So who is this Murphy anyway?

And why does he punish us with his laws? Like 'especially long nights follow especially long days.' Or 'kids get sick only after office hours.' Or 'bad things happen in 3.' Or 'it sucks when your previously potty-trained child reverts back for no apparent reason.' Okay, so I made that one up, but it might as well be one.
These may seem like insignificant little laws, but I'll tell you what - when YOU have a kid running a 102 degree temp, shaking and talking deliriously at 2 am, followed by cries from you husband not 30 mins later that he is passing a kidney stone, is going to 'tough it out' but needs you nursing him through it, and then just when you think the night's adventures are over your oldest kid goes and wets the bed.... Well, that may be the night you just want to punch Murphy in the mouth, too.
Get in line.

I hope everyone is okay. How is Mark? I know a couple of people that have passed kidney stones, and I hear it's extremely painful. Yikes!

Holy cow! I think Murphy should volunteer to have several punches in the face from you ;o)

I'm so sorry about the craziness! You wish they could give you shots of SLEEP, eh? OK, maybe PILLS of sleep would be better! You just take it with water, and then it's like you slept 8 ...or 9 ...or 10 hours. Wouldn't THAT be nice? Then you'd have the energy to face all of that. Wow. You're a trooper!
