When the Human Head is NOT buoyant

It was Micci's birthday yesterday--his SIXTH birthday. Like an idiot I forgot to bring our camera to his party. Luckily, my friend brought hers--once she downloads them I'll post some here. He had a dinosaur birthday as per his request, we got a awesome roaring dinosaur cake (complete with a volcano and lava pit), with dinosaur gift bags and decorations--complete with dinosaur noses for the guests. Half our guests couldn't make it at the last minute since the mom came down with the flu. Nothing is worse than we Mom gets sick.

I myself can relate, since Saturday I came down with an allergy induced sinus infection (I blame cleaning--I kicked up too much dust). Luckily I was only laid up in bed Saturday and felt better Sunday for Mic's party. Being sick put me seriously behind in my knitting--with my head feeling like it was 50 pounds and dizziness when I sat up: knitting just wasn't in the cards.

In just two days I ran through two boxes of tissues and now I am resorting to rolls of toilet paper. I am constantly amazed just how much snot the human head can produce.

speaking of snot ... you don't want to know the noise my nose made while trying not to LOL while reading the end of that post while eating lunch (soup even) ... the hazards of blog reading. :-)

Looking forward to pics of the party and glad you're feeling better (don't clean so hard/much!)

I'm sorry you're suffering!

But, man, that takes me back...to that time when I tried desperately to teach D to swim, exclaiming, "The human head is buoyant!" as if that would encourage him to release his death grip on the ladder and bravely force his 6'3" self into the center of a five-foot pool. Finally, he did, sputtering like a raspberry-blowing baby and clinging to me in terror.

Those were good times. Did we ever catch that on film?
