I don't know about you all, but I've had a funky couple of months. Typically, the kids bring home their foul germs from school, spread it to their siblings, Scott gets a touch of whatever and I'm immune. I think I've had the "too busy to get sick" inti bodies and was grateful, albeit perpetually exhausted from nursing everyone else.

Well, this year, having all my kids in school full time, I've been catching up on my sleep with a few morning naps. The problem is, it's thrown off my delicate balance and I'm now the sickliest one of all!

For a while at the beginning of the school year, I had these phantom pains in my side that sometimes reduced me to moaning and yelping when I turned a certain way. I've had colds, headaches, flu-like symptoms, then the full on stomach flu AND now my eye won't stop twitching! It's almost like I've aged 20 years in a matter of months.

Maybe all the years of birthing and nursing have finally caught up with me.
