Ramblings

Since I'm feeling a bit under the weather, chicken soup/stew is just what the 'health practicioner' prescribes. On Sunday, I made a terrific chicken stew in the crockpot and added green chilies for a nice kick. Mike enjoyed two bowls yesterday but it didn't seem to be able to ward off a winter cold...which Mike has come down with. Luckily it seems to just be a bad cold. (And as a side note, our thoughts and prayers with the family of the Kodiak man who recently passed from the H1N1 flu. Very scary.)
So far, Cece and Sophie are both okay with the exception of some baby acne for Sophie. Trying to quarantine Mike in the far bedroom for awhile in the hopes we can keep those germs away from the girls. Mike will have to read by himself, watch whatever he wants on TV, nap, and eat in bed for awhile. Poor guy. But he's in good hands as Cece is proving to be a regular Florence Nightingale...offering to fix him bowls of grapes, sandwiches and drinks as often as allowed.

Love to all our friends and families, -R (PS- I've spared everyone my ramblings regarding the prevalence of germ warfare by foreign powers {to weaken the US people and military forces} as well as by our own 'government' {population control measures}. Paranoid I'm not, just realistic.)
