The living dead...

So I haven't been able to blog in a while because I was busy either caring for my 2 sick kids, or trying to get some rest so I could feel better myself. Last Wednesday I came into work with a pretty bad sore throat, but was ready to push through the day. Unfortunately, I jinxed myself by joking with some coworkers about how I was sure the school would be calling me about either Bubba or Na-na because they were both on the hairy edge of sick when I dropped them off that morning. The school did call... and so it began. My kids are real go-getters and overachievers. They can't both be sick with the same thing, NO. Na-na had some sort of hacking, coughing, upper-respiratory disease, and Bryan had what I will call a spewage issue... from all ends...eeeewww. Na-na actually healed up pretty quickly and was feeling better by Friday afternoon. Bubba....not so much. It was a poop bonanza. It was like watching the exorcist, but from the other end. It was so bad, we ended up in urgent care on Friday morning. He's feeling much better now. Wish I was. My kids love to share, so somewhere over the course of the last 4 days, I caught both sets of germs. Yippee! Of course, my darling husband, Eugene, somehow managed to stay immune to both disorders...bastard.

Oh well, at least we'll all be over it before my big sis "Beaner" and her kids come to visit in a few days. We've called her Beaner since we were all kids because she has always been as thin as a string bean. It's disgusting really - unnatural. Still, I can't wait to see them - it's been a year since their last visit.

As for our yard project, quite a bit of progress was made in spite of my recently incapacitated state. The concrete has all been poured, and it looks pretty good! All that's left now is the cosmetic stuff. Can't wait to see the final product!
