I would like to thank...

the parent that decided to send their sick child to school last week. Really... I understand not wanting your child to miss school during the first week, but come on!

Both boys have been sick now and McKenna was sick last night. Bless her little heart, she's old enough to get up and go to the bathroom to puke instead of puking in her bed (or on the new carpet). I don't think Jay or I ever thought we'd be telling our kid thanks for making it to the toilet! I've been feeling a little off for a few days and now Jay is feeling really crappy this morning. I'm sure he'll be home after he meets with the banker guy at 11 to set up his IRA. Oh and the boys have moved on to colds now... Josh has a runny nose and Jake sounds like a barking seal. Please Lord, let me stay healthy! I'm going to AZ to see some new babies and I really don't want to be sick!! It would totally defeat the purpose of my visit if I wasn't able to hold the babies and help the mommies!

*Sigh*

I think this must be some kind of record. Five days into school and we've encountered the first bug of the school year. When I called in the kids' absences this morning, the secretary said the school had been hit hard; that not only are students getting sick, but the teachers are dropping right along with them. Fun times!
