I'm Baaack. . .

Seven days without a post.  Wow.  I didn't go back to check and see if I've ever done that before, but it feels like first.  Not only have I not been writing, I haven't been reading either.  My blog reader had 296 posts when I came upstairs tonight.  Everybody has holiday ideas to share and Halloween photos. . .

You are wondering where mine are, aren't you? Well, you'll have to wait a couple days.  For publishing sake, I am going to continue to go chronologically as I play catch-up.  Keep coming back - the Halloween photos are worth the wait and KB's birthday party was precious.

I know an explanation is not expected (in regard to my long absence) but I feel I must let you in on details.  Our life is so much like a sitcom at times.  One of those plots that makes you so uncomfortable with the "tragedy" of it all, that you have to laugh.

SO, I got my double ear infection diagnosis and the next morning Honey woke up with fever and a sore throat.  He went to the doctor and tested positive for strep.  KB came home from Toddler Time that same day and within the hour felt a bit warm herself.  I took her temperature, called the doctor, and a couple hours later she tested positive for strep.  Then my mom arrived.  Then Little felt a bit warm so I took her and Bubba to get swabbed and she was. . .fine . . . but Bubba had strep.  There are a LOT of antibiotics floating around this house. 

Basically, I have had my hands full with sick kids, cleaning out with mom, and party fun.  But I am glad to be back.  My fingers miss the typing and my heart misses the writing.

So, I'll post a little something in the morning and we'll go from there.  Hopefully I can keep up and another deluge of sickness won't pull me under.

Helen - could you email me your personal email address so I can ask you a couple questions about your last comment? I am itching to know who you know in Marietta and when you will be in the States.
