Yesterday was a cranky, cranky day around here. Accalia developed a very snotty nose, which seems to be getting better today. She must not have been feeling good because every little thing was setting her off. Usually she lets most things slide, but yesterday she was going into a deadly silent pout with everything from me not cutting the wings of her paper ladybug the right size to not having the food she thought we had in the house.

Today has started out much, much better. Right now she's splashing around in the bathtub with a collection of plastic fish while Cole stands by the tub screaming at her. This is the second bath of the day for her. She had dance class this morning and was measured for her bunny costume. That was exciting stuff :)

We're all going to the chiropractor this afternoon after Cory is home from work. Looking forward to that.

Our families have some rather serious medical issues right now. My sister in law Kathy (married to my older brother, Anthony) told us that her step-mom has been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer - in the breast and a lymph node. I don't know much more than that, other than they'll be doing both chemo and radiation.

Cory's mom has been in the hospital since the weekend. Now the doctors don't think she has diverticulitis, but they have no idea what's going on. They removed a bunch of fluid from her abdomen yesterday. So it looks like we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving with Cory's family at the hospital. I can't imagine that Cory's mom will be up to seeing all of the grandchildren and other people crowded into her hospital room, but his dad's pretty insistent that we are all together so that his mom doesn't feel bad about "ruining" Thanksgiving.

Kiddos are hungry now, so I'd better take care of that.
