If you've checked my blog over the past couple of days and thought to yourself...those McLaughlin's must be so busy playing with all of their new Christmas presents to take time to write a post...au contraire. I should have known when the kids were so not like themselves on Sunday that they were coming down with something. Careline was the first to fall victim to the nasty flu bug before Sunday was even over. That meant that she and her Daddy stayed home and missed Christmas Eve at Grandma Ginger's house. It was at that very Christmas Eve celebration when I began to shiver and knew that I was flu bug Victim #2. If you think this story ends here...you're wrong. I spent most of Christmas Day in bed, really only up long enough to watch the kids open their presents and later to let Pat (Victim #3) take a long nap in our bed. Buddy never became terribly ill...but he's got a hacking cough like the rest of us, his eyes just look sick, and he's taken a nap each day for the past couple of days...so we'll name him Victim #4. I'm really hoping that Adeline doesn't come down with anything since she's already on antibiotics for an ear infection she had last week...but at this point I'm thinking if she doesn't become ill it would be a Christmas Miracle.
On a happier note...we got some great presents and are looking forward to using them when we're feeling better. Hope your Christmas was Merry and much Healthier than ours!
