This is a recap of my life over the past week and a half. Last Monday I woke up and felt slightly crummy. I went to Classical Conversations anyway. First mistake. I sat next to my favorite Latin partner (non-sibling) at the aforementioned CC. Second mistake. Got home, watched Air Force One with family and took my temp. 101.3. That wasn't appreciated. Wake up Tuesday morning with a HUGE headache and took my temperature again. 102.4. Oh, great. Completely miserable in bed all day Tuesday. Peter, too. Woke up Wednesday morning. Sarah had already informed us that being sick is all mental. Wednesday morning, she felt crummy, and yet held to the fact that it was all mental and that she just had to tell herself that she wasn't sick. She was sick. Wednesday another miserable day in bed, only this time, Sarah was also in bed. Woke up Thursday much better, only with a cold. It was raining outside and Dad didn't want the roof to cave in, so he asked me to clean the roof off. I, being the wonderful girl I am, complied. I cleaned off the roof and am surprised that I didn't get pnuemonia. Now, on Tuesday night, when I was miserable in my bed, a friend of ours dropped of her two girls, ages 13 and almost 17 to stay with us for 12 days while she visisted Arizona to care for a dying aunt. Whoa. She ahd just asked us to take them on Sunday...two days before they were going to move in for almost two weeks. Well, now it's been 10 days and going fine. It'll be weird once they leave, though. Let's go back to Wednesday. If you remember, Sarah woke up sick on Wednesday, but so did someone else. My FLP (favorite Latin partner) did, too. He was sick until Saturday. So, Saturday his older brother had already planned to have a friend over, and since my FLP was feeling better, he didn't cancel. His mistake. One hour after his friend had left, my FLP's older brother was in bed, sick. The next day their brother got it, too. So, I infected multiple people, and could have infected more. My FLP's older brother's friend, for example, has a two month old younger brother, plus seven other siblings, all who could potentially have gotten sick. They didn't, which was really good, but next time I'm going to take my temperature BEFORE I leave the house. Yep, that's my plan.

P.S. The girls who are staying with us didn't get sick, thankfully, and they are having fun!!
