The Tummy Bug

There is a dreadful tummy bug going around our house this weekend.
It started with Jacob on Thursday and today has hit Charlie and moved on tonight to Sophie.

Sophie (amid sobs, hands clenched to her belly): MOMMY! My tummy HURTS!
Me (empathetically): I know darlin'. You caught the tummy bug.
Sophie (head down, resigned, still sobbing): Okay. (sob, sob). I think it was a mosquito.

I think I remember Maddie thinking that tummy bugs were real bugs too, very cute.

P.S. we had one run through our family a week ago and it was awful. Somehow I'm not allowed to be as sick as everyone else, how do Mom's get the brunt of it, who is there to take care of us?

And now it's spread to Maddie and Savanna!

Those mosquitos can be pretty terrible! Hope you all get over your bugs. Seems like Richard is holding out. Tell him to succumb and get it over with. Tell Sophie I have a "bug" in my mouth. Had my wisdom teeth out and my jaw is swollen. I look like black and blue chipmonk!
