there's a salamander in my slipper!: yay!

yay!

Those 3 holiday pounds are gone, which is great! I'm not so great today, however. I've just been really exhausted the past few days. I feel like my immune system is fighting something off, and it's just wiping me out. After today's workout, I felt glazed over with tiredness. Consequently, I don't have anything scintillating to say right now. Hope everyone has a great weekend! Wish me luck - I'm planning to take down my Christmas decor...

Patty O. said...: I am also feeling totally wiped out today. I don't know if it is the excess sugar I enjoyed or what, but I could so totally take a nap right now. Unfortunately, both the kids are home and they (and Bil) all expect some dinner tonight. Oh well, once Bil is home, he'll help with the more energy-sapping activities, like playing with the kids...; January 9, 2009 at 3:56 PM
Anonymous said...: There must be something going around. I've been exhausted (took a 2 hour nap today) and ANdy stayed home sick from work. Jack has been vomiting and diarrheatic since last Friday, which is why we weren't at MOPS yesterday. Try to get as much rest as you can!; January 9, 2009 at 5:39 PM

There was once an actual salamander in my Dad’s slipper (His house is in a rather wooded area and is a haven to many non-human creatures.), and my best friend and I thought that would make a great children’s book title. We never wrote the book, but I figured I might as well put the catchy phrase to use as my blog title. Why not? (We don't know for sure if it was really a salamander vs. some other kind of lizardlike creature, but we were going for the alliteration. Artistic license, ya know?)
