open mouth, insert foot

"You shouldn't say that;

it sounds like you're tempting God," Tyler told me last week

when I told him I could not get sick right now.

That it would put me over the edge.

I spent about a third of the summer sick

- which is totally unlike me -

and that

coupled with some other stressful issues

and

being home - alone - (while sick...) with the little ones

while Tyler, Tony and Brandon

put in a collective 500+hours on Luke & Lana's house

'bout did me in.

I'm still in recovery mode;

one step forward

and three steps back

lots of days.

So

it makes perfect sense

that I do not want to get sick.

So far this week

I've got 3 sick kiddos.

As my friend Susie would say, they're droppin' like flies.

To say I'm hoping I'm not next

would be an understatement.

I really didn't mean to test God!
