Clash

I'd like to start by pointing out that I live in the Midwest, Heartland of America, etc. It's November. And it was over 80 degrees outside today. I had the air conditioning on. In November! It's unnatural. Moving on to other comments about unholiness:

On the way to church on Sunday, Paul noted that Ellie was wearing a red jumper, which looked atrocious next to his orange shirt. I pointed out that my hot pink pin stripes weren't improving the picture. I think we look much better when we match:
The shirts say, Mummy, Deady, and Little Ghoul.

That's about all I remember before Ellie and I were laid up by a nasty GI bug, thanks to the cutest little plague carrier in the world. The two of us are starting to feel much better, though Paul is starting to complain of the ick. Jessica, I hope that you and yours are well. (They were here the night we were visited by the cutest little plague carrier in the world.)

Other than pregnancy-related illness, which is not to be discounted, I can't remember the last time I had a flu bug. This is my third this year, and last time was only a month ago! Whine! Still, I am perfectly *thrilled* by how well Ellie seems to be bouncing back. She's doing much better than I am. Perhaps it has something to do with the entire liter of Pedialyte she drank yesterday while I dehydrated myself to decrease the frequency of, well, I'll just stop right there.

At least he was cute... err... sorry about that...

Hope you are feeling better!

Scott actually was laid up on the couch Monday night complaining of fever, chills, and upset stomach. Since he is a freak of nature, however, he sweats it all out in one evening and is usually fine the next day.

So far, I'm good (knock on wood).

Our family moved from Iowa to Michigan in September. It is 72 degrees outside right now... odd for November.

Mypetrock: no worries. It happens!

Jessica, we're all much better, thanks. I'm sorry Scott got it too!

Thanks, Little Miss!

Rebecca, hi! My sister lives in the crotch between the the thumb and the first finger. (That's a little Michigan humor, for the non-locals.)
