"I'm fine, just cleaning up the house, Rob is visitn and he took the kids out," I smiled. "Who's Rob?" he asked. "My oldest brother," I said sighing, "Cool," "Well can i come over and visit you?" he asked. "You've been sick," i said. "I know but I missed you," he said whining. "i seriously think we should wait a couple days," I said seriously. "Fine," he sighed a could tell he was irritated. "I'm sorry i just don't htink I should get sick right now," I explained. "It's cool," he said and hung up. i l hung the phone down sadly. i stared at the phone. How could he do that? Be mad at me just because I don't htink it'd be okay if we did anything when he was just getting over a stomach flu? I shook ifoff and turned aorund when I heard the door open. "Mommy!" Sean ran over and showed me a big stuffed tiger. "Ww, Where'd you get that?" I smiled. "Uncle Rob bought it for me!
