The illness keeps making its slow way through the family. I have said it so many times -- if we'd all get sick at once it would be a nightmare, but a short nightmare! It says something about our immune systems that people get these sicknesses slowly, over the course of a few weeks.
Something good, maybe?
Joseph had it this week and was sick ONE day, which is great. I have it now. I've been pushing through it for a few days, getting a bit more rest when I can but also extra busy because I'm helping little sickies.
Three youngest kiddos got it at the end of the week. Sarah lost her voice for a couple of days. Rose has coughed a lot, and last night threw up copiously in her bed from coughing, poor sweet. (And poor me -- I cleaned it up!)
But I keep trying to have a good attitude about it. It isn't anything really, really, really serious. It isn't polio, or smallpox, or even the flu. It isn't strep throat (we checked for that.) It is just a stupid virus.
This is a totally little thing, but I was wanting to watch some college football and we don't have ESPN and I had the vague idea that most games were on ESPN. Nope, lots are on regular TV and we can record them. So that's fun. I don't even understand football all that well (not the subtleties) but I do enjoy watching football on TV. It's so mellow watching big men crash into each other.
I will never encourage any of my children to play football. Micro concussions.
So that's it. Sickness. Couching. Fatigue. But we're fine.
Oh, it is still very hot for September and we have been able to swim in 82 degree water, which is awesome.
God is good all the time.
