Since Steve has mentioned the St. Joseph's day card, I must inquire--did any of the Joseph's receive a grandma and grandpa card. I believe we received Bazooka Joe's card as it was signed Aunt Helen and Uncle Vito. So I thought one of the other Joe's got MoJo's.

This has been a nasty week for the Great Lakes Mastandrea Clan. Strep has swept the house. Mojo got it first then last Saturday--Cookie fell prey. I thought I was being on the ball and took him to a DOCS in A BOX and started his treatment. Unfortunately they gave him Augmentin, which I really don't think they should prescribe to humans. First, you have to eat it with food and even if you do, you get the runs and upset stomach. Needless to say Cookie took one dose and spit it at me. So it was back to the real doctor on Monday where Cookie so traumatized by the Augmentin fiasco, agreed to a shot of penicillin rather than take any medicine. This made the poor kid limp for about two days as the nurse shot him in the thigh. That night, in a matter of about an hour, Cookie managed to pee the bed twice and then throw up. He was unable to attend school for the entire week as he was running a fever. Finally after Castaway Bay on Friday, I took him back to the doctor who pronounced that Cookie now had an infected ear and sinuses. So Cookie had to take medicine-but at least this wasnt nearly as nasty. I then had to work on Saturday from 6:00 am to noon. From there, I went to Docs in the Box where it was found that I too suffered from an ear infection and sinus infection. Anyway...all is under control.

I was thinking of the Balderdash occasion and if I'm thinking right, Cookie was still cooking in me and Mojo wasn't even a reality. Wow.
