we're all quite sickly

Nathan came home from his business trip just in time to get really sick. Not fun. It took a few deep breaths and a prayer for me to get over my dashed expectations of Nathan coming home and relieving me of my single-parentish duties since he was gone.
Kate was very sick the whole time he was gone, coughing and crying all night. So with all her coughing and all my rocking her to sleep and kissing her fevered head through the night, I got sick too. I wouldn't trade it for those cuddly moments though. She was so pitiful, coughing all over me one minute and then stroking my hair and saying, "Monny" the next. Just precious.
So far Riley and Claire are fine. I'm feeling much better and Kate is on her antibiotics, so things should be looking up.

Oh, I am SO SORRY that you guys have been sick. That must have been rough for everyone when Nate came home and got sick. I hope you all are completely recovered SOON.

today i got a vitamin pill lodged in my throat, and now my throat is bruised. don't worry, the pill came un-lodged. but, my throat kind of feels like i'm sick now. so... no, i don't feel your pain. sorry about your sickliness.
