Sorry my foray back into blogging has been so quiet lately; I had grand plans to actually write that have been knocked about by four weeks of Super Virus Pinball 2008 at home. First one kid, then the other, bringing and sharing coughs and sniffles and other viral delights. At least this year I was armed with the dark-chocolate-aid-for-coughs at the start of this deluge and didn’t suffer too horribly.

This last bout may be from other sources, though; according to the PA who diagnosed me with The Flu (second time since moving here) there has been a large uptick of cases in the last couple of weeks locally. I’ve noticed sniffles among workfriends and their offspring, too, so it might all just still be Going Around.

But finally, I think I can safely claim that everyone’s getting better. Oh, and that I haven’t been paying attention or the kids are growth spurting madly. I Wolfie has apparently sprouted four inches and Helvi two, just going by the distance between their pant legs and their shoe tops. And now Wolfie’s in that stage most of the Beta mom’s kids hit (and all of his cousins hit) right about now … the size that fits in the waist is too short on the legs, and the size that fits on the legs are too wide in the waist. So I’ve got a few nights sewing laid out for me, altering those: short pants with worn knees converting to shorts, long pants getting adjusted at the waist.

Happy (atchooo!) Spring! (sniffle sniffle)
