At the infirmary

Was intending on taking the kids (who aren't at work) to my mom's for lunch/the afternoon and having the bulk of the day to myself. It's been several weeks since I've had ME time at home. Most times, since then, I've had one or two here either sick or off work. They did go last week, but I'm thinking somebody was home then...(scratching head). Ah yes, oldest daughter was recovering from the stomach bug. Do germs stay around that long? Well, youngest son came into the living room, this morning, telling me he'd been throwing up during the night. First thought was the entire can of Pringle*s chips he gobbled up yesterday. He paid for 'em, so he ate 'em! Not sure what to think now since he got sick again after I had him drink a few sips of Coke. I'm thinking it's not the chips.

::sigh::

I'll still get out. Have library books to return, and movies to slip into Redbox. Will grab some Chinese somewhere and eat in the truck. Began re-reading Lisa Samson's 'Quaker Summer', which is an excellent book. Will take that with me. Then back home to putter and rest.

Can't complain. Life is good, even with all its bumps along the way.
