a scene from this past weekend or I’m glad it is over
somebody is feeling better
Somehow K manged to avoid the plague and proved to be very, very lucky. I don’t know if it was a stomach virus or the flu but we are all feeling better now. Finn still gets worn out quickly but appetites are coming back and we are all more active. Gopher Guts is panicking - she LOVES a kid with a fever. She was able to snuggle with someone 24 hours a day for a week straight so now she is being a brat and won’t leave me alone.
Thank you to all of our imaginary friends who sent us messages, wishes for a quick recovery and good vibes. It was greatly appreciated and cheered me up quite a bit. Sorry I didn’t respond to everyone - it was a difficult week and a half…
BC - the skull girls and I would still LOVE to see some funny animals if you happen to come across anything good… Thanks so much!
the school clinic called or how to ruin Fallie’s weekend
Fallie is home sick with a low fever and sore throat. Tonight her sister is going to a friend’s birthday party (a sleepover with laser tag!) so Fallie invited a friend to spend the night here. Big bummer. Poor kid is on the couch watching a movie about fairies (have I mentioned that she hates tv?) and looks awful. At least she isn’t throwing up - that is so much worse.
Thanksgiving feast
Because of circumstances beyond our control, we stayed home for Thanksgiving - for the first time since before we were married. There was not enough time to purchase a turkey and thaw it so K spatchcocked and roasted a lovely chicken for us. Everything was delicious and it was quiet and mellow. What a nice day.
