The illness runs strong in this house. First it hit my son, with vomiting and diarrhea – the kind with no warning – and then a few days later it was my daughter with a scary high fever, and then me with your typical sore throat, stuffy nose, and achiness, and then back again to my son. My husband has yet – cross your fingers – to catch whatever this horrendous bug is. But my word! It’s been 10 straight days of illness and I am plain tuckered out from it. I am ready for it to move on and leave us alone.

Really. That’s it. There isn’t much else to talk about. When I can be sure this crud has officially left our home, I’ll get back on my feet again and resume some more regular writing (and with any luck more interesting, as well). Until then, stay healthy. Drink lots of water and keep your hands clean!
