http://heidichronicles.com Life (In London), Medicated Sat, 06 Sep 2008 14:27:03 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post. I had no idea some of you were still around. You've managed to light a fire under my ass, and I seem to be inspired, so I'm going to  write a post dedicated to each one of you completely reneg on ... http://heidichronicles.com/2008/08/29/the-backblogging-begins/ Somehow...somehow...I have successfully managed to lock myself out of BOTH of my Flickr accounts - one of which is a FlickrPro account with unlimited uploading for a year. Yes, very smart of me...very smart. It definitely takes a "special" person to do this sort of thing. Fortunately I can see that ... http://heidichronicles.com/2008/08/15/i-am-one-smart-idiot/ I just spent HOURS over the past five days uploading photos to Flickr, since I can have as many as I want, and now the stupid program won't let me blog them!!! Here I sit with time to do it and no pics to post.  So, SO frustrating. http://heidichronicles.com/2008/08/13/flickr-be-damned/ I'm trying to make a comeback, but it's been more difficult than I'd hoped.  It would be better if I thought any of you actually miss me.   So...do ya?  Hmmm? Damn, I'm just hearing the echo of my own voice. Is anyone still there?  Tell me what you're up to these days ... http://heidichronicles.com/2008/08/05/a-little-encouragement/ We made it - and without much drama, from the children anyway. I can absolutely do the fly-by-myself-with-two-kids thing again. It did suck that when we got to the airport and tried to check in our tickets had been canceled, but fortunately Aaron's dad got us on the overbooked ... http://heidichronicles.com/2008/07/13/were-bah-aaack-have-been-for-a-while-now-oops/ Today Elena went to the emergency room - but only because it is Saturday and there aren't any urgent care centers at Mom and Dad's house. She woke with a fever and it went up to 103.1 early this afternoon.  Since we fly in a week, I didn't want to risk ... http://heidichronicles.com/2008/07/05/at-least-they-wont-think-we-beat-them/ Liam fell yesterday and bonked his head on the coffee table.  We calmly went to our usual emergency room where they remembered us from Elena's last visit, and they did a little fixing. It was AWESOME.  No pain, no stitches. They numbed him with a cotton ball and used the most amazing ... http://heidichronicles.com/2008/07/03/it-wouldnt-be-a-trip-to-the-us-with-out-a-visit-to-the-emergency-room/ We made it.  It was a bit of a mess thanks to the airline, but we're all fine and well. We're in KC until Friday and then we're headed to CA for the weekend.  Looking forward to seeing everyone! http://heidichronicles.com/2008/06/26/were-here-2/ We had a mini birthday party this afternoon for Liam... which was a good thing because prior to their arrival, my two children screaming "MIIIIIIIINE" back and forth at each other made me want to shoot them. And Aaron got home from Milan.  That was a good thing too. But later when he ... http://heidichronicles.com/2008/06/19/canadian-italian-trumps-the-brits/ In true Awesome Nanny fashion, Daniela called today to see if Liam could come play after school. Elena was grumpy all morning, so it was no problem for me to put her down and send Liam on his merry way.  E slept until 4.15 and L ended up eating dinner at ... http://heidichronicles.com/2008/06/18/i-got-spoiled-and-now-i-have-no-patience/ This happened quite a while ago, so it's backblogging, but it's really funny, so I have to post it. ****************************************************************** I've had a rough couple of days. I don't know how I can be so tired and have such a foggy brain. Must have something to do with hormones. ... http://heidichronicles.com/2008/06/17/meet-the-neighbors/ Our awesome nanny, Daniela, has been bringing her other charge, Alfie, over to the house the last couple of weeks when she's supposed to be watching Elena.  I was getting a little irritated with her...up until today when she took Elena to Alfie's and the house...was...silent. It was beautiful.  I got ... http://heidichronicles.com/2008/06/17/the-nanny/ Today Jenn and I took the kids to the park, and on our way, I made a most wonderful purchase:  a Starbucks coffee cup made for iced coffee! Now, I'm not particularly a fan of Starbucks, but I do like to make iced lattes at home and I was so excited ... http://heidichronicles.com/2008/06/16/0616/ http://heidichronicles.com/2008/06/15/at-least-she-likes-to-read/ AJ says that I need to list some of my backblogging since it goes so far back.  I personally think that all 61 of you have probably already read them since you're the ones who still care, but here they are. The New First Commandment: Thou shalt not take ... http://heidichronicles.com/2008/06/14/backblogging/
