Not the Swine Flu?... Are You Sure?

If it's not the swine flu...then it must be the Jones Family Plague!
In the past 2 weeks the Jones family has:
*been to the dr.'s 5 times
*recieved 9 different prescriptions
*spent a night in the ER and then had a stay in the hospital for a few days
*had multiple Jones' with temperatures 103+
*lost 7 pounds in 5 days (Me, that is, but I don't know where.)
*slept many days and nights here:
*watched more movies and tv than any human should
*missed lots of work
*gone through atleast 11 boxes of kleenex
...and GOnE CrAZy!!!
I think we are finally on the upswing.
The kids were both actually dressed today and Kirra got her first set of pigtails!


We've been well taken care of by family and friends!
1. We've had multiple dinners brought over by mom and my wonderful friend, Kim!
2. Mom bought us desperately needed groceries.
3. Mom and Dad watched Kirra for a few days while I was in the hospital with Tavin and Brett was in Texas (where we're moving in 3 weeks).
4. Dad got Tavin a fun Air Hogs toy.
5. A surprise of my favorite breadsticks and alfredo sauce from Olive Garden were dropped off by my amazing friend, Brooke.
6. Brooke's super sweet daughter, Taylor babysat for free one day so I could go to the dr.
7. Grandma Simpson couldn't have timed her package more perfectly. It was a huge hit!
8. My good friend, Kristy came and rescued Tavin from this sick house for a little Halloween fun.
9. Tavin's little buddies, Hannah and Hyrum, brought over the best Halloween treats!

So glad you are taken care of. Man, that flu is so horrible. Somehow we have missed it at our house---knock on wood.

Did I read in there that you are moving to Texas in three weeks!!!!!!!!!!

DETAILS PLEASE. I'm calling you soon.

So glad that you are all starting to feel better! I hope little Tavin is okay!

And TEXAS?!?! Where? Why? If you decide to pass through OK our door is always open!

Love how you're so nonchalant about moving to Texas. I thought maybe you gave up that idea when you moved out of your parents place and got your own place in Corona. I thought you were settling in and making So. Cal. a permanent place of residence.

Good luck with the move and CONGRATS!

Having good friends when you're all sick makes it much more bearable.

SHUT UP. TEXAS???? I'm not going to allow this. SERIOUSLY????????? That just ruined my day! :( But, I guess where a job is available is where you go. Well, I'll miss you guys and I'm sad you won't live in Cali when i move back in December!
