A Mean Bug



A mean bug has been going around and we think it bit you first, Bodhi. You have been sick for a couple of days now, complaining of a “tummy ache” and running an occasional fever. Both Daddy and Mommy have felt as though it might be coming on for each of them, but then it seems to subside. Buddha, you look like you have been bitten by bugs, on the side of your torso, but you haven’t succumbed to “tummy ache” or fever—let’s hope that Viking resilience in you holds up and you don’t come down with THE bug!

Speaking of mean bugs, Daddy has been a mean bug, himself, recently. Coming off a serious abscess in his lower right tooth and jaw and continuing back pain, Daddy has been a grouch and it has shown. Thank goodness, Daddy is scheduled for back surgery on August 14th, so maybe we can all look forward to some reliefJ.

Daddy was off to work early today, both for a class and then for some program chair training (Daddy is also tense about his work, and the substantial increased responsibilities coming up for him this fall---Daddy will not only be the program chair for criminal justice, but also will be an interim program chair for paralegal, and also is responsible for getting off the ground a new faculty professional development program---yikesL), but made it home be shortly after noon. Daddy made lunch for everyone of peas and fish sticks and cottage cheese, then it was nap time for babies and Daddy.

Mommy had to work this afternoon, but the two of you enjoyed a special treat after nap time, you both got to go to GiGi and GiPa’s for dinner and visits until about 8:00 p.m. Daddy and Mommy (and Allie) went over to pick you up and all was reported as going well, even though you had been rather fussy, Bodhi, because you are still not feeling well. Indeed, both of you seemed worn out from you visit and sure enough, it wasn’t long after we got home that both of you were ready to settle down for bedtime.

We are all hoping that the mean bug leaves us alone, and especially that our two baby angels are feeling better going into the weekend. There is no concern greater than that of a loving parent over an ill or injured child. Mommy and Daddy are doing all they know to do to get the two of you healthy and happy, so sleep peacefully our little beautiful Gypsy Princess and our valiant Viking Prince. We all love you, “to the moon” and beyond words and horizons, so “night, night!”
