give your meat

vacation day 1: failure

First day off of work and Tonchan off of school; the start of a great adventure in father-daughter bonding...failed utterly. Tonchan and P had a bit of a stomach thing last week and now it was my turn. Went out a bit in the morning and then by the time we met P for lunch I was feeling miserable. Took a taxi home and Tonchan passed out. Got home and we both napped for an hour. Tonchan woke up screaming for mama and I could barely crawl into the bedroom and die on the futon, so I had to call P and have her come home early.
Slept all day, all night, and all day again. Feels like the flu -- achy joints, cold and shivery but hot, not hungry at all. Also feels like exactly what I had last year around New Year's. Would prefer this to not be an annual event.
Hopefully will be ok tomorrow and Tonchan and I can go check out the Kids Castle or something fun...assuming she can tolerate being with me all day without mom!

The yearly event that is the Yoshida X-Mas Party was a fine event as always. Plenty of good food and lots of other kids for the Tonchabeast to make mayhem with!

There comes a time in every parent's life when your kid goes running around the apartment post-bath naked, has diarrhea, and tears down the hall into the bedroom leaving a stinky messy trail. At least she grabbed some tissues to help clean up afterwards.

Had the first of several Bonenkai (end of year) parties.
This one was with Hoho, one of our new graddies joining next year, and her college buddy.
Bonenkai literally means "forget the year" and there is plenty about 2008 I'd like to forget!
