As much as I love the preparation, anticipation, and each holiday in and of itself, there is something somewhat cathartic to the take down. *oink* I don't know whether it's the taking back of my house from festive paper crafts and the mass of the kids beloved window clings, or the excitement of preparing for the next festive season. *oink*

I'd give you a blow by blow of this, but that will have to wait, as some of you may be recipients of these. *oink*

yup :( What I had before was much different and lasted about 24 hours ( I could also function at work with it) this is much different and I'm on day 3 now with a fever etc. Everyone at work has been sick with different stuff, and I was around a ton of kids last week. Hope you guys feel better too!
