"Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied." -Douglas Adams

I’d have no luck at all.

So of course since it’s mid-term exam week for me, the kids are sick. Fevers, whiny, tired. The Swine Flu is in our neighborhood, did I mention that? I hope we have enough milk if we get quarantined.

Ha! Actually they aren’t doing that anymore. In fact, I’ve been told around here that they don’t even care if you have it, no need to go to the doctor for a H1N1 test unless you are dying. Which is fine by me because I’m not one to run to the doctor for every little sniffle and cough. The fevers go down with Tylenol and I’m keeping them hydrated, lest you think I’m a completely uncaring mom. Although I’m not sure what this says about my eventual nurse bedside manner. “What? You just had open heart surgery? Whatever dude, you can walk to the bathroom by yourself.”

(Eh, I have 3+ years before that happens anyways.)

So, mid-terms, sick kids… I’ll muddle through, I always do.

  2. I went through my “Murphy” stage throughout my 20′s and found life only gets better and better. I KNOW it’ll eventually lead to more good luck than bad! Hang in there Sweetie. And you can be my nurse anyday! :)
