God Bless Nurse Mary

she has spent a lot of time with Katie at school the last 2 days...kate's throat & head were hurting yesterday, she was there twice for cough drops & tylenol. today she was hit with a basketball in the head & was dizzy, so went to get checked out & lay down. Nurse Mary is good to send home reports....great scrapbook fodder. poor kate. kevin took her out of school early to go to dr., they both got antibiotics---green snot. he was going to take kj, too, (the 1st to get sick) but he had play practice. meanwhile, dear old mom has lost her voice. I just started feeling bad last nite. I'm sure I'll live for a day or two to take care of the rest of them... hell, the dog is even coughing some. this spring/winter/spring/winter weather sucks...throw in daylight savings time & gloomy wet days...
tonite in deb's kitchen: homemade pepperoni extra cheese pizza for kj; steak & broccoli cheese rice for kevin & kate; banana bread for deb. (I started out wanting steak, then changed my mind.) actually, the banana bread smells good, but I'm not so sure now. what tastes good with snot?
the poor dog loves to sit in chairs with people, kevin is sitting down, she'll be with him for awhile, then go sit with kate, then follow me around a while...I'm doing laundry & making supper & filling the dishwasher...because evidently even though I don't feel good either, someone has to keep shit going. and working at home is mucho better than working at work. besides, stiff shots of cough syrup & handfuls of exedrin migrane can cure about any ailment. she stands at kj's door, but he won't let her in to sit in his chair. he's more of a cat person, but he's not above talking for the dog or trying to get her to piss the cat off so they will fight. the cat is afraid of the dog. the dog could care less. ms. cuddles is at twice the size of itty bitty sasha rose.
