Dear Internets,
Please excuse Tanis the Redneck Mommy from her absence on the ole intertubes. She has recently been struck down with some sort of virus that is slowly causing her brains to seep out her nostrils. She’s hoping to staunch the loss of brain power by stuffing kleenex and crumpled toilet paper up her nose but so far her efforts are proving fruitless.
While her presence may not be felt on computer screens through out the world, her mucous particles are traveling far and wide with each sneeze which escapes her sickly body.
Despite the toxic nature of the plague she has contracted, she is surviving. Barely. Her children occasionally prod her into consciousness to ensure she is still alive and to force her to feed them. They are thoughtful like that. She is amusing herself by occasionally pulling her head off her pillow to hack into her children’s facebook account and leave embarrassing status updates on their profile page. Her children are threatening to hide her laptop from her if she persists in telling the world how cute their tushies are and how their mother’s love makes them feel as though they are shooting rainbow beams out their bums.
Posting will resume once the snot subsides and she can once again hold her head upright without it threatening to fall off and roll down her pathetically long driveway.
She thanks you all for your continued support and asks that you give thanks for the two ply tissue with lotion now widely available in the supermarkets.
Signed,
The Management.

Come back soon! Don’t stop torturing the kiddos on Facebook. I can’t wait until my sons are old enough for things like that! Muahahaha!
Crystal@JustCallMeMommy
Keep your mucus far away, I don’t want it but hope you get better soon!

I feel your pain. I am week 4 of this plague which changes course every time I begin to feel better and comes up with a new and vexing means of torture.

Hope you’re feeling better very soon Tanis.

I’m hoping that the contagion factor is low via blog contact, as I have a lot of your old posts to catch up on, having been away myself for a long while. However, if I should fall prey to this…plague…I appreciate all the advice about stuffing things up ones nose. I’ll make a mental note of that and hope that if I do contract “the plague,” it won’t be the first thing to dribble out of my brain.

Mmmm…snot.
Heather
I hope you feel better soon and that magical creatures come and take care of you and your children!

Get you some Sudafed. The good kind, the kind we Americans have to provide a drivers license to purchase because it contains ephedrine which people use to make meth. That should solve the snot problem fairly quickly.
Judy
Feel better soon!!
Titanium
Arghhhhhhh. I sure hope you feel better soon. I bought three boxes of very soft Kleenex this morning and that was BEFORE I read your post. Must have been channeling or something…

As a person who never gets ill at all [nope, not even colds] I am mustering all my sympathetic genes in order to wish you well. It’s tricky, and the best sympathetic thing I can come up with is…”I hope you don’t snot on your PJs.”
Bush Babe
Hope come even half-dead, you’re still funny. No fair.
Feel better soon!
