I’m floored with another! fifth disease! flare-up! and all three of the kids are home sick with various and sundry illnesses. Gooooooo Roberts! I actually took one to school, only to have him call from the office at ten past nine for me to come back and pick him up. Me? Oh, well, let’s see: arms and legs in agony, extremely tired, swollen feet and ankles, fuzzy cognition (shut up). When I put it all together this morning I suddenly realized why my abdomen has been hurting for three days. It’s just been a while since the last flare-up, and eight months since the first. Yep, nothing like childhood diseases in an over-forty body. Comedy gold!

More evidence of impaired cognition and ability to function: I just realized that FOUR Momversation videos have posted since I last updated my episodes, and they are good ones. Some funny, some not so much. And the one I’m to record today on overcoming depression should be an all-out scream fest. What happens when you don’t feel up to talking about depression? Do you just stare into the camera? Put on The Cure in the background?

If you need me, I’ll be… not answering email. You might catch me by phone, because the ringing drives me up a wall. Carry on.
