I have been VERY remiss in updating this. If I actually had any readers before, I probably don't now :)

Ironically I've had LOTS to write about, but usually I'm composing entries in my head while driving, or at the gym, and it's kind of hard to post then (ha ha ha...) Too bad, too, because some of them were pretty good.

EVERYONE but me has been sick with the flu over the past two weeks. Hal had it first, but he recovered fairly quickly. He ended up working from home a bit, though, because I was still taking care of 3 sick kids. Millie hasn't been to school since the 30th of November, except for about 2 hours on the 4th, when I thought she was doing better, but I got a call from the school nurse to come and get her. She seemed MUCH better yesterday, but then by the end of the day had a fever again and actually turned down McDonald's for chicken noodle soup.

Leah hasn't been too bad flu-wise, but she spent about 3 nights last week screaming every time you put her in bed. In my kids, that's classic ear infection, so I finally took her to the ped on Friday and she got some antibiotics, but by Saturday night she was screaming again, and Sunday night was AWFUL, so back we went yesterday for a different antibiotic.

Ian really has had it the easiest of everyone. He's stuffed up, and coughing, but other than that he's his usual Hurricane Ian self. Right now he's running around dumping random things on the floor, occasionally watching Elmo Saves Christmas, and getting goobers all over me.

Everyone keeps asking if we got flu shots this year: shouldn't that be self-evident???
