Bugs

It's been a buggy few weeks... first a stomach bug attacked Ben and I, then Alex. Then some sort of energy draining fever inducing bug attacked Jack and Dani and Alex and Ben. Then we found a SWARM of ants in the garage. Time to call the bug guy! Then Jack's computer went buggy and won't turn on - he was hoping to eek it out for another year before buying a new one. THEN I got a flat tire as we were headed to swim lessons (not the work of a bug, just a large chunk of metal). But as all things do, everything ended just fine. Ben finally got hydrated enough to stop throwing up, Alex and Dani made it to swim class thanks to Aunt Jean, and they are now even feeling good enough to play together again (instead of just laying around watching TV - they've actually OD'ed on it, I think! No requests today to watch). As they play, I can tell the week has made an impact. They have new games...

I'm eavesdropping and just heard Alex tell Dani, "Uh oh, I terribled my friends." Dani asked, "What does that mean?" to which Alex replied, "I leaned over and threw up all over them."

and when we went to Steak and Shake with Aunt Jean after swim class, the girls got paper convertible cars with stickers to add. Alex told Aunt Jean, "I'm going to make a flat tire!"

LOL!
