Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

What a Week!

May 6, 2012

We started last week off with severe storms and ended it – at our house anyway – with a stomach virus that is still working it’s way through family members. Oh, and trying to get our first week of school done after break as well. So, here’s a quick recap.

After all the storms blew through on Monday night I went to bed and to sleep. Unbeknownst to me, Chris was up during the night throwing up. When I got up Tuesday I noticed his car was still here and I ran upstairs to get him up thinking he had overslept. That’s when he told me he was sick and had already called in. Oh goody – a stomach virus – I knew what that meant.

Everything was okay until Thursday when I came down with it. Mostly I laid around like a lump for most of the day while kids quietly did schoolwork and also helped make lunch. I sent Mike out for supper since I was still too weak to make it or eat it. It’s a good thing I preserved my strength because by early evening Katie was the next to get sick. So much for resting for mom. She was up off and on all night and some overnight and I helped her and cleaned as needed.

Yesterday, Saturday, I felt much better and went shopping in the morning. Everything seemed fine until around 11pm when Becky started tossing her cookies, immediately followed by Maggie. UGH. I just stayed up all night knowing that Nurse Mommy was going to be on call. I did get a couple of hours of sleep, but that’s probably going to be it until later. Much later.

SO, today I’ll mostly help the sicklings and do some cleanup as well. I think tomorrow we’ll take a sick day from school and I’ll do some more clean up and nursing kids back to health. We’ll see if the other two get sick today or tomorrow as well. Oh, and we’re supposed to get more storms today – baseball sized hail is possible. Wow – sounds like fun.
