Contagion Central aka my home

[angela_o]

Yes, #4 got the stomach bug that #3 had earlier in the week and proceeded to get sick numerous times during last night and was home from school today with the added bonus of a fever. Then tonight #2 started throwing up as well and #1 said that his stomach felt "weird". I'm envisioning my weekend and it's not a pretty picture. Particularly since my husband has to be at work all weekend long. Although, I have to say that every time my kids get sick with a stomach bug I realize anew how horrible it must have been to deal with this situation before the advent of modern washing machines. Can you imagine being stuck in some isolated tiny cabin on the frontier with sick kids, no washing machine *and* very few spare clothes and/or bedding? Nightmare time. It could be much, much worse. *shudders*

I sincerely hope that each of you is having a much more contagion-free weekend. Off I go to check on the ill ones.

Muchas gracias. You kinda reach a Zen state with these sorts of things. And it could be worse, they could all be sick simultaneously. :)

Hope all your sickies are feeling a bit better, and that you got a good night's sleep to keep you going. Sending good thoughts of clean laundry and invigorated immune systems.

Hopefully we're on the upswing. I'm reconciled to being housebound this weekend. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be able to sleep through the night tonight.

By the way, how's the Petersburg Plan developing? That actually sounds vaguely covert don't you think? lol
