Have you missed me? Thursday I came down with the very icky Sickies! We’re talking the whole nine yards…as far as inability to keep anything in your body that is!
Bug had been sick earlier in the week, but he was the only one. Thursday though, Monkey had a little vomiting thing first thing in the morning (not horribly unusual for him though, he’s generally known as a puker LOL) and Salesman was complaining of a bit of a stomach ache. Based on what Bugs had done earlier in the week I decided to keep him home.
Later that morning my stomach was bugging me a bit too, but that afternoon they started dropping like flies (the kids I mean)!
CJ got home from school and within a half hour was laying on his bed, then Lion started complaining of a stomach ache and mine went from bad to much worse. Within a few hours they were all puking and totally sick! YAY!
So the total count by the end of the day…3 of us very sick, 3 more with stomach issues and Bug in a post-sick nasty mood! Again, YAY!
So, EVERYONE was home on Friday and Monday is a no-school day. So I have spent the entire weekend trying to catch up on everything I couldn’t do Thursday and Friday while still feeling a little wiped out from the whole thing.
We aren’t sure which is worse…having everyone sick at once and getting it over with or spreading it out by getting it one by one which can take a couple months to work it’s way through the whole family. I can say this for sure… I don’t mind having all the KIDS sick at once (I mean, if they’re going to be sick just get it over with in one fell swoop), but I’d rather that I was NOT sick at the same time!!! That was definitely the hardest part, not being able to take very good care of them because I was so sick too.
I hope you are having a VERY healthy winter everyone!!!

Oh my goodness, I am glad you all are feeling better, IMO I think having everyone sick at the same time is better then dragging it out…

No, sick is not at all fun…and to have so many sick at the same time…ohhhh…I’m so sorry. Come think about Easter, minus the candy and it will make you feel better.

It’s been about 3 weeks now that my two sons and I have been sharing colds. When I get better, my son gets worse and then when he gets better, I start another cold. It’s crazy.
Glad you feel better enough to blog.

Aww, I’m so sorry you’ve been going through the sickies. I think it would be better to get it all over with at once, but since that’s never happened around here I can’t prove that theory.
