3 out of my 4 kids agree... being sick sucks.

Yeah, we are quarantined at our house. H1N1, although we have not been officially tested Jane's school made the news- 182 students home sick. There must have been quite a bit of spit swapping at the Halloween dance Friday night. JANE!!!!

Ellyn is as healthy as a horse, but since the rest of the family is is down we thought we should be socially responsible and keep her home just in case. Jane is recovering, she still had a low grade fever last night and a cough and a sore throat this morning. Sadie seems better this morning but is still on meds. She was miserable last night, a high fever, having to take a warm bath (which did not feel warm to her)to break said fever, throwing up all over the floor while trying to go to the bathroom. Not a favorite Sadie day. Her good daddy took care of her and slept with her all night long, keeping an eye on her fever.

Sawyer is all low energy and a mucky cold. He seems happy enough.

So we are hoping that Mike had a version of this last week and that I am just immune. If this is as bad as it gets I'm actually relieved that we got it. I have been in turmoil about whether or not to give Sawyer and Ellyn the vaccination. They have a thimerasol (I know I'm spelling that wrong but it's not in spell check) free version but it hasn't been available.

Well, I'm off to reclean the house, my favorite activity ever- not at all. I'm wondering how many days of movies and laying around we can all take before going crazy. I'm a wimp. I like healthy.

I'm so sorry Brooke! We are still waiting to get hit. I thought a trip to the museum this week would do us in for sure when no one washed their hands before eating, but so far so good.

Certainly I just cursed myself, taunted the flu demons by saying "so far so good".

so far, so good! You're hysterical Mindi. I, too am sorry, Brooke! Geof. has had the flu but no one else (kind of strange). I wash the kids hands about a million times a day and so far so good.., but we'll see. Hang it there...

A New Family Picture that does not involve unshowered bodies or matching clothing

D-Day, 65 Years Ago Today

I am in awe of all of the brave men that fought on the beaches that day. Their courage is something I cannot even comprehend. I feel very privileged that our family was able to visit the beaches of Normandy and get just the tiniest glimpse of the sacrifice made by so many. I am so proud of our American soldiers, time and again they step up to the plate and do what is asked of them. Thank you.
