Happy Days

We've had a rough few weeks. It was all my fault. I had been talking with a friend about how families pass germs around (Juliet and I both had just gotten colds). And I said that our family really wasn't the type to get some kind of sickness and then pass it round and around and around. Of course, days after I say that Macie comes in to the bathroom and announces that she just threw up (and there was plenty more to come). Within a couple of days Ryan got sick and then Juliet and then Rich. And then Ryan and Juliet again. And then me. All of that along with me already having a cold, the cloudy weather, me overcommitting myself to some things that I should have just gotten out of, and all of us being trapped in the house for way too many days--it was just too much. I was a huge, huge grouch. But we are finally all healthy, the sun has come out, summer vacation has started and I've realized how grateful I am for the times when life feels great.
