It was disgusting. They were cranky and I just wanted to hole up in the bathroom with a bottle of booze till it was all over. It lasted for over a week for each kid. That just gave me post traumatic stress just thinking about it. Woman, I feel for you on this. Totally feel for you. <br /><br />And now I have to get back to the minions and play cruise director.Lizbethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449627964374811836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-86450714018185416132012-06-29T09:26:17.574-04:002012-06-29T09:26:17.574-04:00Poor Ella, poor Karen.

Kids' sickness is ALWAYS timed for maximum inconvenience, in my experience. I hope hope hope she feels a little better soon, is there the slightest teeniest weeniest possibility she'll be OK-ish for Sunday? Obviously I want her to feel better. But I REALLY want you and the Man to get your dirty dancing on at the reception. And I REALLY REALLY want pics of your posh frock, Cinderella shoes, and bling. <br />PS. LOVE Ella's art, meant to comment before but didn't, so saying it now!
