The Plague of 2011

Was Harold Camping right?  Was May 21, 2011 the beginning of the end? 



If you would have asked me yesterday I would have said he was right.  This is how it all went down.

Last week, Thursday I believe, Mason got sick.  He came down with some flu bug, it was the first time he was sick like that.  And being the gentleman that he is, he does not throw up or any of those other terms, no Mason "spits".  His sickness at the time was accredited to allergies and drainage.  It lasted for less than a day and he was back.  Saturday (May 21, 2011), out of no where Madison got sick, I will not get into the details but she too "spit".  And again it lasted less than a day.  There may have not been any earthquakes that broke California off into the ocean, but the sickness of my two children was a sign.... the sickness will spread.  The sickness or plague hit mommy and daddy! 

Now this was the first time that both Beth and I have been sick at the same time... and we got hit harder than either of the kids, or we are not a strong as them.  Now I can only comment from my point of view on this, but it was like a bad movie that you have seen before.  I was roughly 5 hours behind Beth on the sickness.  So I could see what and where I was going before it hit me. Now I appreciated Beth taking one for the team and giving me a preview of the path the plague takes, but I hope to not have to ever do that again.  Its hard being sick in the first place, but when the person you can whine to and have them do things for you is sick too... well that is just... a sign of the end times.  And to add insult to injury, the kids did not want to sleep through the night AND the Thunder lost!  Needless to say I am tired, and so is Beth.  And I see how Beth got the nickname "lil' grump" ;)

On the bright side though we got this out of the way before our trip.

On the dark side, Harold Camping said he miscalculated and the End Times are Oct 21.  If this past week has been any sign of things to come, I plan on barricading myself and my family in!
