My Beloved spent the entire weekend sleeping - evidently he was sick. He went down and stayed down for an entire 12 hours. He only does that when he's sick.Twin A is sick - snotty nose, general malaise (not to be confused with "malazy"), poor pikachu.
Twin B began today with barf, and continued steadily on this course through lunch. After a nap she says she is now "much better."
It's clear now that I have it too. My throat hurts, I feel like crap. I'm almost packed, almost ready. I need to cram last minute packing into my sleep time - sleep is the only thing I know that will kill whatever it is that is about to KILL MY WEEKEND OF FUN. Woe is me.
That said, here's a reason to be happy: it's International Talk Like A Pirate Day and I can't believe I forgot (thanks, GeekGirl!). Here is a short course on how to.
I'm happy to see that this site offers parenting tips for raising your young pirates. It's like they know me. And you. It's nice to get sound advice on when and where to maroon the disobedient child.
So, fly the jolly rogers, me harties!
Yarrr, y'all.

Arrr Matey! Don't ye be forgettin' to drink Emergen-C. It saved my Tri last weekend.

Oscillococcinum may work if it's flu-like symptoms. A friend of mine who studies homeopathic medicine told me about it. It is taken in 3 doses, which taste like little pellets of candy, over a 12 hour period at the onset of symptoms. You can find it at any whole foods store...just ask for the flu remedy. I was a skeptic, but it has worked for us! Hope everyone feels better soon.
Garrr, that sucks big time! Have you tried some green chile?
Bad timing! Get well soon. I was ill last weekend, not fun.
Arrr!

Oh my so sorry you are ill, even sorrier you had to deal with barfy kids....... that is my least favorite thing in the world.
I thought of you the other day while I was surfing the Runners World forums .... they had a link in a post to compute your pirate name for you based on a series f questions. Mine was "Dirty Jenny Rackham".
