Season of Sickness

It seems to be a season of sickness around here.  The kids haven't been too bad, but shockingly I have been the worst.  It all started in August when we went on vacation in MB.  I came home with a horrible case of swimmer's ear that took me at least 2 weeks to get over.  Then in October I got what must surely have been the worst case of strep in history and what I hoped to be my last, but alas, it was not to be and I got it again in December.  And if at all possible it was even worse than the first time.  January came and went with me either getting a stomach bug or food posioning, I can't tell the difference and I can still remember that sick feeling and the food I associate with it.  Now apparently, I have a case of the flu.  Surely it has to get better, but when?  Oh well, at least it's not the kids.  Even with all the sickness I've gotten lately I can truly say I would rather it be me than them.  I'm sure Neal wouldn't agree because he has had to take care of all five of us without a break.  He is so good, but he's getting a little burnt out and who can blame him.  Oh well, maybe spring will bring a season of nonsickness.  I totally lurve spring.  It makes me happy just thinking about it.

I'm so sorry you've had so much sickness. I think you've had your share and then some. And I've missed getting to see you as much. Here's hoping to a very healthy spring. :)
