On being sick ...


So 2011 hasn't gotten off to a stellar start.

The boys got strep right before Christmas. Sean got strep right after. Hayley and I got a nasty cold at the start of the new year. One of those where you cough and can't for the life of you STOP coughing. Nightmare .. especially at night.

Then in comes the flu. The throw up kind. Eli started last Sunday night ... followed by Jackson ... who was followed by Hayley ... who was followed by me.

I'd rather scrub floors for an entire week straight than throw up. It was a night spent sleeping on the bathroom floor. Horrible .. awful ... (I'm in my bathroom puking and I can hear Hayley in hers doing the same .. ahh - the memories)

I have washed sheets .. blankets ... towels ... scrubbed bathrooms .. lysol'ed the entire house .. followed by bleaching the entire house. Surely I have killed ALL of the bacteria and virus's lingering in this infested house.

Finally yesterday was the first day back to school for everyone - okay .. except Hayley .. she was still feeling down.

I woke up this morning to Hayley crying about a migraine. I thought I was going to lose my mind. Right there. In fact, I looked around for something .. anything to throw and there was nothing but a pillow and that wasn't even worth the effort.

Stay out of my way today.

Someone might die.
