Today was also shot day. The rabies is a series of several shots given on day 0,3,7,14&28. Today was day 14, handy that it is also the 14th of September. The kids are becoming old pros at this. Barely any tears were shed today. Daniel had a few and so did Sarah but both were composed before coming back into the holding room. From the adults perspective this one hurt more than the others. Not the going in part, but the after tenderness. Doug can really feel it in his muscles and I am, for the first time, feeling something similar. I am so glad we only have one more to go. We were just all feeling better when we had to go back again. They don't make us sick necessarily, but there is tenderness at the site and we are edgy and moody for a few days. It seems to really mess with Doug's muscle system, probably something to do with the Malignant Hyperthermia. We did the shots after Violin today, which means we didn't get to the Hospital until 5:30pm. It only took an hour today. Then we went to get a movie and pizza. I think the kids like shot day. They get lots of treats.
The picture below is of the kids watching their movie. We rented "Everyones Hero" an animated movie about a boy named Yankee and his quest to return Babe Ruth's bat Darlin'. The kids loved it. It would be one to own, seeing how the boys are huge baseball fans. Doug and I rented "Wild Hogs" and "Pathfinder". We also have the first two seasons of "Smallville" to watch so we are set. So I am going to get off the computer and go watch a movie!! See ya!!

im just gonna throw this out there, and I am NOT A COOK, but why can't you just use fresh tomatoes in any recipe instead of canned tomatoes? I mean, sounds like it would just make average sauce taste better. who knows? maybe thats why i dont cook.
We loved smallville we named our dog Lex....
Yes, you can use fresh tomatoes for any recipe that calls for canned. Romas are the best for most canned stuff, but if you have the big fat ones, just be ready to add a small can of paste the day you make the sauce, if needed. Or else it might turn out watery. My mom cans the tomatoes just as crushed tomatoes, (you can also crush and freeze them) and then when you want to make sauce, thaw it out and make it fresh that day. I'll have to ask her for the recipe. Of course, if you don't have all day to plan to make spaghetti, the "Ball" and "Mrs. Wages" packets are quite handy. You make them when you can or freeze, then just dump it in a pan when you are ready to make supper. You can find them at most grocery stores and some fruit and vege markets. BTW, I'm still pregnant and very close to drinking a bottle of castor oil to end this ordeal!
