We are amongst the living!!

So I officially survived one of the longest weeks of my life. It made me so grateful for good health, and great family and friends. I got sick last Tuesday afternoon and it just got worse from there for a WHOLE WEEK! It usually sounds like a great idea to lounge around on the couch, but boy did I get sick of that stupid thing. My poor sister got the swine flew a couple of weeks before and I felt helpless as to how I could help her. I guess it just didn't pay off to stay away, we got it anyway. I wish that I had done more for her. Luckily I had some good entertainment for my week long excursion on the couch. Alyvia had me either laughing or crying. She'd come in with her back pack and announce that she will be right back she has to go to preschool. She tried to reassure me that she would be OK and to not miss her while she was gone. She also put on some pretty good dances for me. I'm really glad I had her around most of the time. So if anyone ever tells you not to fear the swine flu, FEAR IT!!!! Stay as far away from it as possible it does bite. "HARD" Something I have learned is that I'm just flat out not tough. So for most of you you can just disregard all of this whining!! I'm pretty good at that too. I am so glad Brady and Alyvia some how snuck around it. Brady is taking his first section of his CPA exam this nex Tuesday, so we have to keep him healthy.
