Okay, well it isn't THAT early, but early enough (8:30am). My little bubba is still sawing logs which is a great sign. I hope he wakes up and asks for pancakes or something for breakfast. He ate a bowl of cereal and a few peaches and bites of toast yesterday, but that is far from the typical appitite of my good little eater. We found out Sunday that he has ROTO (sp?) Virus. I guess most kids are immunized for it now, but it wasn't available when he was a baby and most kids get it before they are two anyway. Whooo, we almost missed the two year window. Boy, did we luck out. We had to post pone his bday party and he is so sad that he hasn't been able to play with his cousin, (not to mention that I have total cabin fever being at home so much!!) He is on day six of his illness, so hopefully the light at the end of the tunnel is so close I can touch it.
And we all have horrible coughs. I don't know if they are connected to what J has or just a bonus. I finally slept well last night. I took an Ambien and went down about 9pm. I got up about 8am. Let me tell you, I needed some good sleep. It has been very trying for me to deal with a really sick, onery little boy when I feel crummy, tired and hormonal. I should have had the genius idea to do this days ago.
So, the major dilemma in my life lately has to do with the ideal double stroller. It is amazing to me that no one has created one, as far as I have determined. I have come pretty close to finding one though. It is compact (the size of a jogger) which is one of my main criteria. If I put one of those huge double things in the back of my car I would have no space for anything else. This one I am looking at drives well, is kinda stylish in a stroller sort of way and I might actually use it. If any of you have any other wisdom about doubles, pass it on. I am new at this, so I am open to suggestions. The only downfall to this stroller is the price. It is pricey, but I have put a lot of thought into this issue and her is how I see it...is it better to buy the cheaper stroller that is so big and awkward that you would never use it, or invest in a more expensive on that will get used a ton. I walk a lot and JAckson is still young enough that he has to be strollered or he gets into lots of mischeif. Anywho, here is the picture of it. Let me know what your thoughts are. Oh, and I know this picture only shows the single, so here is a link that shows how the double setup works.
Did you all read about the shooting in the Trolley Square Mall? There are so many psychos in this world and how tragic for all those innocent people who were just out shopping. It doesn't seem like it is safe to go anywhere anymore!
Off to get ready for my day. It is almost 9am now and J is still sleeping.

Stace--okay, duh. When I asked about your money-making schemes before, I knew you were doing hair, I just thought you were already doing the bow thing too, or something.
As for the double stroller, I would get the best that you can afford. You can always sell it by consignment or something later, and you are right: if it doesn't work, you won't use it. We had one that barely fit in our trunk and we never used it. It was about a 75 dollar stroller than we bought marked down to 25 dollars, then we sold it for 15 at a yard sale. That's the great thing about kids' stuff.
I have toyed with many ideas before, they just don't always pan out. We will see this time.
I am so sorry about Jackson and the evil Rotavirus :0(...
I have had many different double strollers...my favorite is the Maclaren Rally Twin. Doesn't really work for little babies though.
Hi Staci!
I actually see the stroller quite often used around here in Seattle. There are also many european and asian models that are REALLY popular, but I can't remember the brand names...
I say go for it! The kids that I've seen stuck in that little back lower seat seem to be happy that they can see to the sides, but not in front of them.
