Superstitious?

The other day my husband and I were talking about what a long winter it has been with the kids being off of school so much due to the snow.  I pointed out that it was at least a better winter than the last one....that one was the looooooooooooooooooooongest of my life but for a very different reason.  My kids got every single bug that went around.  EVERY.SINGLE.ONE.  (and may have even invented a few new ones).  And of course they couldn't keep their bugs to themselves....they passed them along to their sibblings. 

Think I'm exaggerating?  My friends marked my house with QUARANTINE and were afraind to even read my emails or facebook posts for fear of catching something.Just to make my point: my oldest missed 28 days of school.  That doesn't cover the weekends and holidays he was sick on.  The Middle Child missed 23 days and I swear he was sick every weekend and day off of school.  Baby Girl was in preschool so I didn't keep track of her days missed but I assure you it was a lot. 

So anyway, what does my brilliant husband do?  He points out that the Big Kid hasn't been sick, in fact he points out he hasn't missed one day of school yet this year.  My reaction?  "ARE YOU FREAKING CRAZY?!?!?!?!  Thanks, Thanks a lot.  You've just jinxed the kid and doomed me home with a sick kid after all of these freakin' snow days."  He accused me of being superstitious and that talking about it did not cause sick kids.

Guess what?  Want to know who is home sick today?  The Big Kid.  Want to know what he has?  The stomach bug.  He has been puking since some time in the middle of the night.  Want to know who is home with the sick kid?  Me.  Want to know where the jinxing husband is?  Blissfully off at work away from puke.  Want to know who got an earful when he called home to check on things this mornig?  Yeah, that would be the jinxing husband.  He got a grocery list of gatorade and crackers to pick up on his way home.  I'm trying to think of more creative ways to get back at him later.
