That stomach bug that went through both Ada and Jay hit me about 3:00am* Christmas morning. I spent up until 1:00am this morning with a fever, joint aches and unrelenting vomiting. It was a fabulous gift. I got out of bed around 8:30am for gift opening, but it took all the strength in me to [...]

Life seemed to be going so well and smoothly that I started looking up to the sky to watch out for the falling anvil. It hit me today. Jay has a virus infection. He had some bumps on his back that looked like they could have been small bites. He woke up this morning and [...]

I complained about my dwelling vegetables. And it was true. One of my produce storage bins held only a partially used head of garlic and the other had a small piece of ginger root. They are usually full, with spill over on the shelf above. But I had food. I mean, I recently bought a [...]

Some virus has grabbed a hold of me, and I blame my children. Or, my children’s schools. Both of my kids were sick last week. Ada was home for the first three days, two of them spent with a fever. I had one with her on Wednesday, but it wasn’t very high and was gone [...]

You know when you are really pleased with something and then you open your big mouth to brag and then everything ends up ruined? I had to go pick up Ada from school because she got sick again. She’s convinced that she just wants to be grumpy and cry and sit on my lap the [...]

I don’t remember the exact start date, sometime while our floor was being done, the puking disease plotted this course through our house: Jay->Ada->Mac. It missed me. Thankfully. Ada spent this entire morning whining and crying. She cried because there was a bubble in her oatmeal. She cried because she put on her dance outfit [...]
