I said I was willing

Evan's over his little cold now. It never even really developed into anything too snotty, so I'm glad it is done. Both Mike and I had sore throats yesterday and I was afraid we were next, but we both felt okay this morning so I'm thinking that was the extent of it. A hint of a cold, how lovely! Enough to terrify, but not enough to sicken! Maybe the vitamin C worked after all.

Ev continues to do super well in school. He goes and does his job box now without being told, he participates in class, and he's outgoing and playing with the other kids. I'm so proud of him--he's really doing a fantastic job. He has changed so much since he started school in February, and it's been fun for me to watch. I hope that he keeps it up.

That's about the extent of the news around here. I've been cleaning like a fiend this week to rid our house of germs and dust, and I feel very accomplished. If only it could stay this way, and I could sit on the couch eating bonbons and watching "Days Of Our Lives". Mikaele and I have been talking about doing that, but maybe we'd be enjoying a martini instead of the bonbons. We want to be the perfect 50's housewives with our aprons and pearls and the knocking back of afternoon cocktails. Then we'd be too drunk to see how dirty the house was anyway. Who needs Mr. Clean when you've got Tom Collins?
