the pitts
Well it looks like it is our turn to get sick. This week has been a bit tough and only Paxton was sick this week! I have started to get a cold and so have Ryan and Gauge. We have seriously tried to separate Paxton and Gauge all week to try to prevent any chance of Gauge getting sick. We are terrified that he will get RSV like Pax did last year. Paxton started out with a cold and whats weird about it is that it will get really bad at night. Wed night he even got a temp and was at 103 degrees. Next morning his temp was gone and he only had his cold. Gauge has started to sound sick and he started with a runny nose earlier today... his first cold! Cross your fingers, this cold is a tough one and it has hit Ryan and I really hard within the last day or so, so please pray that Gauge can withstand this cold without getting too sick. I really don't know what we all have but I hate it! Being sick is the pitts! 
Another thing that I need to post, I had the most embarrassing moment in my life just happen! I am sitting on the main police channel right now for our city. This is the channel that all officers and dispatcher listen too. Quite often administration like the Chief or the Mayor listen to us. I am the dispatcher speaking to EVERYONE. Well, when I drink soda, I will get air bubbles that go up my throat and they make a tiny burping kind of noise. It isn't a burp though, I swear! I can even talk normally when this happens. Well, while the microphone was keyed, and I was speaking to my officer, one of these air bubbles came out... I just kept talking. When I quit keying my mic, I told the girls that I thought I may have made a burping sound on the radio. So we all quieted down and I played back the tape as we listened for any possible burping noise. As the tape plays I think I am in the clear, then a pause, then as I begin speaking again, a loud, distinct, brrrrruuuuppp. I have never laughed so hard, and been so embarrassed at the same time. Everyone in dispatch was laughing so hard we were crying. When we all finished laughing, we played it again and laughed our heads off again. I wish I could play it for you, it was gold! Definitely, the most embarrassing moment in my life! Right now all that I am holding onto is that maybe no one knows its me on the air because of my cold. Good Grief!

Hey sorry you guys are all sick! There is definitely something going around -- EVERYONE seems to be sick these days! Hope you all are feeling a lot better soon! And thanks sooooo much for your great email. So many really good suggestions that I will definitely use! Love ya!
I'm so sorry you're all sick! My family had that about a month ago, we were sick off and on for about two weeks. It was awful! Hope you guys feel better soon. Also, my husband works for the Fire Dept. in Orem and listens to dispatchers all the time - I had to share your burping story! He wishes the dispatchers over there were just as exciting!
