Sick.

We've been sick.

Really, really sick.

And this time, it hit Mom the hardest.  Normally I may get a  mild fever and a small cough, which slows me down but does not stop me.  But not this time.  I was fighting a major fever for about five days with a killer cough and a non-stop headache. All while still trying to do the mom-thing and take care of a my sick boys and getting the girls to school and picking them up.  And attempting homework.

I am willing to admit that we ate a lot of cereal, pizza, and McDonald's.

It was pure awesomeness, let me tell you.

I am now fully functioning again (with the slightest bit of a cough), and am now considering posting on the blog again.

Although I really don't have a lot of things to post about.  I was dying there for a little while, people.  It did not inspire a lot of fun around the Merrill home (and yes, I have a tendency toward the dramatic when I am sick).
