The Yuckies

Posted in Family

My poor little babies are sick.  Princess C woke up crying around 8:30 last night.  She had thrown up in bed.  I put her in the tub and got her all cleaned up and then sat on the recliner with her.  It wasn't too long before she started acting funny, so I jumped up and leaned her over me so I wouldn't get yucky, then I decided I didn't want the carpet yucky, so I thrusted her out over the dining room floor.  Meanwhile, my hubby jumps up and starts flinging an empty bin my way, but it was too late for that.  I was trying to keep her over the wood floor while kicking back the blankets that were on the floor and holding back her freshly washed hair.    Poor C was all upset because her feet got yucky.  After that mess got cleaned up, we set her up on the front room floor, explained to her what to do with the garbage can, and then I got ready for bed.  Just as I climbed into bed, Baby B starts a weird sort of whine.  The kind of whine that says, "What just happened?"  Sure enough, he was next.  This time, I didn't bother bathing him.  I just wiped him and changed him, cuddled him, and put him back down.  He was lucky and didn't wake up again until 5.  Princess C was not so lucky.  She was up about 4 times during the night.  This  morning, Baby B felt so awful, he just laid there.  No whining, crying, sucking his fingers, nothing.  Just laid.  And after awhile, he got up and took a few steps and then laid back down.  I spent most of my day cuddling the two of them.  They are better enough to eat, but now they have fevers.  I hope the rest of us don't get this.  It did not look fun.  I am so tired. 

D and N spent a good amount of time outside today.  It was nice enough and it kept them away from the germs.

Oh man, how miserable! I sure hope that the rest of you stay well! My little one was sick the other day, but not that bad! I'm praying the rest of us don't get it nonetheless. Hope they're feeling better!

Poor little ones. Although it's hard when they're just sick enough to be cranky and irritable, but not sick enough to be STILL, I do believe the absolute worst is when they're so sick and miserable they just lie there and hope nothing lands on them.

Here's hoping the nice fresh spring air will have your home cleared of the crud in record time!!

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L born May 18. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
