Where have I been?

I feel like I went to hell and back. Stash had the stomach virus last week then Bit came down with the same thing on Wednesday. Thursday he seemed better and then Friday it came for Hubs and I. This thing was terrible. 12 hours of pure hell. We have only one bathroom and this just furthers my conviction that when we have the extra money an extra bathroom (with a great big bath tub) must be added.

We went to see the Clinton parade tonight. I feel almost as the throwing/gathering/fighting of and for candy took away from the actual parade. I remember sitting in chairs bundled up with a cup of hot chocolate watching the parade just waiting to see the next float. That was so different than this year. While many exhibits grabbed the boy's attention (the 10 fire trucks mainly) there was only a couple floats and the rest were people riding in their often unwashed pick up trucks. Middle school homecoming queen (with candy) followed by fairest of the fair (with candy) followed by cheerleaders (without candy >:[ )then a dance team (with candy) and a pickup truck (with....you guessed it MORE candy! WOOOOOOOOO.) So now we have a bag full of candy and lots of, "No more candy tonight!". Next year maybe the kids on the block can put together a little Christmas parade of their own, my neighbor has a pickup truck.
