Okay, it’s September 1st - and we’re dealing with our first illness of the new school year! I kept thinking maybe it was allergies, but no - it’s a yucky cold, making its way through our household, infecting everyone with snotty noses and hoarse voices. And of course, the MOM always has to suffer doubly - first, I get to comfort sick children at all hours of the night, and then I get to hack up a lung myself for the next week. Wahhhhh!

This was the fastest 3-day weekend in history, since I spent most of it lying around feeling puny. I got my act together enough yesterday to host a mini birthday party for the big kids, and Courtney came over and tried to take some pictures of my kids in the rain and wind. Hopefully she managed to get a few cute ones - between the shitty weather and my kids being little grouchyheads, I’m not sure what she’s going to pull out of her hat. She always manages to dazzle us, though. She let Kim and I preview a shot of the two of us sitting with our dad, and it’s precious - I can totally see it hanging on the wall in my parents’ house!

Tomorrow, I’m taking cupcakes to Pablo and Mallory’s kindergarten classes - at two separate times during the day. Will this birthday celebration never end? I’m already over it. And it’s 10:25 p.m. and I’m going to bed. Wow! I MUST be sick!
