So Bummed
(a haiku)


New York was the plan
when will I learn not to plan
goddamn coxsackie

oh...you were supposed to go away this weekend??

How disappointing!!

I hate it when that happens. Doesn't it stink that we have to be the grown-up now and call off these fun things?

Hang in there! My Pool Dr is coming on Wed! Picture yourself and the boys here soon. And some frozen yummy drinks, with imaginary umbrellas.

How many days until summer vacation?

I think this is one of your best poems yet!

Had to google coxsackie to find out what it meant. Hand, foot & mouth disease is what it's known as here. Don't know that either term is preferable!

I ran a home based child care service when my two had it, so had to organise for all my charges to be placed elsewhere. Had a fantastic week at home with just my own, despite the loss of income.

Very sad you've had it lumped on you for a holiday weekend :((

Aw Sweetie...I was so hoping they'd be better by the weekend.

Are they at least feeling well enough that you'll be able to get out a bit? (I don't know enough about coxsackie...when does it stop being contagious?)

We're mellow this weekend too. Since we just got back from Miami, I couldn't really justify going somewhere else.
