Okay, so the viral thingy has upset my stomach too.  Just as I was looking at the IBS network pages (http://www.theibsnetwork.org/) for helpful tips, a phone call about a sick grandbaby in hospital puts my gripes into perspective.

Babies are so helpless. I find I have easily managed space in my heart and mind for these new additions to the family as well as my adult children and their partners.  I remember my parenting years and although ageing is not for sissies (Betty Davis?) neither is being a parent.
