1) Be very grateful for a husband who gallantly took over sick bay when the stomach virus hit me last night. This was after two of the kids got sick and before two more fell victim to the plague. Luckily Rascal, who had it first, was definitely on the mend.

2. Pray the remaining three kiddos–plus Haus Meister–dodge it.

3. Laundry (first thing I did this morning was make the trip downstairs to make sure I could do this)

4. Drink Vernors Ginger Ale

Wash, rinse, repeat.
