A: A blizzard + 4 children + husband with the stomach flu
The Plague struck the first of my offspring at exactly the right time (one hour before my husband's work Christmas party on Friday night), though not in the most desirable place (on the freeway in bumper-to-bumper traffic).
I got hit on Sunday morning.
P.S. After much hair-pulling and wandering aimlessly through the mall, my husband did manage to rustle up some holiday gifts for his employees, or at least so he claimed. He wouldn't tell me what he ended up buying, and I probably don't want to know. Innocence is bliss.
See you tomorrow.
At lease he found something.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you are all feeling icky. Hope you are on the upswing.
ReplyDeleteOuch hope you all feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteHope you're all feeling better soon. We went through that a couple weeks ago. Miserable.
ReplyDeleteYuck! Hope you all feel better soon! My daughter got croup last Saturday... which turned into a virus... AND an ear infection... Now my husband and I are pretty much down as well. We missed Chanukah, and I'm guessing it's going to be a Chinese food type Christmas.
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon!! It is never fun to be sick and have sick babies and have the holidays on the way - quickly! Good luck!

Oh yuck!! So sorry. I hope you all get it soon and over with by Thurday!! Not a fun time to be sick.
ReplyDeleteOh... that's an honestly sad little picture! I hope you all feel better soon?
ReplyDeletehugs to you and the family. I don't want to imagine that many people vomiting at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAll I can think looking at this picture is poor, poor Lightning McQueen.
ReplyDeletePraying all are well before Friday. Although, I think Christmas is coming late for a lot of people. Everyone is getting sick.
ReplyDeleteMy now grown kids tell me that simply placing the bowl near their heads was enough to inspire vomiting. The figured I had some kind of upchuck ESP and knew it was coming!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I just had the blizzard which after reading this I will stop whining about.
ReplyDeleteHelpful advice: Dry erase board to keep track of everyone's meds and times given (including your own). No way my brain can keep track in times like that.
ReplyDeleteAlso- good sick kid craft/time waster: have them string pony beads on a loooooong string (I used a plastic lanyard because I had some on hand) to make a festive garland for the tree.
Lesson learned: keep some old towels in the car. And some plastic bags.
ReplyDeleteTip for your week: a cornucopia of television
Awe- hope they feel better. Thank god he found something

At least you can all get over it and be done with it instead of stringing it out for weeks with somebody always being sick...right?? Trying to be encouraging ;)I think 1 of mine was sick all winter last year all at different times, the triplets share sippies so I don't know how they didn't get it all at once.
ReplyDeleteSO Sorry....I hate the stomach flu so much that I get a little nervous just reading your post...for fear we might catch the bug through the computer ;)
ReplyDeleteHow you and your household are almost recovered by now!
I'm so sorry. I hope Santa brings a big dose of health and peace to your home.
ReplyDeleteFor years whenever someone said "I don't feel very good..." my blood ran cold! Seriously, is there anything worse than the stomach flu? So sorry for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteYikes! I hope you all feel better!
ReplyDeleteWhat? No "Brownies In a Jar"??
ReplyDeleteOoh, that happened to us literally minutes after my fourth child opened her last 1st birthday gift. My then 5 year old unloaded all over herself. By the time we made the hour drive home, the rest of the kids and myself went down within hours of each other. It was not a pretty night for my husband :(
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're all through it now!
Ugh, we are battling it currently and it is just awful. Made for a messy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI've been thrown up on at least 6 times since 3:30am.
ReplyDeleteSick toddlers are really hard, but right now I'm praying my husband doesn't get it... that would be way worse!
