Apr. 9, 2008 - Mount Laundry
Yes, what I've almost avoided all winter has finally hit us...the stomach flu. And I have never dealt with stomach flu with seven individuals before, and the tottering mountain of laundry that ensues from washing sheets, blankets and three changes of clothes per person per day. My three-year-old never can seem to make it to the toilet, and we're bringing home a carpet steam cleaner tomorrow. Just lovely. I haven't eaten yet today except some crackers, but I'm going to test a little something now, just because I am hungry, even though my body tells me, I will hurl it out of here, so good luck.
I had to work today (court reporter by trade, mom by choice), and unfortunately it was the deposition of a forensic pathologist...think "Dr. G, Medical Examiner." He does autopsies, and today was of a supposedly abused 18-month-old, and not to sound insensitive, but this is my work, and there were photos of the eyeballs on a table and the head opened dissecting the brain. I am sensitive anyway to any type of child abuse, but this almost made me lose my cookies on the table. I couldn't get off work, and it was a bad day to have to go through while having a stomach bug.
ANYWAY! Enough loveliness. I'm sure you get the picture. Hoping that you and yours are healthy and cared for,
Blesssings!
