The Plague

For the last three weeks, someone in my house has been sick. It started with William, and the stomach flu, which I came down with, then Sammi. It was just awful. It lasted, for me, about 6 days. And when I thought it was gone -- it came back to haunt me and Sammi for round two! Then Daniel got sick. He had a deep cough, and he was home from school for awhile. Now it is William. He has been coughing for the last 4 days, and he has been sleeping (coughing, crying, kicking me) in my bed, while Charles has been enjoying the comfort of the couch. I have not slept much, lately. Our home is contaminated, for sure.

Anyhow, it has been a rough couple of weeks. We have never had such a long drawn-out round of illness. It has been quite lame. I have been off-and-on at the gym, too, which has been hard for me, especially when I am feeling well, but with sick kids -- they, of course, take priority to all else.

I am looking forward to good health, and for everyone to be well again. I have realized how much I love my normal routine. When it is thrown off (like it has been for 3 weeks!) it is NOT so fun! Ahhhhhh . . . health. It is a beautiful thing . . .
