Spreading the Love

Our stay in Idaho has had a pretty rough start. Unlike last time, we didn't fly, so we didn't have to worry about security ruining our suitcase. That was a relief. But once again, we aren't the healthiest bunch on the block. Here's a quick summary of the past three days:

Day 1 - Monday

• Woke up with the stomach flu and spent the whole day unshowered, in my pj's, writhing in misery on the couch and running to the bathroom every hour or so. (Luckily my mom wasn't too busy with work so she could watch Sophie up in her office. Thanks Mom :))
• Sophie was as happy as a clam going from room to room scattering toys all over and chasing the cat.

Day 2 - Tuesday

• Felt better, left the house once to go to lunch with my 'rents at Johnny Carinos. MMM.
• Played lots of Wii Tennis with my sister and made Mii's for everyone in the family.
• Had a nice long chat with my cousin Sarah, who came over to say hi. I've missed ya, cuz.
• Sophie was as happy as a clam going from room to room scattering toys all over and chasing the cat.

Day 3 - Wednesday

• Mom woke up with my stomach flu and spent the whole day in her bedroom.
• Dad started to get a little sick himself, but luckily it wasn't bad enough to keep him bed-ridden.
• I, feeling back to normal, yet terribly guilty for spreading my yak-germs to my parents, left the house to visit a friend in town.
• Sophie was as happy as a clam going from room to room scattering toys all over and chasing the cat.

When I get in situations like these, I try to look for the good...

• My Wii Fitness Age is only 30, which isn't bad for taking the test the day after I had the flu.
• Because of the late late spring that finally came to Idaho, the weeds and plants that usually make me miserable in June haven't worked their magic in the air. I've been allergy med-free since I got here. The cat isn't even bugging me, which is odd.
• Sophie has been so good since we've been here. I think a change of atmosphere has been good for her. Having a cat around the house helped, too.
• Steve will be here tomorrow. I miss him.
• After yakking my brains out all day Monday, I'm really glad that I don't get much morning sickness. Women who go through that are not just rock stars, they're superheros.
• I felt my little 4.5 inch munchkin kick for the first time. :)
• I finished Stephenie Meyer's new book, The Host. It sucked me in, but not quite as violently as the Twilight series. Aside from the qualms I have with the female main characters in both books, I think she's amazingly creative.
