*cough* *cough*

Soooo.....a few weeks ago Jereme came home from work and said "man, I worked with this guy today who seemed like he was dying of the flu!!" Great I thought to myself. This was a Thursday.

By Monday my littlest child was sick with fevers. He was sick Monday through Friday. On Friday I finally took him to the doctor and our wonderful doctor said "Yup, he has a positive Flu test!" sigh. By Friday, though, he was feeling better.

Saturday my oldest child started running fevers and not feeling well. I put him on Tamiflu (an antiviral designed for the flu) right away. He didn't go to school Monday, but my littlest (who was all better) and my middle both did.

Monday night my middle child came home from school with fevers. No school for her on Tuesday.

Tuesday I had two children (middle and oldest) running around the house like chickens with their heads cut off, no more fevers but not in school either. Wednesday I sent them back to school. By now (Tuesday) I was sick. Oh, and I hadn't been to the clinic since the Monday before when my littlest fell sick.

Wednesday, finally! All children back in school. I'm still sick, but eh, at least they're all in school and well!!

Wednesday night my oldest comes home with a fever again, and looks awful. No school for him on Thursday. Other two are well still, I'm still sick.

Thursday night, my oldest starts puking (FUN!! sigh.) and I'm still miserable

Friday youngest and middle are still in school and well, my throat, feels sore first thing in the morning and I have a bit of cough but otherwise good. My oldest looks much better. No more puking, and he's finally eating and the fever is gone. Yay maybe we are finally over this thing!! Now if we could all four shake this cough..... (and btw Jereme never even got sick!)

One year ago

One year ago yesterday eHarmony.com matched me with a group of local men. Out of that group, I chose to only start communicating with two. Of the two, only one was interesting enough to continue to communicate with, and his name was Jereme. It has been one year since the start of our amazing whirlwind of a romance and I am still loving every minute of it. Jereme asked me a few days ago when it was that that feeling would wear off. Many of you know the feeling he spoke of, the feeling of not wanting to go to work (or whatever) because it involves leaving each other for a brief time. We just can't get enough of each other, still, and wonder if and when it will wear off. Some have suggested to Jereme it would wear off after the first year, we shall see. But I know from personal experience, when I am totally in love with someone, it never really wears off.

We've been talking a lot about midwifery, and the wedding, and school, and the honeymoon, and having more children. Wow how my life has changed in the last 18 months, it's barely even recognizable as mine. I am living such a blessed life, in a career that I love, with three amazing children and one of the most amazing men I have ever met.

I truly feel like I'm living a dream.
