My children are sick again. It is really disgusting that I haven't posted anything on this blog since the last time my children were sick. My children really don't get sick that often. We seem to be a fairly healthy crowd, but this winter has been a whopper. Since the beginning of December we have been tackling the green nose river and cough. No one had it especially long, but after going through 8 people, it can take 8 weeks----the past two months.
Just yesterday, I thought, "I think we are finally healthy." I hadn't even wiped a nose for two days. The weather was amazingly warm (for January) in the 50s, and I opened up ALL of the windows in my house. Out with the bad air, and in with the fresh air. It was wonderful, and the house felt so fresh and spring-like.
Fast forward to 4:00 am this morning. My six year old comes running into our room to tell me that he doesn't feel good, just in time to project from the mouth all over my carpet. Yuck! Well, the day had to get going some time, right?
We have been dealing with him fairly well today, and bleaching everything. He has been sick from the other end as well. How on earth can we be cycling through another flu bug? Or are we on the same one again?
Eight hours later, now my two year old went running to the toilet. She has been fully potty trained for almost a year, but sickness is something else. Lets just say things exploded all over the floor before getting to the toilet. Who cleans up these messes? I looked around for volunteers, and found out it was me : )
I just have to laugh about it. Thank goodness for paper towels, bleach, bleach, and febreeze!
I must apologize if anyone is actually reading this. I know it is absolutely disgusting. Couldn't I have any other inspiring mother stories this winter besides sickness??????
I just don't want to forget these times when they are gone. And this is a bit of a stress reliever for me after being pinned in the sick house for two months!!!!!!!
If anyone else out there has sick kids this winter, you aren't alone!
