And every year, has its share of tears...

And every now and then its gotta rain.

We have officially surpassed the one week threshold of sickness at our house. Yes the rotavirus (we suspect) has run (being the operative word) rampant through my two children over the course of the week. Ugh. Started last Tuesday morning at 1:00 a.m., and by my watch that makes seven days. I will spare you the gory details, because let's just say it's not something I want to relive any time soon. Culprit I'm going to assume was an innocent visit to the Ikea ballroom. Thousands of balls touched by thousands of grimy little hands, how lovely. Note to self, put some of that Purell hand sanitizer into my purse. 

Thankfully I staved off the virus myself (thank you immunity). Although I must attribute my diligent eight million episodes of hand washing, at least in part. And I won't even venture to guess just how many loads of laundry we've done. I'm still terrified of catching anything since the most debilitating bout with the Norwalk virus that was inflicted upon us three plus years ago. If you've ever had the Norwalk, you know exactly the ills I speak of. I digress. Anyway, everyone is mostly recovered (knock on wood), Thomas has just a few lingering effects. I almost thought he was going to be spared, until he was hit most violently on Friday night. His poor chicken stuffed animal really took the brunt of it. The child does everything with such vigour, this being no exception.

In any case, this week can only be an improvement on the last. We are looking very forward to a visit from my Auntie Ging and cousin Amalia (all the way from Victoria) in a couple days. Cross your fingers that everyone is in some semblance of good health by then.
