I forgot to mention

That I seem to have the same virus that Eden has. Oh joy. You would think that in 35 years, I would have contracted every cold virus out there already, and wouldn't constantly catch every single thing my kids bring home from the kennel daycare, but it doesn't seem to work that way.

Achoo.

Quiet Friday

I'm home today with Eden, who is running a fever. We'll be heading into the doctor in a bit, but for now, she's napping and I'm enjoying the rare sensation of being in a totally quiet house.

In Praise of the Red Stuff

Do you think its bad that I sometimes view being sick as an opportunity to knock back NyQuil and hit the hay for a guaranteed great night of sleep? If you do, than read no further.

Because, last night, feeling a little stuffy, a little achy, and a lot aggravated by my head cold and UTI (sorry for the tmi), I did just that. Got the kids to bed, half-heartedly picked up the house, downed 2 tablespoons of the sweet, sweet nectar of the gods and by 9pm was fast asleep. Sometime just before 7am I came to again, and I have to say, I feel worlds better today.
