We won't be having soup for a while

Last night I was ready ship the boys off … either them or me!!  The two little ones and I had been feeling crummy all day and then Ricky started in with the coughing too.  I will spare the details, but as we sat down for dinner with my mom and aunt, I renamed the boys with Native American type names … Screams-for-Food,  Disgusting-Cough-Boy, and Pukes-at-sight-of-Soup.   It took an eternity for that meal to be over and then I canceled family night … sometimes you just are not in the mood for more togetherness!

Did I mention that I love them anyway?  Billy gets the saddest little sick eyes.  Ricky just really hates soup.  And Rusty doesn’t use his words yet so all we get are yells (we did find that chocolate milk calmed him down for a bit though — good to know).  Another day and another dinner … can’t wait!
