The kids tag-teamed being sick over holiday break and, at last count, it was my youngest daughter's turn...shhhh, but don't tell her, okay?
Oh, not to worry, we experienced bright and shiny non-crud-filled moments, together, too.
Like, during our annual New Year's Eve movie marathon, we watched Fiddler on the Roof and one of our (okay, my) ALL time favorite musicals, ever, The Sound of Music.
That's a combined total of 355 minutes (or, 5.916666667 hours) of unadulterated, pure as alpine mountain air, nerdy nirvana and, well, yes, we are THAT family of geeky Broadway buffs blurting out lines from old show tunes at the dining room table.
Wanna come for dinner? No problem. Dress casual. Bring a face mask.
Aaaaand, for your musical pleasure, here's a little something, just for you, with slightly adjusted verbage, to compliment the suckage:
Yes, we're barely alive with the help of Mucinex
With muck we have flung for like a thousand years
The crud fills their lungs with the sound of mucus
My heart feels like it's gonna drown with every cough it hears
It makes me want to beat the creeping crud out of them
just from total lack of sleep
I just want them to breath (dammit!)
makes parent teacher conferences seem like a breeze
To cough so hard it makes them trip and fall
god I hate that their feeling this way
To cough through the night
and sleepwalk through the rest of the day
I go to the pills when my heart feels all achy
I know I will hear what I've heard before
Their lungs will be blessed with the sound of Mucinex
And I'll sleep once more
Dinner's at 6-ish, you're welcome!!!
[This is an unpaid, unsponsored and undoubtedly the dorkiest post I've written in, well, what day is it? Aaaaaanyway, just be glad I didn't post the video I made of myself, you know, singing it, stupid sleep deprivation.]

The folks at Mucinex need to know about this. And you need to have more kids, for the commercial, you know.

You are HILARIOUS. Seriously, I laughed for like 10 minutes at this. Thank you :) I needed that! And I hope that your entire family feels better soon! Sheesh!

Wait, what? There are others as nerdy about Broadway show films as me? Be still my beating heart.

NG: Yes, you can party with us, anytime, but remember your face mask, my friend!!!

You so funny mama!
I recently introduced the girls to the Sound of Music and forgot how much I love it and how much I LURV to sing along! :)
Here's to a less mucus-y weekend!
