We are a pathetic bunch, that's for dang sure!

Let me give you a run down of the last week. As pathetic as it is.

Mon-24hr flu sets in for Sam.
Tues-Sam's 24hr flu turns in to 36hr flu, but recovered in the late afternoon with just a little tiredness and hunger pangs.
Wed-Erin gets the stomach flu hardcore and can't even stand. Had to have Jordan leave work just to watch Sam for the day. So far Jordan is fine.
Thurs-Erin is still sick, but saved by anti-nausea pills and ginger ale (don't you love that stuff, it's pure heaven) The parents take Sam and they have a lovely time at the park, sliding down slides, swinging and taking walks on a pretty day. Erin proceeds to traffic court in the afternoon looking like a freak and feeling like one too. (by the way, don't speed in Taylorsville, don't think about doing it, don't even go over a tidbit, in fact just don't drive in Taylorsville at all.) After not eating for 40 or so hrs Erin over estimates her abilities and goes to Sweet Tomatoes for a family dinner. Wasn't so great.
Fri-5am Jordan is stricken by the bug and is trying his hardest not to wake Sam or Erin. Erin was confused at the commotion and so delusional from sleeping that she yelled at him " just get back in bed and quit being ridiculous, you're so *#&% ridiculous" she doesn't remember this happening, but Jordan does. Jordan has 2 huge heavy blankets on, covered head to toe in warm clothes and has a heating blanket on his back and is still shivering. So as of this afternoon, we are attempting to get back to normal. We've always said, everything happens in threes...well around our house, everything happens in sevens going on eights. Now we've just heard that the grandparents are ill. What a mess!

We are so pathetic!
