You've got to be kidding

Today was quite a day. It was so bad it's simply laughable. I've been working a huge project at work for the past few months. We completely redesigned our US website and it has been quite an undertaking. I've had to work long hours late into the night for the past few weeks. Then Todd got a new job and is in California for training. He'll spend 2 days at home over a 3 week period (only 8 more days until he's home). On top of the website redesign this week is our global convention at work and since we're celebrating 25 years it has been huge and there have been lots and lots of extra projects.

So Today was the big launch at 10:00 am. At 8:20 this morning Claire threw up. She begged me to stay home with her today but that was just impossible. Meggan said it was quite a day and she was sick all day. Around 3:30 pm I noticed my right hand was achy and that my arm was red and swollen where my burn is (I burned my arm on the minivan exhaust last Saturday reaching under the car for a run away tissue). I called the doctor's office and hurried over there to find out that I have cellulitis.

The best part is that for 10 years I've been making fun of Todd since he's had it 4 times. Twice since we've been married. I'd never even heard of cellulitis until I met him and he was actually hospitalized for it when he was a kid. When the doctor told me what it was I just laughed. When I explained to him that I deserved to have this because of all my teasing he laughed along with me.

It has been quite a rollercoaster of events in the house. I guess when it rains it pours. At least I know that it's raining blessings on me too.

Wow what a day, poor you and poor Claire. I can't believe you burned yourself on exhaust! One of these days I need to go to dream dinners with you again. My dinners have really stunk lately!

That really sucks. I'm glad you provided a link. I was totally clueless. Do you need some help? Call if you do. Sassy loves your kiddos, even when there are accidents ;)

One more day! (right?) You've been on my mind all week, with your sick kids, no husband, and your infection. Hope Todd is coming home tomorrow!

Seriously Kathy, with all that running that you do, there is no way that you have cellulitus...the doc has to be wrong on that one. :)
