The Energizer Bunny

What a beautiful day! The sun is shining, hardly a cloud to be seen, and it's in the 50's. It feels like spring!

If you notice, I changed the template on my blog to something a little more cheerful than the black. I needed it after having a rough week. I, too, came down with the awful bug that Terah got. It just keeps going and going and going. I was down for about four days when I went in and asked for an antibiotic. Jay had to take Monday off to take care of the kids because I was far too sick to do so. It was another two days after that before I felt like I could function for small amounts of time and I still am coughing a bit today.

Jay started coming down with it Thursday and keeps telling me today that if he could just take his head off he'd feel much better. He no longer has the aches and shivers but is still congested and blowing his nose repeatedly.

Rowan got the fever on Friday and was slightly reserved yesterday but has bounced back to his normal self for the most part. He seems a little sensitive and sleeps quite a lot still but is pretty cheerful otherwise.

Poor Adam started coming down with it yesterday and still is feeling poorly today. He cries a lot and just lies on the couch. I feel for him as that's all I could do for about five days (lay on the couch. I actually only cried a couple times.) I don't know why it seems to hit some people so much harder than others. It just seems to drag on and on.

So, I needed a more cheerful backdrop here and the sunshine is wonderful. We all went outside for a couple of hours this morning. When we came in the boys crashed in the living room and I found them both sleeping by the time lunch was ready. Rowan on the floor with his cars and Adam on the couch with his bear. I took pictures but I think I need some certain software to transfer them to my computer so I'll have to post them later on.

Well, I think I'd better go and do some house cleaning. Or maybe I'll wait until the next gloomy weather day...

GET WELL SOOOOOOON! I feel so bad for you. And I am dreading that we are going into winter even though early spring is when we tend to get all the worst bugs.

Hope it stays sunshiny for you. The new blog layout is nice- quite light and fresh...I am hopeless with figuring out anything web-based. Hope you get your software figured out so we can see some pictures of your misery...:P Did I just say that??
