positive thinking gets you nowhere but sick!

Seriously.  


It's not like I was trying to be all positive thinking.  Cause Lord knows...that's a whole other post.  Hint - I am not into positive thinking! 


But I am into having a little fun every now and then. 


Which is really what I was trying to do. Have a little fun.  


A daily love post during the Month of Love seemed appropriate.  Plus, counting your blessings never hurt anyone.  Or so I thought...   


No sooner had I clicked publish on my first love post...than Bristel's being diagnosed with pneumonia.  


But I was not to be deterred!  It was just Bristel.  And she recovered quickly.  No need to stop the love.  


Until the rest of us were systematically taken down by pneumonia too.  It's rare for me to be unable to muster energy to check my emails.  That's how sick I was.  If you sent me an email that went unresponded to.  Now you know why. 


Just as I was beginning to feel myself.  And take up my love post crusade again.   


WHAMMO!  


Trevy's puking on Friday.  


Toby's aching on Saturday.  


I'm shivering again and wearing a fever MUCH too high for an adult on Sunday. Monday and Tuesday too!  Only today am I starting to feel my energy perk a bit.  A teensy weensy bit.   


Just in time for Bristel to be down with the shivers.  


I swear it's the virus from you know where!  


And while I can't be sure it's a curse on my attempt at happy thoughts...


I'm sure not willing to take any more chances!  Besides right about now...there's nothing I'm loving about February anyway!

Oh my. That does sound like a rough February. KC has pnemonia also, but he is just one kid, and so far the two adults in the house have gotten off unscathed. Sorry you guys haven't been so lucky : ( I hope things pick up again soon!

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

I was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
