The Sniffles

This morning when we all got up to face the new day i realised my son had the sniffles. Now for starters, how the hell does anyone get a cold when its hot as and has been for the last couple of weeks. So needless to say i didnt send him to school for fear of infecting the other kids at school and forever being looked down upon by the other mothers as "that woman who was cruel and mean and sent her child to school while ill and he proceeded to infect the whole class including my child" so now, (if only in my own imagination) i wont be "that woman." Although heres to hoping he's better tomorrow morning, because today he drove me nuts!
Apparantly Adelaide has shattered the record for longest heat wave.
"As extreme temperatures spread into other states today, the South Australian capital notched up its 11th consecutive day of 35 degrees Celsius or above to claim an unwelcome record.
And it can expect no relief for at least another six days.
The length of the heatwave surpasses the previous capital city record of 10 days above 35 degrees, recorded in Perth in February 1988"

anyway on a lighter note, while looking for the cute germ picture above (i must say, thats the first time ive ever heard 'cute' and 'germ' in the same sentence) i found this really funny cartoon i couldnt help but check out his archives and have been laughing my ass off for the last few hours, not even realising the afternoon had been slipping away from me all along, poof! gone
If you have some time to waste and feel like a laugh check out his work.
