You Might Want to Steer Clear of our House this Weekend

Last night, just as I was coming home from taking the kids to piano, Scott and Nathan got sick.

I was secretly grateful we were a few minutes late getting home so that Scott had to be the one to scrub out the carpet.

(Don't tell him I said that)

Don't worry, I had my turn later when Brett and JD were sick several times over, from the hours of 8 PM until this morning. Luckily, they managed to hit the toilet, a bowl, or the bed sheets and blankets almost every time.

By 5:00 AM our hampers were overflowing and we were down to using just sleeping bags.

Clara also had a high fever all night and Samantha has been coughing and aching as well.

I've been feeling inklings of similar symptoms coming on, but I refuse to let them get any worse.

If I get sick, who is going to plow through the laundry, clean out the bowls of sickness, and administer the Motrin and Vicks Vaporub?

  5. That's the worst! I don't know if it's better to all be sick at once and get it over with, or better to get it one after the other so there's less work at once. I hope you all got over it quickly. xo
