Quiet time

I am having a "quiet time" right now. The throat virus that moved in to our family 10 days ago has finally reached me. First Leader oF The Pack had throat pain for several days and nothing seemed to linder it. Then ... it just went away. The Dreamer is already getting better - he was the next victim. WonderfulHusband is the worst right now, he had a fever last night. Not much, but still ... AND he has a job interview today. He is trying to get a few computer lessons in another school, because his schedule right now is so that he can squeeze those in. I have no real throat pain, but my voice is gone. Just gone. The second day in a row, I can only whisper. That means that going to work seems pointless - I can listen and nod, yes, but I am expected to say something, too - and I just cannot!

The boys are at home with me. This way, WonderfulHusband does not need to leave home so early and he can go straight to work without going first to the daycare. They are a bit grumpy because they love going to preschool, but now they have time to play with their toys and to work with all their colouring books. I am just sad that I cannot read to them.
