So today I'm semi happy-ish, if tired and still mostly sick (getting better though, FINALLY!).

Kevin called to wish us a happy V-day and we chatted for more than 5 minutes (for once).  He even called early enough to talk to Luc witc actually thrilled da boy even though ya couldn't tell at the time.  Much as I miss Kevin, Luc misses him more.

The "story" for him is that we're lucky and get to take a nice long vacation to visit "Aunt Darcy" and her family...  "poor daddy" however has to WORK (*yuck*) and doesn't get to come with us...  at which we laugh at daddy's "bad luck".

He's actually holding up pretty well, all things considered.  Life here is VERY different and a LOT more chaotic than we're used to (so many people, so little space - as opposed to mostly him and me through the day and daddy late at night and in the mornings before work).  Today was one of those days, however, where the kids were going a bit bonkers and everyone was getting on everyone else's last nerve.  I took out my agitation on the food cabinets and cleaned up and cleared out stuff, re-arranged them, etc.  Gods my back is freaking KILLING me!  Steep stairs and LOTS of canned goods do NOT mix well, just in case you're wondering.  However, for ONCE my luck held and I didn't fall either up OR down the stairs (been know to happen on BOTH counts before!) so I guess I'm pretty happy about it, overall. Tomorrow, if my back is feeling more like a back and less like a punching bag I think I'll tackle the laundry build-up...  if not I'll do it the day after.  *grin*

Darcy's grandmother is still in the hospital and tons of tests are being done.  That's pretty much ALL I know about that at the moment.  Darcy is holding up well, and I'm just glad that our "vacation" coincided with this so I can actually feel USEFUL instead of like some totally pathetic charity case.

*hugs* to all and have a happy whatever ya wanna have!  *grin*
