Perhaps I shouldn't complain. After all, despite the plethora of things that have gone wrong this the First Weekend of Spring Break, it still doesn't compare to the atrocities that we were plagued with during Spring Break '01, i.e. The Rotavirus Scurge. Yeah, I think we got off lucky.
So, while I finished up weeding the last of my beds this afternoon (really, it's like I was on crack, which I promise I am not--but you wouldn't believe the weeding, soil prep, fertilizing/edging I did today,) Sophy whacked Jack on the head with a hammer. Yeah, I know. ER doc, who had the bed side manner of an egg-sucking wildebeest, said everything was fine and sent us home. I really figured he was fine, let the record state, but how do you not take your child to the doc when he's been cracked on the head with a hammer? Ya know? So, yeah. That was interesting.
In the meantime, Sam has exploded with Fifth's Disease which he apparently caught from Jack. It's really all about the thoughtfulness around here, ya know? We share everything from hammer blows to viral infectants. We are a very close family. Anyway, yesterday while playing with cousins and visiting with PD's sis and mom, we realized that Sam's face and ears were on fire with a fine rash on his arms. Today that fine rash turned into a very prominent and ANGRY rash on his arms, trunk, tops of legs and backs of his calves (which is odd for Fifths.)
So there you it have folks. Another Spring Break for the books. It could be worse. It could certainly be worse. Not that I'm asking for it to be worse. Oh no. No, no. Uh-uh. Nope. We'll take hammers and diseases any day. ANY day. We love hammers. And viruses that don't make us puke or poop and run 104 degree temps for 8 days. Oh no. Anything but that.
Happy Hammer Diseasing!
I mean, er...Happy Spring Break!
