Potty Talk and the Messy March Blues

Evvie's been poopin' up a storm since Thursday. Yes, it's the big "d"- diarrhea. She's run-down and sick with a rashy irritated bottom. Not to be outdone, mama got the barfy belly over the weekend, too.

I'm living with a bunch of sickies.

Evvie did have enough energy Sunday night to find these "stickers" in mama's bag and stick them to us. We labelled ourselves so we wouldn't get confused as to who was who.

In more uplifting news, the nasty March snowbanks got covered up with a new coat of pristine white, before that white changed to sleet, freezing rain & rain that knocked out the power. This killed our basement sump pump and caused a nice flood among the boxes and unfinished projects that clutter our basement. Was I thinking that I was ready for spring?

It's been an exhausting five or six days. Evvie's finally turned the corner and is feeling better, and our hopes are that mama will, too. With any luck the harbinger of spring will be a bluebird with a basket of marshmallows, puppies, fluffed towels and things less nasty than these past few days have brought.

    Nice "stickers"! I had to blow up the picture to actually figure out what they were! Ha!!
    Sorry that the girls are sick. Apparently testosterone makes you immune to the barfy belly.
    I hope that everyone is feeling better and that you don't catch the ickyness! See ya soon (about 14-15 more weeks!! Wow!!)

    What a man! My husband would never touch those "stickers" nonetheless stick one on himself!

    Hope everyone gets better soon!
