That Widow

Day 160 and it was a good run.

It was good while it lasted but the dreaded sickness is back. I got all of the kids better over Christmas break and it was so nice not to see snot or hear coughing in the house. They go back to school and the following weekend I had 2 with croup and another 2 with colds. This weekend the GI bug has started taking them out. So far 3 of them have it. It’s just a matter of time. It’s like a ticking time bomb. I did 6 loads of laundry today, started disinfecting, cleaned the carpet (because puke), and gave baths.

I’m tired from starting my day at 1:45am but such is the life of a parent. I hope they can all sleep tonight and bypass anymore of them getting sick. I know it’s not realistic but I can still hope lol. I had to cancel the oldest going to his choir concert tomorrow. I don’t like sharing our sick germs with others.

Day 160 and it’s not a gift to keep on sharing.
