cute - go to the random url site and it'll plug in a random word from its dictionary, add a .com to it and take ya to whatever site might happen...'tis amazing what's out there on the web...

hopefully momma's gonna get out of the hospital today...then she'll be off work another week...she's certainly making use of that short-term disability thang...

talked with her gastro doc yesterday, and he said what i pretty much already knew - adam should get checked for CF, but unless he comes back with a positive diagnosis, i probably don't need to be screened, since i don't exhibit any of the symptoms...

time to try to get some sleep since i have to work tonight...
