Anyway, it's been a stressful few weeks at my house as we all passed around some variation of strep throat. First my four-year-old got it, but we caught it early, got him on an antibiotic, and heaved a sigh of relief that no one else caught it. Ha ha. A week later, I came down with it and got it worse than I ever remembered getting strep throat before. I was sleeping under four blankets in July because of the crazy chills I got. My tonsils are the worst (Seriously, the doctor looked at them and said, no joking, "Eww. These look awful." It's pretty bad when a doctor says, "Eww."). To top it off, I still had to nurse the baby when I could barely move AND my husband had to go out of town for a few days. Thank goodness for my mom -- I don't know what I would have done without her. And just when I thought I was out of the woods, my husband and baby got sick on the same day last week. Sigh. The second half of July was absolutely no fun at my house. That's what I get for tempting fate -- I made the mistake of pointing out how many months it'd been since anyone in our house was sick.
So, yeah, I'm still here. I'm glad you've checked back even though I haven't had anything new on here for a while. More posts to come, I promise.

Hooray! I'm glad the blog is back in business and you're feeling better ^_^
Ugh I am so sorry. I truly live in fear of strep. I got it when Toby was about 3 months old, and then again when he was a year old. I can't remember being in that much pain during labor. Strep is the most painful thing I have ever gone through except for an ear infection when I was pregnant.
And they took my tonsils out when I was 6 because I got strep about 4 times a year up till then. Shudder.
I'm glad you're feeling better. We still need to get together someday you know. :)
