Blechity Blech Blech!

We are all in various stages of sick here. It seems to be knocking us out two by two, which in a family of six, extends things just a bit. We've spent too many hours sprawled on couches and floors, watching TV and snoozing all day in our pajamas.

The last two days it's been me with the biggest snot collection which I'm convinced contains all of my brain cells too. It seems the more I blow out, the slower my mind is working.

Gabe crawled up in my lap today and since none of us have the energy to do much, we had THIS conversation...

Gabe - "Mom, I want milk." and he sprawls across my lap and weakly looks up at me.

Me - "Oh Gabe, mommy's tired. I'll get you some milk in a little bit."

Gabe - I could see his little wheels turning as he answered me with this, "Mom, do you still have milk in your bras?"

Me - My hands instinctively swung up to cover my chest, "Uh...no Gabe. That milk is all gone. It's just for babies."

So you see the desperation we've reached at our house.

And I'm doing my darndest to shove Zinc and Ecinacea and Vitamin C and Garlic down everybody because my 36th birthday is this sunday and I refuse to be nursemaid to anyone.

ANYONE!
