MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! So... I wanted to say that yesterday, and the day before really, however, I have been seriously incapacitated. I managed to ruin Christmas for 8 people including my sons, by being horribly sick for Christmas. I dont know what it was, I have no idea how i caught it, but it was fantastically horrible. The most foul, disgusting stuff coming out both ends for two and half days, plagued by a fever that hoevered in the 102's and spiked to 103.2 (which i lied to everyone about since they were threatening ER) last night, then began to drop after a tepid bath. I was unable to stay in an upright position for more than five minutes at a time, and the pain in my stomach was unbelievable.

In the end, everyone said that I didnt ruin anything for anyone, and I know as well as you that's what you say to someone when they've inconvienced you.

I did manage to make everyone happy with the gufts i had wrangled for them, as well as being made teary (although I blame the high fever for the emotional/teary parts) over a gift from "Lisa" (a totally geaky thing, the history of NASA's first 50 years with a forward by Neil Armstrong), and dinner was cooked notwithstanding the illness, just... not by me. All in all, the boys had a good day, and thats all that matters in the end, and I hope that you can all say the same for you and yours. For everyone else, plans have been made to gather a group for the coming festive occasion, and instead of risking the possible, I shall say to all "Happy New Year"! :D
