These are the new rules I've discovered over the past couple of days:
1. Do not come down with strep throat on Christmas Eve.
2. Do not spend Christmas Day with a fever of 101, throwing up and achy. Not to mention the sore throat.
3. Do send husband to the hospital on Christmas Day for antibiotics.
4. Do decide the next day that dammit, you're going to go on vacation anyway, now that the antibiotics have whooped the fever.
5. Do not have 10 minutes to get across the entire breadth of the Salt Lake airport, carrying Child and car seat, especially after recovering from 1 and 2 above.
6. If you do #5, try to make sure the luggage makes it on the flight with you.
7. Do not let Child turn up with a mysterious rash on the second flight, that you can see spreading from arm to wrist to face as you watch.
8. Try to ensure that delayed luggage arrives before 11 PM so you can go to sleep.
9. And finally...make sure you have a wonderful vacation in spite of everything, particularly now that the antibiotics have fully kicked in, the luggage is here, and the rash is gone. Whew. Oh, and the rain seems to have stopped too.
Cheers from San Diego, rashless, recovering, and HERE.
