Well, for all the mistakes they made along the way ("they" being American Idol voters), at least the right David won last night. My faith is restored...for now.
In other news, our dear little Monkey has had a cough for seven weeks. (yes you read that right. hey, why is this all underlined? stupid blogger.) On Tuesday we spent the evening at the clinic and came away with a tentative diagnosis of mild asthma. This is not what we wanted to hear. I know that lots of kids grow out of asthma by the time they start school, and I know that there are lots of worse things that could be wrong, but it feels like it's going to be a long haul. On the upside, he was prescribed medication and after only the first dose, he slept through the night until 6:30. This is nothing short of a miracle. The poor thing has been waking up from his cough multiple times per night. But the great thing about my Monkey is that he is always in good spirits.
And in other other news, we got new neighbours across the street. Last night our street was swarmed (I really mean swarmed) with people who had come to help them move in. My guess is that they are here straight from Germany. They had what appeared to be a shipping container filled with pallets of stuff (seriously, stop it with the underlining....) There is a very large German community in this area which is growing all the time. I'm sure their helpers were recent immigrants themselves. I'll tell you one thing, they made short work of the unloading. We weren't able to discern which people would actually be living in the house, but I saw a 7 or 8 year old boy there this evening. I will have to go over next week and introduce myself. (There, I wrote it in my blog, now I'll have to do it.)
Take care, happy weekend. We're planning our first wiener roast of the season tomorrow.

I hate it when blogger does that too.
I hope Monkey's asthma isn't too bad. I know from being on a Pulmonology floor for a week that it is a bigger problem than I had formerly thought.
We have new neighbors across the street too. They had to come over to my house (I wasn't home) because they locked themselves outside and their baby (or small child) was still inside. They called the police and I assume it all turned out well.
That is intersting that you have a German community nearby.
Two of my kids have asthma, and it's required nothing more serious than The Girl occasionally using an inhaler. I wish they didn't have it, but it's never actually been a big deal.
I hope your new neighbours are lovely!
Glad you still like us:) Sorry to hear about the MOnkey's asthma but at least you know what it is now and can treat him.
Well hooray for finally having an 'answer.' I'm sorry to hear it's asthma but hopefully by 'mild' the doctor really meant 'almost non-existent.' And hey, sleeping THROUGH the night!? Ahh!!! That's WONDERFUL!!
We'll be interested to hear about the meeting of the neighbours. There. Now you REALLY have to go over!
