You just couldn't make it up....

My little boy is 6 today!
The house looks like a bomb site and I've got 18 children coming back after school for a jelly-and-ice cream-party.
As if crohn's isn't enough, I have to wake up with a raging temperature and a cold. There is literally not a single part of my body that doesn't ache.
I feel faintly delirious but I suppose it might not just be the cold, it could just as easily be the thought of all those children....
