...and the Christmas aftermath

Involves upchucking, apparently. We arrived at the in-laws safe and sound, after 21 hours of driving, and the new Prius performed like a champ. And we only spent $85 on gas to travel 1300 miles. So that was pretty awesome.

The kids had a great Christmas; there was the standard orgy of capitalism. The best part, of course, is the time spent with loved ones, and we may have succeeded in convincing everyone to come visit us in MA this year.

The downside to it all is that a 24-hour stomach bug was working its way through the kids, and last night my husband came down with it. Violently. All over the carpet. Merry Christmas to me. He hasn't moved all day, he's been sleeping it off (I hope). Running a slight fever but at least there haven't been any more...episodes. It remains to be seen whether he'll be well enough to travel to VA tomorrow. Or if my sister, with her new baby, will allow us to, due to possible contagion and all. So travel plans are up in the air right now.

At least we won't have to worry about traveling in the big blizzard that's socking New York and Boston right now. We'll miss the first big storm of the season. I hope our kitties are okay...do you think blind cats know when it's snowing outside?
