I'm Mary-Catherine. Mother of two sons and a daughter, wife of Econ Man, a frequent traveler full of wonderlust. By day a profoundly exhausted Domestic Engineer: a cook, a referee, a psychologist, a nanny, a house cleaner, a computer operator, teacher, personal chauffer, laundress, interior designer, administrative assistant, bookkeeper, handy gal, groundskeeper, nutritionist, RN, logistics analyst, and day care teacher--all in all CEO of my domain. In a former life, a painter, a sculptor, a poet, a designer, a reader, an academic. But a woman who spurns definition by just one. My blogs chart our family's journeys around the world, searching out those unbelievable moments, both mundane and profound, that make me so happy to be alive.

Sick Day

So everyone, expect Dave, is officially sick. We have a cold. Which seems very fitting for Switzerland. Last time we were here we were all sick, too. The baby and mine is at coughing stage, and Declan's is at sneezing stuffy head stage. So, instead of it being a fun day outside sledding or taking the train to the top of the Jungfrau, we are staying in to watch a limited amount of tv (the TV has 8 channels, only one in English). I've learned that with kids you just have to be SO flexible. I figure that I'm going to be getting them out tomorrow to go back to Zurich, and then the next day we'll be on another airplane, so I should probably just keep them in when I am able. So, today will be pretty uneventful. At least for me and the kids. Dave is out skiiing with his long time Swiss friend Frank. So I'm sure he'll come in tonight commenting about how amazing the snow was and the skiing, and I'll ask him the watch the kids for 30 minutes so I can take a bath! Oh the things one looks forward to when kids are around! Hopefully, there will be something more exciting to talk about tomorrow. Tschuss for now!
