teeth, snot, and jury duty

maybe this sounds a little pessimistic...
Ian did actually get his two from teeth for Christmas.
Then, we all shared the nasty cold with the entire extended family.
Then, I was summoned for jury duty.
Then, just this morning, one of the dogs felt the need to vomit three time, each on a different rug.
Oh well, life is like that sometimes.

And then, the sunshine peeks through the rainclouds...

and there is always chocolate!
