The Germs Have Taken Over - And I've Waved The White Flag

My son has been sick of most of the last 4 weeks.  It's not been anything serious enough for the doctor to give him meds, but with a gross runny nose and fevers every other day, he's not been in preschool for almost a month.

When he finally got better, we sent him back.

And he brought home the flu.

And shared it with all of us.

So now is Day 5.  He got it first, then S, then me, then Steve, then E.

Now, 5 days later, Steve and I still aren't feeling well, while the kids are running around like maniacs!

We've Lysol, bleached, and steam cleaned EVERYTHING.  Which doesn't help my headache or nausea w/ the strong smells...

So I've embraced that I'm sick; I've used that time to focus on me.  I slept.  I watched movies.  I read 3 books on my Kindle.  (The Hunger Games Trilogy - I'll write a review later)


So here it is at day 5, and at least I'm out of bed and able to get some work done.  I suppose that's one of the benefits of working from home.

So while I sit writing, my hubby is resting on the couch, and my son is kicking butt on Wii Bowling.  Maybe tomorrow everything will go back to normal.  Today, I'll enjoy some quite time.

sick toddlers = no fun

J is sick...again.

He's puked on the carpet, the kitchen floor, both couches and of course my new suit. Everywhere but the bathroom...

We just got over him being sick for 2 weeks - contant fevers, nothing the doctors could do w/o any other symptoms.

He just went back to school, and now I have to keep him out again.

I have used all my towels and had to change the sheets I laid on the couch twice.

So just a few minutes ago, I could tell he was going to get sick again, I brought him into the bathroom.  And now he wants to stay there

Thankfully, due to couponing I have a stash of Lysol (almost out though after the last couple of weeks)

I hate when the kids are sick, especially like this.  Thankfully, I've never had more than 2 people sick at a time in my house.  (knock on wood).

I have to pull an all-nighter tonight anyway, but this is going to make getting my work done even harder.
