Remember when it was just you? Ok, you might have to really go back now. And remember when you got sick? You’d take a day or two off work, catch up on some oprah on the couch and take it easy. All you had to do was worry about yourself and getting better. Fast forward to running a family and when someone gets sick…….well in our experience everyone gets sick and mummy works overtime keeping up with caring for everyone.
Keira picked up a tummy bug on thursday and it kept me busy for a few days…the dr said it would pass in 48 hours but it didn’t. By Sunday retro daddy was down and yesterday all 5 of us were down and eating hydralite icey poles (best invention eveeeeer!) and lying on the couch. We took it in turns to change nappies on the twins but really we could have permanently manned a nappy change station………it was non stop nappy action. There wasn’t much chance to sleep last night and retro daddy and I had a ‘buddy’ each and took it in turns to grab more towels, change pj’s, change nappies until about 5am……yawn.
So today you can’t enter my laundry on account of the piles of laundry which I’m madly washing and drying, mummy and daddy are exhausted while the kids are back to their normal rowdy selves. On the plus side we did all cosy up on the couch yesterday afternoon to watch Home Alone 3 and other kids movies, I read over 40 pages of Eat Pray Love and cast on a new baby kina (photos of a finished kina coming tomorrow)…..so not all bad.
Oh Corrie! I feel your pain! Common saying around here “only one vomit away from catastrophe!” Hope you are all well soon and the laundry…good luck with that! Wish I could help out xox
i really hope you recover quickly so you are all better by the time the baby arrives!
we are sick in our house too sadly
Oh we have had this before – really drains you. I hope it is all up hill from here xx thinking of you
oh I feel your pain too… once one gets it, everyone does in our house and as a Mum you just have to keep on going, no matter how you feel. Hope you feel better soon and get some rest before your new addition arrives.
Darling, get well soon!! I think i have the only family where one child can be struck down with a bug & they don’t share, we’re not even freaking washing hand disinfecting OCD people either. Hang in there, it can’t last forever, love Posie
I do hope you all feel much better soon. The hydrolite icypoles are a blessing, and the hydrolite drinks are great too for mums! Your Kina looks very pretty. I bought the pattern after you showed the last one. What yarn are you using, a 4 ply?
Aww, sorry to hear you’ve all been unwell! On the bright side, Home Alone 3 is a great movie 😉
xx
hope you are all on the mend…movie afternoon sounds lovely though and i can’t wait to see that movie!
awww no thats terrible, poor you i hope your all on the mend now.Look after yourself. Dee x
Oh, Corrie, I hope Gastro Boy zooms off soon! We had it with one year old Sam for 10 days recently, accompanied by projectile vomiting around the clock so I am sending you ♥♥♥ and empathy. Even the old ‘wear two nappies at once’ trick didn’t work. Hang in there, Chinese-laundry style! J x
hope you are all feeling better soon, lots of hugs and cuddles will keep you going!
So sorry!! You must be exhausted 9I was just reading about it!) Hope things are back to normal soon.
xx
Wowie.. that must have been crazy..??? Glad you are all better and you keep hydrated..Got to be on your best for the new one..
Heaps of hugs,
Maggey
