The Sickness

Our house is full of sickness at the moment. All the kids bar Peta have the horrible cough/snotty nose/cold that has been going around and I have had it over the weekend and am still not over it. Usually I have a great stash of my natural remedies around the house but I have got to the bottom of the barrel on just about everything and I am broke to boot!! So, have had to make do with a couple of cell salts and Phoebe's natural croup tincture.

White tail spiders have invaded my house and I have had two big mothers in the last two days!! I am afraid of spiders at the best of times but white tails just make me want to shake and cry. Not good for the anxiety disorder as I find myself constantly checking the ceilings and walls and floor for the wankers!!

Thanks for the nice comments on the poem, I thought I had better mention that I didn't write it - it was the words on a card that a beautiful lass on the other side of the planet sent me when she found out I was in the pits of despair.
