I am emotionally and physically drained right now. I am almost so exhausted I don't want to write, but I will write a short update about why I feel like this.

Physically:

Clarissa came down with the stomach flu on Sunday, and today Conny woke up with it. I was woken up a little past 8 to clean up Conny becuase she had thrown up all over the bed and ( Read more... )

The flu is awful in a lot of ways. Though, really, it's very similar to the type of pregnancy I've been going through (only mine has lasted 4 months D=), so you can always just think of it as practice, I suppose. I hope it passes quickly--it sounds like it hasn't lasted much longer than a few days in any one person. And just think! It's your first German Flu! =D Not many people get to experience an almost entirely new flu strain to their body. =D Although, actually, now that I'm reminded of it, this may feel like the "worst flu you've ever had" because of that. And your sickness MAY (but not MUST) last longer than the rest of the family. Make sure you don't push yourself ( ... )

I honestly had to think about the last time I felt that sick/had the flu, it was when I was still in High School, like oh gosh 9 years ago ( ... )

In case you don't listen to the Flaming Lips. They have some beautiful lyrics in their song "Do You Realize?"

**Do you realize . That you have the most beautiful face?.
Do you realize . We're floating in space?.
Do you realize . That happiness makes you cry?.
Do you realize . That everyone you know someday will die?.

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes.
Let them know you realize that life goes fast.
It's hard to make the good things last.
You realize the sun doesn't go down.
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round. **

Cherish everyone you love every moment!

Thanks for the lyrics, I actually teared up (good tears though!). How is life treating you?

If you haven't heard the song, here's the video. I love this song, it's so hopeful and bizarrely true when you look at things a certain way.

Life has had it's share of ups and downs recently, but I think I'm happy. How about you?

I am happy. I'm enjoying my time here, but also ready to get onto bigger and better things! :)
