Wherefore Art Thou?

This uneventful post (and I just lost you) was prompted by a telephone conversation held yesterday with my sister Julia. Directly before the following dialogue, I had spent 20 minutes or so complaining to my sister.
Julia: Are you sad?
Me: Why?
Julia: I notice you haven't been posting (on your blog).
So I'm posting. Because I'm not sad. Just sick. We're ALL sick and we're going on week 3 here.

These items have taken permanent residency on my kitchen counter, outside the medicine cabinet. The two items hidden would be the thermometer and the baby Tylenol. What you don't see are the eye drops for pink eye. Of course, front and center, you see the evidence of the kind of quality mother I am -- Sunday night feast of Macaroni and Cheese: Blue Box edition.

We have colds, coughs, rashes, ear infections and pink eye. And it just keeps going in circles.

I'm tired of the medicine. Tired of disinfecting everything. Tired of cracked hands from over washing. Tired of staying inside the house. And I'm really tired of the doctor's office.

I'm so sorry you've been so sick! I really was missing your blog posts. I'm not sure you realize the impact your lack of posting has on my day :) But the whole time you were not in the blogosphere I assumed you were on some fabulous vacation or something. I didn't think you were ill. Now I feel bad for mentally chastising your absence :)
Feel better soon!

Oh man, I hope you guys feel better soon. Maybe this means you'll get all the contagions out of your family and house so you can enjoy Christmas! Take care.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sending good vibes toward Texas.
