infected

two weeks ago, my family came down with a bad fever/cold/croup. Everyone was hit accept for Aaron. It was a miserable time, but we got through it. Aaron has been busy traveling back and forth from Vegas to Reno (trying a case in federal court/state capital). Most of his traveling has been day trips, but it's been exhausting nonetheless. (why is nonetheless one word?)

Yesterday he spent most of the day at the airport waiting for delayed flights. He got home after the kids were sleeping and he looked like death. The fever/cold/croup finally caught up with him. He crashed in the bed and when his alarm went off this morning, he didn't move. I was worried that he might be cold (and dead) but even before I touched him, I could feel the heat coming off his body. Poor guy. He spent the day in bed. I brought him some chicken noodle soup for lunch and asked him if he wanted me to spoon-feed it to him. He pinched me.

If seeing him sick wasn't bad enough, Zack came home from school today with red spots all over his body. Most of them are on his face/neck and armpits. Hello Chicken Pox. Ben and Luke had them together a few years ago. Zack and Simon have been vaccinated so I am sure the case will be mild, but I am praying my baby girl doesn't get struck down. Yesterday she had a slight fever and she hasn't been her happy self today so we'll see what hits this weekend. Nothing like a daily countdown for a family vacation only to have the Pox hit days before take-off. Last time we bought plane tickets for the whole family (Chicago/Detroit) we canceled the day before. Tying really hard not to be annoyed tonight, but I just can't help it.

In other news, I mopped my kitchen floor this afternoon while listening to Michael Buble's Christmas album. odd, but way good. And in the background as I type this, "The Holiday" is playing. It's one of my absolute favorite movies.. So excited for the next three months.. this is the BEST time of year.
