Loved
* the out-of-town trip I took for work to St. Cloud/St. Joseph
* dipping my legs in the hot tub of the hotel
* watching the Housewives of Orange County marathon
* that I remembered to bring tea
* Joseph and Jon were cool without me for two days
* Having my brother Eric visit for a long weekend
* the awesome relationship that is developing between Joseph and Grandma T (my stepmom)
* that Eric is head-over-heals for Joe
* taking Joseph on his first sled ride
* watching the puzzled look on Joseph's face when we sang "Happy Birthday" to him
* laughing hysterically during the games we played
* how well Joseph handled the long car rides
* the Neti pot for keeping my sinuses clear
* Jon's CT scan checked out okay (good birthday)
* Joseph's no longer throwing a fit when I leave him at daycare
Not so much
* Having (another!) cold/sinus infection

* that I sat on my butt for most of the week
