Happy to see the end of an interminable week

It happened - yesterday I came down with Charlie's stomach virus. It was like a 24-hour detox. I couldn't keep anything down, not even water. Yuk. And lying around feeling like death when you have a child bouncing up and down on you saying, "Play with me! Play!" ... well, it wasn't one of the happier days of my life

Ugh. That does not sound like a good day at all!!! (To say the least.)

Thankfully it was short.

I'm glad to hear you're back amongst the living.

When Herself was about Charlie's age, and we'd just bought this house, I was moving us into it with my Dad's pickup (which meant a trip a day, down and back, while C. worked), and one afternoon I was suddenly afflicted with a similar malady. I called C. and he drove down, because I couldn't go anywhere and had no clothes or food here yet! Our first night in this house I spent, er, v. ill, and then C. came down with it, and before we'd spent 24 hours in the building, every member of the family including the dog had made a mess on the living room carpet.

It was awful at the time but now I look back on it and laugh.

Glad you're on the road to recovery, but wow, Murphy's Law working overtime, there.

And yeah, kids at that age are just vectors on two legs, bless their developing immune systems. Gad.
