Sickies

This week has been a miserable one for me. I started coughing Thursday morning, and by that night, I didn't even want to move. I suspect the flu or a really bad virus. Jay and Leslie have been sick as well, and the only person not sick, JT, is the one who deals with sick people all day. Go Figure. He has been great. He has put me to bed early every night, and put the kids to bed. Jay usually lays with me until he goes to sleep, or until Leslie is asleep. Last night, she cried, and cried, and we couldn't figure out what the problem was until JT gave her Jay's 'blue soft blanket'. She had thrown up on her pink blanket, and didn't want to go to sleep without it. As soon as she got Jay's blanket, she stopped crying and went to sleep. I think I need to take up stock in these blankets. JT has also been keeping the house reasonably picked up. I can't complain, I'm not cleaning up either. I was so dizzy Friday, I could barely stand, so cleaning has not been high on my priority list. Today has been better, as long as I keep up the Tylenol Cold. It doesn't get rid of the symptoms, but it dulls them. Right now I am thinking about easy dinner ideas. Let's see, McDonalds (I'm not sick enough to go there), Ravioli (nope, had that last night), soup and sandwiches (that was lunch). I guess I have to go look in the fridge to see if there is anything left over (there isn't). Oh well, I suppose whatchagot stew is on the menu. Everyone at my house is going to be praying for a quick recovery. The pictures are of Leslie eating the top of her party hat birthday cake, and Jay and Leslie at the playgroup easter egg hunt. I will figure out how to do this better.
