Rowen's Birthday Gift.

I got my first birthday gift at 3:30 am. Rowen came into my room and announced that he had thrown-up. Oh joy. He was then up at 5:00 and 7:00 doing the same thing. Luckily his stomach was pretty empty.

We spent the rest of the early morning trying to minimize Rowens contact with the girls. If they did have to get close then they were told to at least use the bottle of Purell. Hopefully they won’t get sick. Eilish’s first meet of the season is Sunday and she will be bent out of shape if she has to miss it.

Rowen and I took the girls to school and now we are just hanging out. I called over to Rowen’s school to let them know that he would not be there today. The secretary said that half the class and the teacher were sick. Every ten minutes he asks if he can have a drink or something to eat and I tell him no trying to buy ten more minutes of him not throwing-up. Actually he has gone about two hours now without getting sick so maybe we’ve turned the corner and the plague will curse us no more. Until next week.

Rowen just fell asleep so I think I will try to take a short nap to. After all he wasn’t the only one who was up every other hour of the morning. I’ll blog more later.

Peace and Good Cheers,
Marty

Marty...things were so crazy at the gym tonight I didn't even get a chance to tell you Happy Birthday! I hope you had a good one, and I will see you on Sunday at the meet.

Wendy and Catha- Thank you for the birthday wishes. I had a pretty good day even with Rowen being sick. At least I didn't have to work on my birthday.

Marty,
I am way out-of-the-loop and I just heard about Christa. Such a loss. I am so sorry. I graduated from BHS with her.

I noticed on her blog, that she was hoping to get some scrapbooking done. I am not as artistic as Christa, but I would be willing to see if I could help catch up on the scrapbooking end--all digital so we could do this via e-mail.

I'm not a poster to blogs, more of a lurker, so I am hoping you can e-mail me via this post. If not, you can contact me through my website at www.thelelands.org.

I hope the meet went well and that the rest of you were spared from the plague.

Ugh, Marty. By now, I hope that Rowen's over it and that you and the girls didn't get it! Those things are so contagious, though...

Here's to bolstered immune systems in your house!

Hi all. Thanks for the comments. We seem to avoided a major outbreak of plague in the house and we've started the week well.

C.K. Best Dad ever may be a little over the top. Just a little.
