The Gibson family has arrived at the half-way mark in bringing this stomach virus full circle. Now, after knowing I will not die, I can reflect a bit and make light of the events of the past week. I would love to offer up some pieces of knowledge I have accumulated living with this ugly sickness that has grab hold of myself and Will and Grant.
1. Did you hear of the lose 10 pounds in 10 hours diet?
2. A mom hears the whimpers of pain and the moans of hurt of a child, but a dad can sleep through it all. Yet, when the mom experiences these same symptoms, the husband wakes up the next morning and exclaims his wife is "weird", has no sympathy for her, and makes fun of her for making those same noises as she suffered all night long.
3. Even though you think it might be better to have your brother drive because you are weak and are off-kilter, think again. (Maybe that's the real reason Grant puked in your truck. Hmmm.)
4. At 2:30 in the morning, 45 minutes between a child's pukes is just the right amount or time to fold 4 loads of laundry. Why go back to sleep anyway?
5. All my boys have comfortable beds.
6. If you don't know which end to put on the toilet, go with the rear one. Then, it frees your hands up to hold the bucket for the other end.
So, enjoy your sunshine. I'll keep you posted on the progress of this flu and any other new tidbits of junk I acquire. Enjoy!
