I worked this morning, and towards the end of the shift, I started getting a strange feeling like a lump in my throat.  Nothing seems to have brought it on, and nothing seems to make it feel better.  But it pretty much persisted all day long, off and on.

This afternoon, we went to Daybreak's "Fizz Fest."  But it wasn't really all that exciting for me or the kids.  My parents and Emily and Mike and Lainey came along too.  We had kindof an awful dinner at the place that used to be San Gelato, and then the girls all shopped while the boys sat on a bench.  We came home, and Maddy got to sleep in bed with Mommy, and I stayed up and watched football.
