It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

So, we're still sick. Jamie's hospital X-rays finally came back, disproving the pneumonia theory and likely pointing in the direction of H1N1. Fortunately, we've survived the worst and are no longer I-can't-drag-my-body-out-of-bed kinda sick but more like the walking dead. We're back in school and life and are no longer contagious but the lingering cough and fatigue are pretty darn miserable.

Plus, we've been busy helping my in-laws pack for their big move next week, which ain't exactly helping in the Rest and Recovery process.

Of course life with The Children is never dull, especially when you have Hadley around who is the very antithesis of boring. While snuggled up before bedtime, we had the following conversation.

Me: I want to hear the best and worst things that happened to everyone today.

Jamie: The worst thing that happened to me was when Hadley ate my ice cream.

Me: Oh. Anyone else?

Hadley: My best thing was when I ate Daddy's ice cream.

Helping inlaws pack. Oh that makes me sad for you. I hope you are on the mend soon. I've been fighting some funk for a week now myself, as my eyelids half shut.

Funny stuff...well, not the sickness and the in-laws moving but the ice cream part.

Lei said...

Out of the mouths of babes... lol. Sorry you had to go through that too. It took our family 3 weeks to walk amongst the living again.

Amber said...

I'm on week 3 right now. Cough is the worst...fear bronchitis. Should just suck it up and go to the doc.

Yvonne said...

I really think a visit to the doc is in order.

That Hadley just cracks me up.

I'm starting to think that this is what my Hubby had a few weeks ago and what my oldest have right now. Those two NEVER get sick, but they had horrible fevers and then a cough that just wouldn't go away...
Hope you guys are doing better now!
