I had a feeling this might happen....

...that is, that after all the rushing around and craziness that I would fall in a heap and get sick. So I was a bit relieved earlier in the week when this seemed to be manifesting as little more than a regular head cold. However now it is mutating into the sinus pain from Hades, which seems untouchable by all the standard means of dealing with decongestion (given that one cannot stand in the shower with the water running all night). So, yay for that.

Ashwyn started school yesterday. He was very excited, and seemed to have a good day. I'm not sure if his teacher would have agreed with him, but we had no phone calls from the school or anything. He is a very different child from Liam and is not likely to have the same difficulties, but rather a whole brand new set of his own. But he has always loved novelty and new things, so I think so long as it's all new and exciting we're probably safe.
