it's getting crazy around here

you know how when something big is about to happen, like say for example... you're about to have a baby, and your plan is for things to calm down, chill out so that you can just focus on the big event? while you may be laughing, i do believe that short seasons of calm can actually happen. however, it's not guaranteed. my plan has been to descend into that couple of weeks with ease, but the plan has been foiled. there's lots of turbulence.
for one, 3 out of 4 of us have been sick for weeks. mac had an awful respiratory bug that lasted about 10 days and i picked that up from him. then, bode got a stomach bug... i got that, too. so i've been down for the count for the last couple of weeks. sometimes i've been able to function, other times i've just been in bed (or on or around the toilet...). i know, i know. poor me.
i'm feeling much better and have actually slept the last few nights. but this morning bode awoke with the awful cough that mac and i had. so it looks like we're not out of the woods yet. davidrussell has iron immunity so we're hopeful there.

it gets better. i'm currently blogging on dr's computer as mine went into a coma this morning. i'm headed to the apple store this afternoon, praying my computer hasn't crashed. so i don't know when you'll hear from me again. i'm bummed b/c i had planned to say much more to you before i had the baby. i'll still try.

while we may not be floating in calm like i had planned, it's still easy to stay focused on what (and who) is coming. it's just not a "well-rested" focus. but that's ok.
