We’ve been pretty lucky up to this point. We’ve sucked down the orange juice, taken our vitamins with fervor, and lathered ourselves in Lysol.
But, it was all for not…
The creepy crud is officially here.
Two of the three kids are down for the count.
One has diarrhea. Thank God it’s the one in diapers, but still…
One has a combination of what I’m diagnosing as flu with a side of strep. We’ll know for sure after I drag all three children to the pediatrician this morning – pending we can get an appointment.
If it’s hit two of the three then it’s bound to his my boy before the weekend is out.
I’m sure us parents will be graced with its presence right about the time work arrives on Monday.
But, such is life.
So, I’m surrendering and raising the white flag. Tape up the door and quarantine us all. We’ll be spending our weekend fluids and way too many cartoons.
Now, if you’ll excuse me I must man my post by the phone so that when the pediatrician starts taking calls at exactly 7:30 I’ll…
sit on hold forever like everyone else happy to take whatever they have ’cause that’s how our pediatrician rolls.
breaking out the outbreak space suits… Think I've got one here for you… And of course this will be the only time for the next sixty days that I've got to work until midnight every day…
Feel better! we have been lucky to not have it yet….
Sorry to hear that. ((HUGS)) This is a safe hug! Hope everyone is better soon.
Happy Halloween!
Just as I was patting myself on the back for the apparent effectiveness of all of the hand washing and sneezing into our sleeves and staying generally healthy — the crud came to our house too. It is a sick week around here.
