We have just had a tricky day, and I've come to realize that it is often the few days after our kids are sick that are actually harder than when they are sick... I know you mentioned that you have had some sickness in the house, so I thought I would throw that out there. It doesn't make much sense, but seems to be a trend for us.Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527451780743595255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218602897331908767.post-45135064616211597522010-03-08T08:45:16.497-05:002010-03-08T08:45:16.497-05:00I also have these days.
