(hah...Thanks for acknowledging "Mr. Why?" (haha, there's so much good humor here that it's worth just skipping over the stuff about Mascara, etc.) The ONE BATHROOM? Yes, you must move. Not just because of the stomach virus. Your kids will become teenagers. Suddenly, without warning, children who used to have to be forced into the bathtub even when they were covered with mud will begin showering, on their own, without being asked, every day, sometimes more than once a day, with their own shampoo, and conditioners, and lotions and goops and... you just need more than one bathroom! ALSO... (and I speak from experience)... as your children become teens, your husband becomes... ummm... how shall I say this?... "middle aged." Men don't go through menopause, but they do have... ummm... a need to use the bathroom more, so.... The only question is, "What will happen to the name of this blog?" I'm sure your sense of humor will come up with something. Indeed, it's a wonder to see how much has happened since you started this blog, how much y'all have grown (not just numerically), how much you've been enriched by so many experiences that you never could have anticipated. Thanks for sharing so much with us.

My family of six was "living" in a hotel room last year (middle of a military move) when the stomach flu hit. I still get twitchy when I think about it. The healthiest kid was standing at the door, refereeing who got use of the toilet. Filed under "moments I will never forget": "Hey, can you move? Lilly says she's going to throw up and it needs to be in the toilet this time."

Seriously, I live like a queen. WIth 5 boys however, there is still banging on the door. Constant Input and output - I am telling you. They eat a lot and everything else too. So move while your boys are young because you are going to need that extra toilet pronto!! Good luck! If it is any consolation we are selling our acreage (sale pending) and don't have a house found yet. A little stressful No? Um ... yes. This is the first year ( in 3 1/2 yrs) that one of our boys has been off of chemo (yea for remission) Thought I was gonna have a peaceful school year. **ha ha** not in this life time!!
