Sick Day

Today I am the only "well" one in the house.  I think it's almost harder than being the sick one.  It's hard to watch your family suffer...feels so helpless.  Elaina came home from school with a fever, but still managed to tickle me.  Humberto was laying in bed after suffering all day with this yucky cold and Elaina came in and handed him a purple straw that she had carried in her pocket all day, just for him (heaven only knows where it came from - probably why she gets sick to begin with).  I was thinking how sweet she is when she said "Oh wait Mommy, I have something for you too".  I waited patiently while she took off her shoe and dug down in her sock to find my "gift". I little plastic, green bead shaped like a heart.  I love that girl!
