It's a curse, I tell you, a curse!

Yeah, I know. What else did I think would happen? And, as you are doubtless thinking to yourself, it's all my own fault. I brought this down on my own head. I have no-one to blame but myself.

The germs must have started multiplying as soon as I signed the contract.

Two days of exercising at the new gym near me. Brand new machines. Kids' area. Less than five minutes, door to door, from home.

Naturally everyone has gotten sick. Because I am a mother. Because this was expensive. Because, well, just because. Because the universe is out to get me. Do we really need a reason here?!

But I will not be defeated. As soon as the fevers go down, the noses stop running, and there are no more tearful complaints that "tummy hurts, Mommy!" I will go back. And start over.

I am more stubborn than the universe. So there.
