March Malaise

The past week here at the Aebi household has been a living hell. First, Evelyn gets the flu, and then I get it. This was Evelyn's first major vomitting experience, and it was terrible. She would not lean over the pan we had for her. She just wanted to hug me, so it was pretty messy. That was Saturday morning. Then, Monday morning I got it. Then Wednesday, Joe got it. My sister, Suzanne, came to take care of me on Monday so that Joe could go to work, and guess what? She came down with it, too. Last word was that her husband, James, does not yet have it. Keep your fingers crossed, 'cause this one is a bitch to avoid.

All of this came right on the heels of the three of us getting over a cold. It is all I can do to keep myself from cussing a blue streak.

This is the fourth time that Joe has been sick in the month of March. As you can imagine, we are not sad to see March go. March gets a great big middle finger from the Aebi's.

Yesterday was the first day this week that I have not had to launder something with either vomit or diarrhea on it.
