Are ya serious, Clark?

As you can tell by the look in this photo C is feeling crummy--just a cold, but icky still.  Side note: my college friend who lives in Seattle got him this cute Seattle Sounders jersey.

So it's one of those days that started out okay, but spiraled out of control.  I got a full night's sleep (first all week due to C feeling funky), so that was good.  We had a play date--obviously good.  Around 4 I went out to clear off the snow/ice/slush from our deck since a lot of melting occured today.  It was coming off easily.  Yipeee!

Bad #1: I noticed where the deck looked bad before I restained it this summer now looks worse than ever--so much for restaining.  This was just annoying.

Bad # 2: I kept heard a funny dripping noise.  I look up at the sound, and I discover part of our gutter has separated from the siding, and water is just dripping straight down over the flashing--this is REALLY BAD!  We need this fixed asap, but I don't know who to call. 

Bad # 3: the basement guy still hasn't come to try to fix the basement (yet again)-which he came over before xmas to discuss. 

Bad #4: C was acting out terribly tonight--he was throwing stuff, kicking furniture, crying to watch tv (his new obsession). 

Bad #5: I discovered my eye seemed gooey all of a sudden while I was getting C ready for bed.  I thought I just had an eyelash in my eye or something.  As soon as I cleared it, there was more goo.  I went to take out my contact, and as soon as it came out my eye felt like sandpaper.  Either I've got a cut eye or a killer eye infection.  I haven't had an eye infection for 10 years, but the last one was a killer--I almost had corneal problems b/c of it.  Now I've got to figure out if I can get in w/the eye doctor tomorrow before I leave for St. Louis--plus I have to get the house amazing for our open house. 

Virtual gripe: this sucks!  And it's really getting old.  Plus my eye hurts like hell.  I think there's a person shoveling ice from it.  The other one's starting feel funky, too.  AHHHHHH! 

On the plus side, I snapped a couple cute photos last night and tonight. 

All bundled up in his new hat, scarf, and gloves.  I got new ones so they would survive playing in the snow. 

My little soccer star.
