internet is back, blogging break continues (somewhat)

Internet is back. I am not back, well not really, except when I am. (Insert a Tim Allen style HUH? here). I may come and escape to the computer a few times today between loads of laundry. I have several loads that have been waiting for me to quit pretending that I am on "vacation" from housework simply because the kids don't have to go to school and because I still have a crummy sinus pressure filled cold. However, the regular laundry will have to wait because I have 2, count 'em TWO sons who spent the better part of last night erupting all over everything in their pitiful attempts of turning their insides out and purging their bodies of whatever vile virus has attacked their tummies. Three loads down ..... at least three to go judging from the size of the pile of sheets, blankets and towels by the washing machine. Oh, and a thorough scrubbing and disinfecting of the brand new toy (the Pirates of the Caribbean Black Pearl play ship) that was unfortunate enough to be in the line of fire from the top bunk ..... "Maelstrom!"
Better go get another load started before I walk over to the store and stock up on some more ginger ale and Sprite, plus supplies for the BRAT diet once those tummies settle down and they are ready to start eating.
