We are on a temporary hiatus at the moment due to illness in the family.  Whatever "it" is seems to have gotten to everyone.  We should be back operational again Monday.  My beloved youngest son, Tre, woke up with "it" on Monday morning (coughing as though he had bronchitis, pneumonia, and the croup all rolled into one as well as vomiting up this nasty junk ... sorry, hope that wasn't TMI!).  By Wednesday he was feeling better and back at school, but by then he had already managed to "share" whatever "it" is with Dad and I.  Hopefully we'll all be right as rain again on Monday!

* Update * (5/13/2012)

The Man Thing (aka Hubby) was hit so hard with "it" that he was home from work Thursday and Friday (which meant, naturally, that I got absolutely nothing done because we all know that men are HUGE babies when they get sick and need to be waited on hand and foot!) I started feeling bad myself on Thursday, but since I'm 'da mom' in this house, I had no choice but to muddle through.  My eldest, Jonathan, started showing signs Thursday evening with the coughing.  By Friday evening he was hit head-on with "it" and started running a fever.  Woke me up at 5:00 a.m. Saturday morning screaming because he thought that ghosts were coming up the side of his bed after him and he had jumped up and was trying to climb the wall to get away from them.  His temperature ranged between 101 and 103 most all day Saturday and into late Saturday evening when it finally broke last night a little after midnight.

The dawning of Mother's Day has all my chicks feeling better, Mom is feeling better, and TMT (The Man Thing) is doing better as well.  Can I call 'em or what?
