Yay! I’m not alone.

Wah! I’m not unique. 😉

My weekend in three subjects

I have many thoughts spinning in my head from the past weekend. I’m going to try to organize them here.

Conventions:
In the past couple of weeks Howard has recieved solicitations to attend several conventions. Most of these conventions are willing to pay his way. This makes me happy. Howard loves to attend conventions. It also shows that Howard is gradually gaining a reptuation as a fantastic convention guest. One conventions even specifically requested that I come along too. I attended it with Howard last summer and did a panel which apparently impressed them. This makes me very glad. I loved doing that panel and would love the chance to attend more conventions and be on more panel discussions. Unfortunately most of the conventions inviting Howard are still relatively small and Howard isn’t yet a major draw, so we can’t start hitting them up for airfare for two people yet. And I can’t be running off from the kids every month either. But some day I’ll go with Howard to every convention he attends.

Babies:
My sister’s baby was adorable. Every time I held the baby or heard the baby cry it triggered all my mommy nurturing instincts. But now I’m home and happy to have my own kids without having to manage the schedule of a newborn as well. I’m even happier to not be dealing with all the body and hormonal shift problems that come naturally during the post partum period. My body is my own. Yay!

Strep:
Kiki came down with strep the day before we left for Boise. Fortunately we were able to get her medicated and non-contagious before we left. Unfortunately Link tested positive for strep this morning. Now I get the joyful duty of calling my family and telling them I may have given them a surprise gift to take home with them. I really hope no one else gets sick. I’ve only been to two big family events this year and both times my kids had communicable diseases to share. Whee.
