Hey guys! I know that I’ve been really absent from LJ lately, and I have so much to catch up on when it comes to all of you. I’m sorry. I’m trying though, really!

I know that everyone is doing fundraiser stuff this time of year, but I am too, and I know that there is no better way to spread the word and get donations than the internet. Don’t feel like you have to donate, but if you can spare a few dollars and would like to, it would be greatly appreciated.

I am a captain for a March of Dimes team for a walk that is taking place on April 25th, and a walker for a Relay for Life team for a walk that is taking place on June 18th. For the March of Dimes event, both boys are also signed up to participate as walkers, so I’m actually just going to link to their donation pages. For the Relay for Life event, I’ll link you to my personal page.

I know the economy is tough right now, but as someone pointed out to me, babies don’t stop being born early just because we can’t afford them. The same with cancer; people don’t stop getting sick just because they can’t afford healthcare. Both these organizations do a lot to promote research and wellbeing. The money raised by the March for Babies goes to helping women have healthy, full-term pregnancies and funding research to find answers to the problems that face all babies. The money raised by Relay for Life goes to the American Cancer Society for help finding cures, helping people get well, and helping people stay well.

Again, don’t feel like you need to donate. I know that we all have other obligations and causes we personally support. However, if you are interested, here are the links:

Didn't go to work today b/c Ronnie is sick; he seems to have picked up some stomach bug over the weekend. (Davey was actually sick on Saturday, but James told me he was fine. I think James may have glossed over the situation a little bit. Also, Ronnie is always way more whiny than Davey, so there is that.)

I'm gonna go test drive a Sable tomorrow. I know it's essentially a Ford with a different logo, and I keep saying I don't want a Ford, but I can get a pretty awesome deal on it and the guy is trustworthy. So, we shall see. I am going to miss my van SO MUCH though.

Back to work tomorrow. I'm on special project for the rest of the month, though, so that's pretty okay. Amy's in training through Wednesday, so I don't have her to distract me.

Um, how about some links?

So, whatever, William’s young, and nervous – and Gabe kind of scares the shit out of him – but he’s not going to let that stop him from seducing Gabe. Again.

Via [livejournal.com profile] wendy, who got it from [livejournal.com profile] missyjack: Assistant Director Kevin Parks of the Supernatural crew is taking part in the "Ride to Conquer Cancer" from Vancouver to Seattle in June. He's doing this in honor of Kim Manners.

From Kevin's donation page: Doing this ride became important for me because of all the family, friends and co-workers that have had their lives impacted by this horrible disease. In particular, we said good-by to our good friend, mentor, and intrepid director Kim Manners this year. I am cycling in his honor. The time and effort it takes to do this ride is nothing compared to the courage and energy it takes to fight cancer.

His goal is to raise a mere $2,500 and that seems like a goal SPN fans easily could both meet and exceed. This is a good cause, please consider making a donation, large or small. You can find out more information and donate here. Spread the word!

Peta2 announced the winners of their 4th annual Libby awards, including Gabe Saporta as Favorite Animal-Friendly Celeb, Cobra Starship as Most Animal-Friendly Band, and Travis McCoy as Most Animal Friendly Hip-Hop Artist.

Um, what else. I thought there was something else I wanted to share. Hmm. I posted a few pics from this weekend on my facebook, if anyone wants to see. And I'm gonna go watch the new Penguins of Madagascar thing with the kiddos before bed. ♥

I need some advice from the mommies/teachers on my list. Or, well, from everyone, but they might have more insight.

Davey has had a habit of chewing on his clothes for a while. I figured he'd grow out of it, since I remember my brother Tim and Ronnie both going through a phase of chewing/sucking on the collars of their shirts but they both stopped. Davey, on the other hand, is getting worse. He's biting holes in his shirt (seriously, I bought him a Perry the Platypus shirt on Thursday, he wore it on Friday, and he came home with holes in the front of it because he had bitten holes in it) and biting/sucking on his arm. He's never been a thumbsucker or one who puts his fingers in his mouth.

I'm not sure what to do with him. I've thought about getting him a chewy necklace or a chewy bracelet, but I don't remember where to get them. (When I lived with Melanie, one of our daycare kids had a problem with chewing on his shirt and fidgeting and we made him a chewy out of like string and aquarium tubing and he was a totally different kid after that.) Any suggestions??
