closed for the flu...

well as i mentioned i've been wearing my nurses cap while attending to eli and his illness...now let me describe eli when he's sick...he may look like the walking dead but other than that you wouldn't have a clue...for his insistence of kicking the soccer ball against the refrigerator, chasing belle around the house; his version of freeze tag, and never sitting still for much more than a few minutes - he does have a way of waring you out over time - for i try to keep him still and resting to beat the bug that has attached itself to him...

but we have now been told that it is indeed the swine flu - which he thinks is pretty cool that he would live through this much dreaded illness; the future stories of the horror of it all to be passed down generation after generation are already being created in his mind; for after all mom, he says, i just might die...

now this isn't something that a mom needs to hear over and over again from their little ones, or big ones either...i assure him that he certainly won't die for he has parents that will protect him, dr.'s and medicines that will help him get better again, and always his response is; it could happen...

so as you can imagine i do have my hands full...he himself is a full time job but i'm also working on pieces that were to go out today; but monday will be the day now...and in this house, it is just a matter of time before his thoughts turn to; if i die i might come back as a zombie....good grief, i'm throwing the towel in at that point...

so remember - stay in for the rest of the year so that this doesn't happen to you...
