The house of plague

In the last two days:

Xander was put on antibiotics for an ear infection that wouldn't go away.

I came down with the flu.

Ari vomited all over me, my pillow, Jonathan's clothes, and the keyboard.

One of our children completely snapped off one of the sides of my glasses, so now I can't see.


The upshot?  You should buy stock in Netflix and Redbox because we're keeping them in business.  For kids, Hotel Transylvania and the latest Ice Age were fun.  Thomas the Train is getting some serious play.  I quite enjoyed the exquisite acting of Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones in Hope Springs, and the French film The Well-Digger's Daughter made me smile.

Ahhh there's Ari....



Edited to add: two ER visits later, Ari is much much better.  He's now drinking.  He and Jonathan both have meds for strep throat.  X is fine.  I am fine.  Our house, however, is at a whole new level of sunken mess.  Please do not come over.
