Oh my God. Who has time for this, really? Life is happening. I'm trying to make sure I write about it so that I can look back and remember... but while it's going on, it's a PITA to slow down long enough to remark on it.

I have a huge post coming... but there's a lot to sort through first.

NOTE: I apparently only post on Monday. Who knew?

I'm sure everyone, everywhere, has read something about the H1N1 flu virus. Well, count me among those that know a little more about it than they'd like to. Ian came down with it last week. A temp hovering above 104 degrees and a doctor visit later, my youngest son was asleep on the floor in my office surrounded by Gatorade, Soup at Hand, Puffs and hand sanitizer... with some legos and a DS thrown in for entertainment value. Everytime he sat up he was seized with nausea. Everytime we lapsed on the motrin/tylenol cycle, his temperature skyrocketed to that dreaded 104. Needless to say, he slept a lot. He's still sleeping a lot. We've got the temperature under control, he's eating now... and we're down to three doses of motrin a day compared to staggering tylenol and motrin every three hours. He's still laid up on the sofa, still in charge of the TV remote and still a little on the lethargic side... but it's obvious that, despite a not great weekend, he's on the mend.

Now, if only my back pain would leave me as readily as the flu is leaving him!
