katarina's turn

I thought, since it's been almost a week, that maybe the stomach virus had left our house. I did, after all, tell it to get lost. But yesterday Katarina got hit by it. The poor thing didn't sleep well last night - she was up at least 7 times. Which means I was up a couple of times. My children know that I'm there for them when they are sick, to sit, to cuddle, to get them some sparkling water; they also know I will be wearing a blue bandana over my face through it all. I really, really, really don't want to be sick on Christmas!
We have a 'For Sale' sign in our front yard. When we began a snowman we found it looked pretty good next to the sign. It looked ESPECIALLY good once we made him wave with the left hand while pointing at the sign with his right. We're sure to sell the house now with him as our salesman.
