I Must Be in The Bermuda Triangle

Things started to go wrong this past Tuesday, when my 5 year old sprouted a fever of 103.

On Wednesday, we went to the pediatrician because the fever persisted and was accompanied by a massive headache, which kids his age rarely get.  Negative Swine Flu test.

On Thursday, the clothes washer started to act up.  It sounded like a raccoon was trapped in there.  Later in the day, the 5 year old's temp was up to 106 and he looked terrible.

On Friday, we were back in the doctor's office.  Again, negative Swine Flu test.  Strep test was also negative.  "Just a rogue virus," the pediatrician said.  Later in the day, one of our MacBooks stopped letting us log on.

On Saturday, my minivan's battery died and my cell phone stopped working properly.  While trick or treating that evening, the toddler developed a wet cough.

On Sunday, the 5 year old's fever was still there and my husband stayed in bed all day fighting a cold.  The toddler's nose was running like a garden hose.

Pardon me, but %$@*&!!!!!$%%^&&%#  and @!!!@@#@!**&$^$%$ !!!!  (Big exhale)  I feel better now.

Here's hoping this week is better.  We already replaced the car battery and my 5 year old's fever is gone, so we may be pulling out of this.  Please send good thoughts...
