HOLD, PLEASE

I am still here...sort of! I have pneumonia that is kicking my butt right now. I come home from teaching ready to crawl into bed, but not before grading papers and doing homework with my own kids! Dinner? Homemade? What's that?!! Thank goodness for husbands that pitch in when you're having a "near death" experience! My tubby full of hot, bubbly water is calling me, so I'm going to go answer...I'll be back soon!


Always the teacher, I thought I'd include photos for a science lesson. Here's your lung on pneumonia...
P.S. Never research a disease or sickness online...you'll come away knowing way too much and "qualifying" for many more, much worse sicknesses than the one you have!



Oh, and for those of you on a diet, this should help:

A close-up of the little buggers for you! Bon appetit!

Whoa! What are you doing teaching when you should be in bed?! I sure hope you're on the mend. I didn't realize how lucky I was to only be sick for 2 weeks with a regular cold. We will say a prayer for your quick recovery.

And thanks for the little assist with my diet there! :)

Sorry to hear your so sick. I don't think that it's right for Mom's to get sick. Get well soon!

Saying hello from SiTS, and I"m very envious of your glorious weekend. It's raining and humid here.
