A girl’s best friend? Yes, the dreaded cold has hit the Ishida house and none of us are immune. Of course Kei got it first so soaked up all the sympathy. By the time I got it he was still sick so I have been trying to make do withoput the sympathy and care that I should have expected. Instead I am asked constantly if I am even sick? I guess I just hide it better. Work is also crazy right now so I don’t have time to lay about on the couch and recover.

Ohhh…. and wiping a toddler’s snotty nose has been a regular ritual. Better than the alternative I guess. Thomas has picked up the rather gross habit of wiping his nose on his sleeve and my weak pregnancy stomach has chosen this week to kick itself into high gear which means I find myself retching whenever he does it. OK – that may have been too much information… apologies.

Woe is me…
