Hola amigos.

What's up with you?

Not much at the House of Deuce. We are preparing for our vacation to UNNAMED CARIBBEAN ISLAND LOCATION and we're all getting excited. Boo and Maddie are really looking forward to going to a foreign territory and throwing up there. I can't blame them....they've thrown up on everything we have here, and they must be bored out of their throw-up litle minds. I'm excited for them too. I can't wait to see them throw up somewhere besides on me, the floor, Kelli, Grandma, or the couch. To think we opted out of leaving the living room floor all concrete and installing floor drains....dumb move on my part. I really think we could've dressed up a hose bibb in the living room.

We've all been sick this past week, and it's been tough. Kelli brought back some cooties from her trip to Sin City (insert awkward sex joke here) and decided to share them with the rest of Team Karr Max. So what that means is that little baby noses are full of snot and other nasty stuff to mix in with the disgusting drool/formula/other weird baby food shiny glossy beard that the girls sport all day, and is slowly sponged up by their cute little bibs they wear all day. Paints a picture doesn't it?

Oh well...poor little devils don't feel good, can't sleep because they can't breathe, and no one else can sleep because they can't, and we're all sick. I'm telling you, Mother Nature is a b*tch.

Once I felt it coming on....you know, the burning eyes, the aches....I started eating those zinc lozenges which, I must say, WORK, and you can tell they work because they taste like dogpoo. Well, I've never tasted it to know, but I can imagine they taste pretty similar.

Why can't they invent medicine that tastes good, or even has no taste at all? I mean, that's three options right there....tastes good, tastes like crap, or has no taste, and the medicine people consistently choose "tastes like crap" every time. I don't understand that. Do they do it so we won't walk around chowing down on medicine? I mean, they should actually WANT that to happen so they'd make more money. Wouldn't it be cool that if you got sick, you had to eat M&M's all day? "Oh crud, I'm sick, I better go to Sam's and buy the giant M&M's bag and get to it". That would be awesome. That's why it will never happen. They should make medicine that tastes like M&M's. Stupid medicine people.

SO, I think we're all starting to feel better today though. K-Dog went to the doctor today to get her meds, and because I ate the horrible zinc, my cold didn't last too long (plus I'm strong as a bull) and the girls are on some sort of medicine so I think we're all good. As long as the girls' Eustachian tubes are clear by flight time, I think we'll be fine (look it up).

So, better close for now...I know I promise to write more but I never do so...Maybe I'll stop promising and start delivering.

I hope you enjoy the picture below. (Yep, and we only THOUGHT we lost the label maker when we moved....IT'S BACK!).

Adios...
