The kids and I have been sick all week. No, its not the swine flu. But that hasn’t stopped people from asking if it is! You almost see a glimmer of disappointment in their eyes when they discover that you are not infected with the piggy disease. This little predicament has resulted in quite a few jokes. While rattling off our symptoms to friends and family I say something like the following…
I have a runny nose, sore throat, low grade fever and the uncontrollable urge to roll around in the mud…
This resulted in a rather lengthy conversation with Todd on whether rolling in the mud was funnier than saying that my symptoms were accompanied by the constant aroma of bacon. He firmly believes that bacon is funnier than mud. What do you think?
Todd has a new article up on Business First. [Click Here to read] Be sure to check it out. And if you missed any of his old articles you can catch up on his blog [Click Here].
Sydney has her choir concert tonight and than we are off for the holiday weekend. Those of you who are out of towners may be wondering what holiday would allow the kids to be out of school on May first? Why the Oaks of course! The day before the Kentucky Derby (or the Locals day at the races) is called Oaks day and there is never school on Oaks day. So tomorrow sit back pick some tulips (the official flower of the Oaks) and pick a pony for the win!

I think you can rule out the swine flu if after you eat that you don’t get the urge to lay down and grunt and bask in the sun!! If you start to eat like a HOG (with your mouth opened) and snort the whole time your eating could mean that you have been ifected with the virus. Glad you feel better. I read Todd’s article. I am so proud of him. Tell my great niece’s I love them to the top of the World and back again and again!!
Bacon. That line definitely got a laugh out of my family.
No school holiday here in MA, but that didn’t stop us from getting up with the sun and going down to the river to take part in May Day celebrations (singing, dancing round the maypole, watching morris dancers, wearing wreaths etc.). Quite a notable collection of local eccentrics gathered in one place….
