Getting Better

We've been sharing a nice little bug around our house lately. I think that we're pretty much all on the mend... at least, I pray so. Doug is on his second day off of work. It is rare for him to miss work at all, so I know that he must feel totally horrible. Of course, it is a bit of a slow time for him at work, so that makes missing a bit easier I would think. Kinda reminds me of when I was in fourth grade... I wasn't a big fan of my teacher (she gave me C's in citizenship - the nerve!). Anyway, I was feeling "bad", so I was able to stay home from school. Mom had to go somewhere, so I was home with Dad. He let me help him put flooring in the attic... and when Mom came home, I was riding the bike around the yard. Oops!

Anyway, I had a touch of the bug yesterday, but I am feeling better. Amanda's nose is still running a little bit, as is James'. I think that we'll all pull through shortly. James has been having a rough go of it at bedtime lately. I think that it must be tooth related. I noticed this morning that his eighth tooth is on the brink of popping through. I'm not sure that is the one that has been causing him fits, though. He seems to be chewing on his fingers (and everything else that he can get) farther towards the back of his left side. Perhaps some of those larger guys are moving into place.

I need to be more focused on writing here every day. It is so hard with everything going on and everyone needing my attention... I'll try to be more dedicated. Gotta go - James is crying and Amanda is wanting to read a book.
