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 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.

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...
