Benefits of Running Family Infirmary for Week

1. A lot of together time
2. Not a lot of time spent on wardrobe selection. Most have been in pajamas.
3. Week free of attention to hair or make up details.
4. Bland white menu easy to plan and prepare.
5. Cable TV finally worth weight in gold for new versions of children's favorite shows.
6. Gas saved from cancelled trip to Ohio.
(At least our reservations at K's parents were used by K's brother and family)
7. No time to argue with spouse as we pass one another like ships in the night attending to the infirm.
8. Almost miss defiance and normal daily bad mood swings of healthy child.
9. House is in pretty good shape for spring cleaning because you are wiping things down with lysol every 15 minutes.
10. Renewed appreciation for good health.

Desperately looking for a silver lining. :)
