Klaeber's glossary defines aglaeca/aeglaeca as monster, demon, fiend when referring to Grendel or Grendel's mother. On the other hand, aglaeca/aeglaeca is translated by Klaeber as warrior, hero when referring to the character, Beowulf.

The Old Shite

Moon Phase

Why Austin will never give me grandkids…

I had started crocheting a baby blanket for my soon-to-be grand-baby.  (from Katey)

Austin laughs and says “Geez Mom, you’re in full-on Granny mode!”  (my Mom is constantly knitting, sewing, etc)

I respond with a sigh, “Maybe I’ll have it done by the time you have a baby.”  (as of this writing the baby better be extremely skinny)

To which he adamantly replies “I’m never having kids!”

And I say “Well… when your wife has a baby.”

Austin – “No way, Mom!  I’m not ever having kids!”

Me – “Why not?”  (and I was asking seriously)

Without so much as a word he rolls his eyes and then looks at me and then looks at the twins… “They’re why!!”

Of course… that should have been obvious, right?! LOL

~~~

Later that day while trying to relax and have a snack two mini-people (who had already eaten their dinner) attacked from both sides ‘meowing’ until I fed them.  I don’t believe that I have ever spoon fed the cat so I’m not sure why they thought that was a good idea.. but I suppose it resulted in them getting fed so I guess I’m the dope!

Timeline of a cold in a closed environment

    Cold season begins…

marcus_neb_30aug09

  • Wednesday – 12-yr old son is sniffling and blowing his nose
  • Thursday morning – 12-yr old son is coughing like an emphesema patient so I take him to the walk-in, antibiotics and albuterol are prescribed (damn inhaler is $45 AFTER insurance)
  • Friday – Boy twin is coughing and girl twin is sniffling
  • Saturday morning – Take twins to the walk-in, albutero with nebulizer is prescribed
  • Saturday night – Vaporizer and heater in the bedroom, twinnies aren’t eating like they should and son one needs to be ‘reminded’ to take his antibiotics — on the up side I think I’m getting enough residual meds that I probably won’t get sick (X crossing fingers X)
  • Sunday – Twinnies REALLY don’t like the nebulizer and it makes them shake and cry and generally unhappy, not sure it’s worth it — spacing the treatments out a little more, added pedialite to the menu so they are at least getting some liquids, Daddy is coughing…ellie_neb_30aug09
