blame it on the rain and getting over sickness

i have been sick for over a week and even though i am feeling a little bit better, i still have a horrible cough that is waking me and keeping me up at night. my voice sounds a little better too, though not quite back to normal. i have been very glad that audrey has not become sick but dave is not feeling well today and i think i may have given this bug to him. yuck. anyone that knows me knows i have the immune system of an infant (well, maybe weaker than that since audrey hasn't gotten sick yet) and i fear that i will get better just in time to pick it up again from dave (audible sigh). it is tough to be sick when you are the mom. audrey and i have spent most of our week at home in comfy loungewear. let's hope that dave can recover quickly!

today we took the princess to get her pictures taken. i can't wait to get them back, i will post some of them on my blog for sure. as i was getting ready so we could take audrey, i was listening to my ipod and what comes on? blame it on the rain by milli vanilli, haha...i haven't heard this song in years and didn't even realize it was on my ipod. oh, it took me back. whenever i hear this song i think of my friend megan tall. one saturday when we were in sixth grade i had the dreaded chore of cleaning the bathroom. at my house you didn't go and play with your friends until your chores were done, no exceptions. my friend megan wanted to hang out and so she came over and we put on old t-shirts and boxers and got into the shower to scrub it down with scrub brushes as we listened to milli vanilli. ever since, the song "blame it on the rain" reminds me of cleaning the shower with megan that day. this morning i couldn't stop thinking about how nice that was of her. how many friends want to be with you so much that they will clean your family bathroom? not many. in case i didn't say it then, thanks meg.
