Back from the dead

Holy heck, the flu totally kicked my butt. I mean, a serious beat down. Stole my lunch money and everything. In fact, it managed to bring down the whole family for a little over a week. Claire started it all ON MY BIRTHDAY, and it slowly spread through the whole family. Josh even missed a whole week of work. It was a nightmare. Wanted to die, blah blah blah. (Just realized that you are probably so not interested in hearing all the details of my illness.)

Claire is watching some sort of tweeny programming on the Disney channel and is keeping a running commentary. "Now THAT was funny." "Oh, too gross" "Oh, that was a good one". She isn't talking to anyone in particular, since she is alone on the couch, she is just talking. It's possible that she got that from me.

Emma went back to school after a week long absence and came home Monday afternoon with the spoils of her missed valentine's day party. I was a little appalled at the sheer volume of candy she brought home. But a little excited too, cause, woohoo, free candy. Is it wrong that I am eating some of it while she is at school?
