Usually the sickness and crap hits later in the year, but this time it was apparently on Sarah-time (my sister gives me a hard time about wanting to be early for things). The last two weeks have almost killed me with stress and worry. I had one kid with bronchitis and then pneumonia, one with a sinus infection, and the other with a fever virus. Keith made 2 ER trips in one week, and Friday I was diagnosed with a sinus infection and pleurisy. BTW, this is my second time getting pleurisy. And it sucks. Add in a cluttered house, a garage sale, a resale, an uncle getting diagnosed with stage four kidney cancer, and my grandma getting two blood transfusions, and I am struggling not to book a one-way plane ticket to an island in the Caribbean.
(Wait, is hurricane season over yet?)
Anyway, last night was the first time in over a week that it was quiet and calm. (Except for checking on Connor who had a slight fever during dinner - because hey, why would I ever expect to go one week without a sick kid?)
No ER trips, no late night grocery store runs, no laundry.
Just me, Keith and this:

Oh, and this of course:
LOVE LOVE LOVE this show.
(And of course, she remembers. Damn it, they better get together this season.)

Two and a half men was hilarious as well.
And even though I went to bed a little late, the kids slept all night, which meant, so did I.
A little bit of normalcy is quite nice.
I could get used to it.
But I won't.
Cold and flu season just got started. ;)
