The Rotavirus

It hasn't been a typical week for us and that's why you haven't noticed a recent update from me. Ethan picked up the Rotavirus and it presented itself on Monday. Since Monday, I haven't been able to separate myself from Ethan. He's not been feeling well and his sleep schedule is erratic. I have a pile of dishes a mile high in my sink and my laundry machine has been working non-stop since the plague entered our home. Laugh. I'm finally taking Ethan into the doctor's office today (four days of this stuff is enough for me and Ethan). Not sure if he'll be able to offer much, but at least we'll be on the same page. Ethan's also got a cold, which doesn't help matters much. I want so much for him to get better and get back to his old self. I miss watching him enjoy life. His daily activity since being sick has been lots of "Elmo's World", sleep, occasional food, and bath time. The rest is hanging with mom.

To pass the time, I came across a few new places online that I wanted to share with you guys. I've been thinking a lot lately about 2008 "Fall" colors and wondering what to expect come next CHA for Fall product lines. I would love to know what colors you'd like to see this fall on your pattern paper favorites. Share your thoughts on this topic in the comments section. Thanks!
