the creeping crud

so, it's been a yucky couple of days here. in the middle of the night on thursday (early morning), i came down with the first case of stomach flu that i've had in YEARS. 2 and a half thoroughly unpleasant days later, i'm finally on the mend. luckily, brian was able to take a personal day on thursday and had off on friday, so i didn't have to fend for myself and the kids alone. THAT would have been quite possibly the worst thing ever.

this case of ickiness even sullied what i thought would be the most exciting day of this calendar year so far, the day we BOUGHT A VAN. thursday afternoon we went in, the van got the bob schultz seal of approval, and we did the paperwork and drove it home. however, i couldn't enjoy one second of it, what with the hot flashes/sweat surges and insanely frequent trips to the bathroom. now that i'm feeling somewhat better, though, i'm ready to enjoy our new purchase. i did manage to get the carseats moved yesterday and we took it to the library and to the grocery store during one of my better phases. this thing's got more storage than you can shake a stick at. it's AWESOME. i shall post a picture soon.

abby quote of the day:
a: "why is it so windy outside?"
m: "i don't know, sweetie."
a: "i think it's because we have too much air."
