Well, I caught the bug too. The infamous 36-hour stomach bug that waylaid our kids, that is. It ran its course yesterday; I was pretty useless at work and very, very glad to come home to Diane and the kids. D made her vaunted broccoli chicken casserole (which I didn’t eat then but had a generous helping of leftovers for lunch today) and made a “spot” for me on the couch after we’d put the boy and girl in their<\/em> spots for the night. A good night’s sleep, bland foods, sipping ginger ale and easing back into the normal food routine and all is right with the world again.<\/p>\n

Wonderful anniversary weekend. We dropped the kids off with Mom and Dad on Friday evening and spent Friday and Saturday nights in a hotel; just a mini-getaway for the two of us. No plans, few expectations other than just time together, something we’ve needed for a while. We visited the NC Art Museum<\/a>, did a little shopping but otherwise just laid low until it was time to reclaim the children on Sunday morning. Mom and Dad and the kids had a good time too. They planted flowers on Saturday morning, helped a family friend celebrate a birthday that evening and took Grandpa to the airport at the crack of dawn Sunday morning. Luke had some “readjusting” to do, coupled with the letdown from the end of a fun weekend, but Monday morning everybody was chipper again. Diane even had her best night of sleep in months, a real stunner.<\/p>\n
