This post brought to you by the flu

I have a lot to say, about fall, my kids, my work - but have really been under the weather for the past week with some form of virus.  I haven't been sick like this in quite some time.  I don't have a fever, thank goodness.

It has put a damper on almost all of my activities. I wasn't able to put my kids to bed two days in a row this week, and that is exceedingly rare.

I am still out here reading, drinking lots of fluids and taking care of myself.
