Where did Brian go?

I fell off the face of the earth for the last two weeks. You should try it sometime! :whatever:

Well, life has been insanely hectic. My sister and her three kids moved into my house, so now there are eight people living here, and my house isn't that big, so it's .... well, you get the idea.

Let's just say there's never a dull moment.

Okay, so three adults and five kids living in one house, and all of the sudden, a bad stomach flu sweeps through the house like a plague, knocking us down one by one in a matter of minutes. You could almost literally see it scythe through us - first the kids, each of them vomiting and then a few hours later the adults get it. The next morning, the kids are happy as can be, as they have all recovered in one day's time... The adults, not so much....

The entire day of the 24th, Tracey and I were so sick we could barely get out of bed. I missed the family christmas at my Aunt's house for the first time in my life, but luckily my parents took my kids for the whole day so we got to sleep the entire day. The 25th was slightly better, as we were not having diahrrea and puking anymore.... Ah... the human body is such a precious jewel :rolleyes:

Now, on top of all this, I have had a very bad cold both before AND after the stomach flu, so I am still coughing so hard that I basically spit up some lung juice every half an hour or so.

On that pleasant note, I am happy to see that things are smooth and "business as usual" around here.. Hopefully, when all the sickness and holiday chaos calms down, I'll have time to sit down and get back into the site. I miss you guys :)
