Today was spectacular.  I bought new running shoes without running around after my little ones.  I ate a magnificent lunch with a cherished friend.  Evy and I talked deeply about things like piggy banks, friends, visiting relatives who are invisible and visiting "p-tend," and the general world of Curious George.  Merritt woke up happy from his nap.

And, then I became sick, gut clenching, head throbbing yuck.  Had to cancel icecream with an old high school friend and her kids.  But, my stomach just growled.  Maybe I can end my 14 hour fast from food?  Even with the sick, I really enjoyed today. 

[Evy went to the grocery store with Dad wearing a bug pj shirt, tiger pj shorts, and blue Mardi Gras beads all while clutching a limegreen (decorated with polka dots) coin purse for his "pennies and quarters."  Erik dubbed him "The Little Banker" today.]
