When one is sick it sucks, when the committee is sick, life gets interesting. I have had the creepy crude for days. All the famous flu symptoms of which I will not regale you. As a general rule when the body is injured or in pain, it is Jewel's job to handle it. When the body is sick, it often gets rotated through a number of the committee members. The other day Julie Girl completely lost her cool. As in full on temper tantrum and crying fit because she hurt so much. I'm sure all of you have seen a sick child just lose it because they can not express what is happening in words and they just want to crawl into daddy's lap. Now picture that same crying fit happening with all that frustrated little girl pain in the body of a 41 year old woman. It is not a pretty sight and there is no consoling the child because we can't pull her back inside. She wants her daddy to fix it and that is just all there is to it!
Now as we slowly recover, all of the little's are sleeping most of the time and we are exhausted. I wish we could keep this from them but our system doesn't work that way. So tonight the body is exhausted, our throat hurts and we are fighting the overwhelming desire to just cry as we fight the pain in our back. Julie Girl and Jewel worked on a design for stuffed dragons tonight and Charlie is figuring it out in crochet. We will see what they come up with but for now we are going to bed.
Remember, memories can not own you but sometimes they will define who you are, if you let them.
