"The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together."
--Erma Bombeck
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
--Mother Teresa

3am

Yep, it's 3am. 3:00 in the morning. That can only mean one thing. Sickness has come to our house. I am sick. Emily and Abby are sick and getting worse by the minute. Thankfully Geoff and Sophie have been spared so far. To say that I'm scared would be the understatement of the century. I am so worried about Abby and how things are going to go with her. I have been praying and praying that her airway stays open enough for her to get the amount of air that she needs. She is watching Rio and drinking ice water and laying on her favorite fluffy pillow as I type. Please say a little prayer for her!
