When mama's not happy...

The phrase should actually be, "When mama's not feeling well...."

I am sad to say, sickness has engulfed us. I've had a fairly steady temperature of 100.5-101.8 for the past 24 hours. Thankfully the boys have both accommodated with naps a good portion of the day. And the slow sizzle of the crock pot is ensuring a nice dinner awaits. Things you might hear around my house today,

Gee, is it me or is it hot in here!?

My head feels swimmy...

BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP. (The alarm on the thermometer saying YOU"RE TOO HOT!... sassy little things :)

Can I watch a movie? YESSS! (L. taking advantage of his delirious parents.)
