We’re a family that shares everything. We share our meals when we go out to eat. I share my library card with my boys when books need to be checked out. My boys share their toys without any squabbles.
When Matani got sick, naturally I thought, “I’ve got to get me some of that!” So share he did. I’m so glad to now know what the pounding headache, achy body, and green gunk coming out my lungs feels like. I’ve permanently stuffed tissue up my nose to stop it from running. Which, by the way, I think there might be a market for. I’d call my invention “Snot Plugs.” (If some guy name Boudreuax can sell “Butt Paste” I’m sure I can sell “Snot Plugs.”)
As Matriarch of this household I believe it my duty to make sure everyone gets their fair share of the bounty. Since we’ve all had or currently have the “cold of century” except Jake I thought he shouldn’t miss out on the fun. Before I serve him water I lick the rim of the glass. I also try really hard not to cover my mouth when I cough. Oh, and when he walks by I grab him and give him a good PG-13 kiss. He should be feeling the sinus pressure in no time.
A family that cares…shares!
Hey there! I’m Michelle; I’m an Passionate DIY’er and in constant pursuit of how to bring beauty to my house full of men (3 boys + 1 hubby). Stick around and see what I’ve got up my hard-working sleaves!
Haha you are so funny!! It seems like every family that I know of has had some sickness or another. Ours included. I hope you all get well soon. Did you add some new pictures on your side bar? They look great. I’ll save your mouse pad for you, for when you come visit me 🙂
Love the glass licking!
I think there’s some crazy sinus pressure all over the country right now. It made for a very long weekend here. I remember having a humidifier in Tucson and giving it away when we moved. I can’t imagine needing one in AR!
Hope you all feel better soon.
gregg always thinks that is what happens at the restaurant if you tick off the waiter…they will spit or lick on your glass…you are hilarious!
the germs are the best shared thing in our home too!
Sara, here, Kasey M.’s sister, also living in AZ — I look at your crafty and funny blog from time to time as I look at Kasey’s. I just had to say that your ottoman looks GREAT and the feng shui in the LR is wonderful! Just wanted to let you know who I was, since there tend to be lots of strangers blurking lately… cheers from a friend of a friend! Thanks for sharing the visual stimuation with all your clever projects. PS: my family has the snot from hades, too. So we feel your pain, literally!
we feel your pain here. sick kids. sick mom. sick husband. (which is by far the worst!)feel better soon!
I was hoping to get a preview picture of you wearing a protocol of the snot plugs!!!! lol Hope all of you feel better soon.
I love reading your blog. Even a post about being totally sick is entertaining. Sorry you’ve all been under the weather. Hopefully you are doing better!
PS- Love your new “Michelle” signature at the end of your post. So clever.
Hopefully by now you are past the sick days! Unfortunately Blake woke up sick yesterday with a cold. I am hoping Phoebe doesn’t get it! By the way your blog is so cute! I love that you put up pictures of your house, I had been wanting to show Mark how cute it was!
