I'm freezing... I'm sweating bullets...

John jumped out of bed in the early am hours and declared "I have to turn off the AC - it's freezing in here" and I quickly replied... "are you kidding me? I'm sweating bullets". That was the first sign something was wrong. Ok - maybe not the first. The first sign was on the way home from Agra I felt "off" and had a head ache but I attributed it to the long winding drive after a HOT afternoon at the Taj carrying a 50lb sleeping Owen.

We had woken up at 3 this morning because John was shivering with a fever and I had just clearly broken a fever. Finally, we have succumbed to some kind of "Delhi Belly" thing. Fever's, achiness and overall yuckiness. So, our Easter does not feel like Easter. No baskets, no church, no egg hunts and Owen is still in his pj's at 3 in the afternoon. John has recovered mostly but I still feel fluish. Thankfully the boys seem fine and happy to have a lazy day at home after the busy and fun days in Agra.

I miss home today for the first time more than ever. I want my bunny! At the same time, it sure is nice to have someone clean up the house, make the beds and cook for the family on a day I just want to lay on the couch and read. I'm at the tail end of the Namesake - definitely a good read (thanks Dale).

Happy Easter!

Sorry the bunnies didn't arrive on time. Hopefully they will arrive soon and then you can celebrate Easter and enjoy the bunnies. Don, Kim, and kids along with Buff, Janeen and kids, and Joe and Erica (Aidan was sick so Kelley couldn't make it) Pat and Maggie were here (Erin wasn't feeling too good). Karen, Jim and Jimbo came over and Jim and Jimbo and I went to the nursing home to pick up Aunt Hope, and Sandy and Don (Janeen's mom and dad) were also here, so we had a full house. Cindy and Pat took the weekend off and went up north. The kids were so funny looking for their baskets. I hid Julian's in my car, so he was very frustrated looking for his. All in all, inspite of the cold weather, it was a great day. Love you Mom Keep those blogs coming.

I had a little extra time at work (never happens) and needed to escape to a foriegn country...... This is the next best thing. It sounds like all is going well and that the Kelley kids are really enjoying it. Keep on blogging and enjoy every moment! All of our best. Don and Jennifer Fulford
