My family has been fighting an illness for three weeks now. Off and on with the temps. Off and on with the vomiting. Off and on with the grouchiness (the grouchy part is just Mommy.)
I thought today, would be the day of complete healing. But, what do I awake and hear? “Mommy, my tummy hurts.” Ugh!!! “Just lay in Mommy’s bed and take a little nap.” He takes a little nap and hears the kids playing in the other room.
He goes into the playroom. Plays a little. All is fine, until he walks in to the living room. “Mommy, I sick….” and you really don’t want to hear what happens next. I yell for the plastic sack. We now have a pretty good system when vomiting starts. Everyone has a station. One gets a wet washrag, one gets a plastic sack, one gets a towel, and one calls Daddy.
Joys of being a mom. Joys of being the dad. Joys of parenthood. Wouldn’t trade it for anything!
You’re life sounds much like mine! I, too, have five kids…and recently added a niece and nephew to the brood. Thanks for sharing!
I hope you all feel better soon, too! And, I love the song! 🙂
I hope everyone is all better soon! We are friends with a couple here who have a 5 year old who has been having the same symptoms for the past few weeks. If you find out what it is, please let me know because they haven’t figured it out either.
Bummer!!! So sorry everyone is sick. Hope you’re all better soon. Sick kids give me the grouchies, too.
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that! We’ve had our share of a head and chest cold up here. By the way, I LOVE the song. Please don’t ever teach that to my son :)!
Grandma is on her knees, again. Love you!
