The Week That Needs to Disappear from All Records
Most of you probably saw my earlier posts from the week. Kids fighting illness, me getting sick, blah blah blah. On Wednesday, Randy said that the week was just going to be a tosser, but unfortunately it got even worse. As you will recall, Tuesday I was throwing-up (ALL DAY!). Wednesday I had the other end problem. Thursday Annelise got the diarrhea (Randy took one for the team and stayed home so I wouldn't have to use another sick day). Poor Danny had to go to Annelise's day care by himself because he doesn't have school all week. He was pretty sad over that one! Yesterday afternoon when I picked Danny up I noticed his eye was a bit red in the corner. This morning Danny got a pink-eye diagnosis! And the whole week got capped off nicely when our one and only car broke down in the rain (while I was driving the kids) at 6:30 tonight! Randy is still off dealing with the car stuff, so that we could take a taxi home. Who knows how late he will be and how much money this could cost! What a winner of a week. Can we have a do-over?

Wow. that was quite the week!! Can't say that's a part of my children when they were small that i miss--that generosity of sharing all germs with the entire family. but i suppose you bring plenty home from work yourself, eh? When Cori was working at Happiness Hill preschool she was sick all the time. When she left there she was well for 2 whole months, and that felt like a miracle to her!!
i'm so sorry for your very rough time!! That is so draining!! (And tends to tax mommy's patience, as i personally recall.) ;-)
OH--and i love your title!!! says it all!!
Do-overs are an important part of the union-negotiated labor contract for the current human race. As set down in said contract every individual (doubled for committed couples) is entitled to do-overs at a rate of 2 "mulligan" hours a day, one day per week, one week every two months (which can be banked or "advanced" as necessary), one month every other year (plus an extra month every leap year), and one year every decade (unless you need two--in which case the "universal management" will look the other way). So by all means, just erase the last week and start over.
Oh and about those cars . . . they're watching--always. They know who you are and where you sleep. They have a sworn enmity for humankind and are committed to the overthrow of civilization through precision-timed breakdowns calculated for maximum annoyance and the breeding of Luddite fury. Your car didn't just "break down"; it wanted to break down; it chose to break down and was just biding its time until the perfect moment. . .
Tad
P.S. I hope things get better soon.
oh, sorry about the sickness with everyone and the car. Spring is on the way. I hope you're all feeling better. We've got colds blowing through here too.
