The upside


The upside to coming down with the flu (or some flu-mimicking 48 hr virus) on Sunday:

1. SLEEPING.
12 hours Saturday night, 8 hours during the day on Sunday, and about 10 hours Sunday night.

2. Learning that if I just sit and relax and do absolutely nothing around the house (occasionally), the world does not stop turning, nor does the house fall around about our ears.
*OK. So Darin picked up a little slack for me...

3. Realizing that I love to snuggle our children so much that it is painful to tell them to "stay away from mom because she's sick right now."

4. Missing classes as I recouped Monday, and reading 148 pages of this awesome book in one sitting, on my couch with a cozy blanket around my shoulders, and hot coffee in hand.

5. Not being the throwing-up type of sick person.
Unless it's that poltergeist in my GI system kind of urge...
So perhaps just not having that poltergeist in my GI system urge with this particular illness.

6. Time to think about all of the blogging I need to catch up on!

7. NOT coming down sick on Saturday, when we



















went ice-skating



















then came home and had a popcorn-and-cranberry-stringing race.
*which the boys won, incidentally, in case you couldn't tell.
