Creeping Crud

Back when I was little and someone in my house would get sick, my dad would say we had the "Creeping Crud". Just saying it makes me giggle, "crud" is a funny word isn't it?

 

What in the heck is the "Creeping Crud" anyways? Well according to the Urban Dictionary  it is defined as

military slang for highly contagious virii such as colds, stomach bugs, etc. that leave a person with any debilitating combination of non-stop runny nose, coughing up heavy phlegm, vomiting, diarrhea, extreme muscle weakness/pain, etc. The "creeping" part refers to the fact that it seems to make its way through ALL of the ranks eventually.

 

Well that would explain why my dad used that terminology, he was after all a military man. 

So, what place does the Crud of the Creeping kind have on a craft blog you might ask? It has no place and I realy wish it would just get the heck out! I have been sick since Sunday night and I am ready to be well again, get back into my routine, get back to life! 

Maybe if I go back to bed I will wake up with renewed vigor and less of my old pal "The Crud"
