Is this funny?

Thank you for being patient with the lack of pictures on our blog so far. Please humor me as I update you on the last 12 hours of our lives, and explain why the pictures haven't made it here. Well, let's back up to Sunday when Greer woke up screaming. She had thrown up in her crib, and Chad and I attributed it to the little bit of pizza we gave her the previous night at dinner. She recovered well, and we spent the next few days with Kate and Amelia who came up from Beaufort for a visit.

Yesterday Greer's little virus hit mommy with a gigantic thud. I felt nauseated, but attributed it to drinking OJ for breakfast (high acid content isn't always good for me). Later, all the food I had eaten came back up for a not-so-pleasant visit. You know the great thing about being sick and the mommy- YOU have to clean it up. By the way, Chad is in TX for the week. So after trying to convince myself that getting it all out was going to make me feel better, I noticed that I had the chills. Yikes! A virus! Kate was nice enough to give me some time to rest while she took the girls in another room, but with the chills I realized that I was contagious. She took Amelia, and Greer and I tried our best to make it through dinner, a bath, and bedtime.

I feel asleep at 8 pm, and feel somewhat better this morning. Good enough to take care of Greer, but not good enough to drive to Simpsonville like our original plan. You see Chad and I have tickets to the Clemson-Alabama game, and we planned a nice long weekend of rest in Atlanta. Chad's parents are keeping Greer. So...I hope to feel better soon, and I hope to see Chad real soon. Nothing like being sick to show you how much you need the people you love.

I'm so sorry you are sick. I am praying for quick healing so that you can get away with Chad.

Hugs,
