Lifesavers

We are still all a little sick at our house, but we're getting better. We now to the coughing stage, but not so stuffed up. Hopefully by Wednesday will be back to 100%. I got to take a nap both Saturday and Sunday, so that was a good thing.

On Saturday Kevin called me waking me up from my nap. I was pretty groggy so I couldn't quite figure out what was going on. He asked me if I had any lifesavers. The conversation went like this.

Kevin: Do you guys have any lifesavers?
Me: No.
Kevin: Do you know where you can get them?
Me: The candy isle in the grocery store.
Kevin: How much do they cost?
Me: I think they're under $2.
Kevin: Wow.
Me: ???
Kevin: But I think I want a cool one that flips open? Do they have those?
Me: Wait what are you talking about? Did you say lifesavers or Light Sabers?
Kevin: Light Sabers.
Me: Oh, that makes more sense. Yes we have light sabers.

Pathetic

Our whole family has been pretty sick since Sunday. Usually we don't all get ill, and if we do, we're usually staggered. This time we got it all at once. It is pretty pathetic to hear everyone's froggy voices and see everyone just lie around.

There is a Primary song titled "A Happy Family." I keep thinking about us and "A Pathetic Family" keeps popping into my mind.

Mommy's coughing, can't you see?
Daddy's retching, yes sirree.
We're all sick, and so you see,
We're a pathetic family.

Lisette's glazed over, Saffron too,
Miles and Ian have the flu.
We're all sick, and so you see,
We're a pathetic family.

My apologies to the Primary board for that little song. We are starting to get better, really, we are.
