Surge, Smurge

I missed posting yesterday. My doctor/husband brings home bugs from the hospital that see me as their hostess with the mostess. Alas. The first thing I see this morning when I opened my blog was that eleven more soldiers have died since I posted Sunday. I guess the Iraqis (and others) engaged in civil war (that's a misnomer if I've ever heard one) don't know that the escalation of the war is supposed to quell the violence.I don't watch or listen to the news when I'm sick, and still don't know what happened but I guess I'll find out. Slow start, but I plan on getting something out today.
