Hey there blog friends,
Sorry I haven't updated in a while. We were away on vacation down in Virginia Beach and just got back early this morning. We got a late start on our ride home yesterday and didn't actually get home until after 4:00 this morning. I'm pretty tired today so I'm not going to post anything. I hope to update and get some pictures added in the next day or two so check back in a couple of days.
Have a good one,
Janice

A Little Tidbit of Information
Here's a little factoid I thought you all may be interested in.
A computer keyboard harbors more germs than a toilet seat.
According to a University of Arizona study, office workstations are much dirtier than bathrooms. A computer keyboard can harbor up to 3,295 microbes per square inch, a computer mouse 1,676. Telephones were the worst culprit, with 25,127 microbes. By contrast, the average toilet seat contains only 49 microbes per square inch.
I probably don't clean my keyboard as often as I should, but I do clean it at least once a month with wintergreen scented alcohol. It gives it a nice fresh scent, LOL.
So, how many of you will be cleaning your keyboards today? ☺

My Long Sleepless Night
Last night, while watching TV, I fell asleep on the couch. I don't think I slept very long, maybe an hour or so, but when I woke up I was wide awake and couldn't fall back to sleep. Mark, Ashley and Cora had all gone to bed and were sleeping but Cora woke up crying and was really hot with a fever. She had been feverish all day because of a big giant molar breaking through her bottom gums. Ashley got up and gave her some Ibuprofen but just that little bit of being awake was enough for her to not be able to get back to sleep either. Ashley brought her in her bed with her, shut the door and off to the land of Zzzz's she went, and I'm not talking about Cora. So now, there I was, out in the living room, lights out, TV on, watching, Look Who's Talking, and I hear a little voice calling, Mimi, Mimi, Meeem. Then I heard the tiniest little clinking of the doorknob trying to be opened. I got up, opened the door and there stood Cora, wide awake. She looked up at me with a big smile and said, "HI" can I come out there with you and watch TV, I can't sleep either? Well, you know she didn't really say that, but if she could talk, I think that's what she would have said. She stayed with me for a while and finally at 2 or 2:30am, I put her in her crib and she fell asleep. Me, on the other hand, went back to the couch and proceeded to watch television.
By now, the movie was over, and I was just clicking around looking
for something to watch. My stomach was growling and I was extremely tempted to get up and get something to eat but I resisted the urge because I felt guilty eating in the middle of the night. Guilty about what, I do not know, I guess it's just the way my mind is conditioned to think. Maybe it goes back to my childhood or something. "If you eat too late, you'll get a belly ache." LOL, that sounds like something my mom would say. I did however, get up and eat that cookie I had left on the counter earlier in the evening. Not for any other reason except for that it was there. LOL
It was about 4:00am when I finally went to bed. I had watched Chuck Norris selling his exercise machine. Then there was another exercise machine that you could try out in your home for 90 days free of charge. Then I came across the bible on DVD that you could watch and listen to in the comfort of your home. After that, Melissa Gilbert was selling some line of makeup. I kept glancing over at my computer wanting to use it but then thought, that is so lame Janice, just get up and go to bed. So I did. I don't think I was in bed a full five minutes, when I heard Mark get up for work but when I glanced at the clock, it was 7:30. It seemed like I had just closed my eyes and now it was time to get up.
It's now late afternoon and I'm seriously paying for last night's insomnia. My head is aching and I'm debating whether I should make myself a cup of coffee. I had planned on trying to squeeze in a little nap but Cora is having a bad teething day today and is just not able to sleep herself. In fact, at this very moment, I can hear her whining and shaking the side of the crib, calling, Mimi, Mimi, Mimi. It certainly doesn't sound urgent so I'll let it go for a few more minutes and hope she'll lay herself down and sleep for a bit.
Well, that's about it for today. Not very exciting I know, but hey, what can I say, I'm tired, LOL.
Take care,
