Pencil Thin

For the last week my children have both had colds. My husband just spent a week in the hospital following a car accident. The dog hasn’t been to the groomers in two months. The entire family seriously needs a day at the spa and bad breath treatment or something. I think we could brush our teeth, shower, and get groomed and there would still just be a funky smelling “air” about us. You know that smell that people have when they are just not feeling really well? It might be in my head at this point after spending so much time at the hospital and at home caring for sick people. I wish winter were almost over so I could throw open the windows and doors and let fresh air into the house. Maybe next week things will seem better and our world not seem so full of sick people. I guess I should feel fortunate I have stayed healthy and been able to keep up with everyone and take care of them during all of this.
