We have one child down here…..I saw it coming and the crying about her ears soon ended in projectile vomiting all night. But this girl just makes the easiest patient…..no crying when she’s being sick and the only tears came when she screamed out ‘eeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww I have vomit in my hair’…..poor little princess. I had to translate for retro daddy and we all quickly raced her into the bath to clean her hair. I think we need an emergency sick shelf where clean towels, sheets, pj’s are all located in the one spot with a bucket, some panadol and the thermometer. Anyway, Miss Keira and I fell asleep in a bed of towels at 4.30am…..yawn…..
And boy oh boy do I love school holidays because a quick call to my mum to help me get them all to the dr this morning. And just as I suspected, middle ear infection and unexpectedly one ruptured eardrum. Anti-biotics have kicked in so quickly and little miss had enough energy to do some painting and apologise for crying about her ears last night, awwwwwww. Meanwhile, the twins show no sign of sickness (yet!) as they chase each other around the furniture, and yes Finn is armed with a knitting needle (do not try this at home!). And so now I’ll get back to the towels, oh my, the towels….so many towels to wash and dry today with some sheets and pj’s thrown in too.
And when everyone naps (well I hope they do) and the washer and dryer are humming along I will get back to reading my lovely new book, Pioneer Woman Cooks….which arrived on my doorstep this morning. Oh it’s a good one and great price at the moment too.
I think cinnamon scrolls will be in the oven this weekend and I’m bookmarking a few more delicious recipes which are perfect for busy families. A lovely book, I want to read it cover to cover and the very homely styling really appeals to me!
Poor Keira!! I so hope the twins will be ok!
Poor Keira! She sounds so sweet, despite all the spew.
Hope the rest of you stay healthy. xx
Oh, poor thing! Hope she will get better soon and the twins won’t get it!
Enjoy your new book!
oh Corrie hope she is better really soon. I can sympathise….5yr old just over ear infection and 2yr with projectile vomiting and tonsillitis, up 5-7 times a night and 10 days till I have another baby….what was I thinking?
enjoy your downtime – you deserve it!
Aww poor little munchkin and poor mumma for having to deal with it all. Hope you got your ‘book time’ today! I like the look of that book…
Oh no! I hope she recovers quickly. And that the rest of family stays healthy.
Poor little floss – and is if you wouldn’t be tired enough at the moment? Woweeeee.
I hope she’s totally recovered soon! Kids are really resilient though!
I love my Pioneer Woman Cooks – the photographs are as beautiful as the recipe! I just love the chapter she writes about her hubby ‘Marlboro Man’. awwww.
Poor Keira!
Hope you all get a nap today!
I’ve been looking at that book. I have another friend who recommended it.
those scrolls are a winner. made them twice since christmas and sooooo worth the effort.
hope keira is in the mend x
Oh dear – you have had a run of sickness’ this year haven’t you – stay well Retro Family:) Love Tilly’s bolera BTW.
Poor keira. Hope the rest of you remain well.
I love teh Pioneer Woman – have you seen her blog. http://thepioneerwoman.com/confessions/ She is funny and very throught provoking in turns.
Good to hear that Keira has improved.
My Son was about 2 when he was running around with a crochet hook that he had just found. He jumped on the sofa and the crochet hook went through the top of his ear and into his skull. I was more concerned than him
Oh no the poor little thing. So glad to hear that she has recovered so quickly and has a big smile on her face. I hope Keira keeps on getting better and the twins stay well. Take care.xo
Oh no ! My daughter always gave a wail just before the big event !
Good luck with all the washing .
oh poor darling… ear ache is yak yak yak…. happy cooking that book looks fab….hope they slept well for you and now are sleeping again…
Hugs Dawn x x
Keira must be feeling so much better now, how painful for a ruptured ear drum, no wonder she was throwing up. The twins look like they are full of energy though so I hope no-one else gets sick. Your cookbook looks great, off to check it out.
Awww, Miss Keira is such a sweetie! I hope she’s all better now!
I hope it doesn’t pass through the rest of the family. Oh dear!
Try to get some rest.
Glad she’s feeling a bit better.
Hate those nights!!
Hope the weekend is more restful.

Poor Keira, I hope she has a speedy recovery. The emergency shelf sounds like a great idea!
Poor Keira – glad she has improved. I can sympathise with your middle of the night vomit cleaning. The emergency sick shelf sounds like a great idea!
I remember those nights with my little girl and ear infections…oh my such trauma! Anyway on to the cookbook….I love it…..the olive cheese bread is to die for….we like the optional artichoke idea. Enjoy!
Oh you poor things, it’s just horrid when little ones are so sick. I hope she’s better soon and the twins escape it!
