yay.  Her burns are healing well (so they tell me, they look awful to me) and she didn't pick up a bug in hospital after all.  Little panickers.  She's kind of bored and afraid to use her hands but she's *gasp* using her imagination to entertain herself.  She's still paranoid about anyone touching her wounds.  If the twins even look in her direction, I hear a high-pitched shriek.  Mammy!  They're going to touch my belly!

Her hair is a mass of tangles (for reference, her hair was perfect when we left the hospital.  Fifteen minutes in the car and it was a ball of knots).  It's like her hair goes, ooh, they're not looking, let's screw with their heads and tangle ourselves until we look nice and matted.  That never been brushed look is so in right now.  It looks like she'll be fine by her birthday so that's a relief.  We're just trying to get back to normal right now.

  1. Glad to hear that your daughter's doing well :) Looks like your work is progressing well, so even if you have this week off, I'm sure you'll catch up quickly.

  2. Sorry to hear about your daughter, but glad she is doing well. My mom gave up on me and my sister's hair and cut it short. We used to look back at our pictures and pine over our long hair days.

  4. Oh, it's hard to concentrate on anything else when the little ones are hurting. I wish you all the speediest of recoveries.

    It's amazing that you're hanging in at all....

    Here's my ROW 80 POST

  5. Thanks gang. She's been cranky today but I don't blame her, she's really uncomfortable.

    @Jessica, she keeps asking can she have short hair like her brother but I would be the one pining if I let her!

  7. Thanks fellow Claire. I'm now at the "thankful it wasn't worse" stage so no more moaning. *Swears* ;)

  8. So happy she's doing well and that you're getting back to normal-ish. :) My son uses his beautiful hair as a napkin. They will wish they had such nice hair when they get older!

  10. So glad to hear your daughter is home. You won't be able to focus on your writing until she's more settled anyway, so just take in the full-on mom duty while it's here :-) Hope you get some rest!!!

  11. This Claire often has matted hair, so I sympathize. I don't bother with a brush anymore, just a comb through when wet and use fingers after that. It doesn't make my rats nest look any better but neither does it make it worse and it's certainly less fuss. LOL

  12. My kids come first. It's the only thing that will stand in the way of my writing, so I understand about your ROW80 progress. Besides, I can't write when I'm stressing.

    As far as tangles, I used No More Tangles spray when my daughter was little. Helped save us both. :)

  13. As everyone has said, I'm glad your daughter is doing better. It's amazing you still got work done. I don't have any kids, so I can't imagine what that's like. Had to have been a rough week.

  14. Thanks all. I've been trying to write, while she sleeps mostly, but I keep getting flashbacks so it isn't working well. :) I'm not worried though, as long as she's okay I don't mind.

    My daughter is over it, evidenced by her thumping her brother with her burned hands. LOL.

    @ Claire, my hair gets matted easily too - just not as fast as hers. :)
