On Wednesday, one of my kids at school was complaining of a sore throat. On Thursday, the kid stayed at home with the official diagnosis of Strep. (Strep!!) And today, can you guess who's throat is killing her??

So I just want to say. For the record. If I get strep.... on MY WEEKEND I'M GOING TO FLORIDA TO CELEBRATE MY BIRTHDAY...then when I get back, I'm going to punch this kid in the face...Hard. End of story. Actually I'm going to punch them in the throat. I think that would more efficiently get my message across.

And for anyone who even cares, my technical smooching session went well last night. A lot less awkward than I expected at times, and a lot more awkward at other times. But as I predicted, Kevin and I are now on hugging terms.
