Scrambled Eggs and Mucus

Evan is sick. It could be Porcine Flu, and it could be just Regular Stuffy Head Fever Cough Whiny Sneezy Make Your Mother Take Care Of Your Every Need kind of sick. The doctor's office is swamped with both varieties, so swamped that they stopped testing for both and tell the Overworked Rundown Going To Get Sick Anyway Mother to treat it as if it were.

We have a great pediatrician. He looks young enough to be my son, and he is almost as funny. And he has confessed to us that when he sees that Evan is on the schedule it makes his day brighter.


He checks Evan's ears, looks up his nose and in his mouth.

How is your appetite?

Well, I'm only hungry for breakfast food.


Neither one of us can control our snorts.

As we walk out the door the doctor wishes Evan well and hopes that he will be up to lunch and dinner in no time at all.

I hope Evan gets better soon. The flu is so scary. M had to stay home last week because so many kids in her class were ill. We are trying very hard to keep her out of the hospital this year. Taking extra precautions.

I love the pictures on your side bar. You two are adorable.
