If you do not want to hear me whining, please stop reading here.
So, there should be some law ingrained in the universe that parents are not able to get sick. There's no time for it. I have had sick kids ALL week, and yesterday Ryan and I came down with it.
But being sick is not what I would like to whine about. Gabriel is staying home from school today...I think I should have sent him anyway....for sanity's sake. My children woke up whining and have not stopped. Then Eme and Oliver BOTH spilled their cereal, which of course I get the honor of cleaning. And all the while Ryan is getting ready for work, then abandons me to what I can only describe as the very pit of you-know-where.
Why does a regular day have to be so hard? Why can't I wake up to happy, sunny, cheerful children and a stomach that does not roll and gurgle as if it is going to explode?
No, today is not that day.
Today, every room in my house smells like vomit. Today, my children are all still getting over illnesses and they all need my attention. Today, I have to clean cereal off of every surface in my dining room. Today, I get to watch my husband walk cheerily out the door to a world that is full of adults and clean halls. Totally not fair.
Today I am hoping for Divine intervention.
Oh, Liz I am so sorry! I understand totally! I have been sick since about the 5th of February. I got a 2 day stomach virus, 2 days later Tanner got it, then Erin got the flu, them Kayla got the flu, then Tanner got the stomach virus again while I started on the flu, then Joseph had croup and flu, I was still sick with flu that was the worst I have ever felt, I mean EVER! Then Joseph got an ear infection, terry came down with strep. All the while I was still sick! Finally 3 weeks later they said mine turned into a bad sinus infection and put me on antibiotics! I am finally feeling better almost a month later!! So there, you can feel better!

ReplyDeleteActually Ryan offered to take off work and stay home to help me. I was just jealous that he got to leave and I didn't! :)
