UGH!  We spent most of R's birthday all cooped up in the house yesterday because A was sick.  She had a quick Motrin-induced energy burst where she was able to play outside, go for a walk, and ride her bike, (with no training wheels--- finally!) but by dinner she had completely depleted all of her energy reserves and she crashed.

M woke up at 12:30 a.m. with a fever and he started vomiting about an hour later.  Luckily he seems to be past the throwing up, but he still has a fever and has been intermittently napping and moaning pitifully on the couch since he got up this morning.

R refused to eat breakfast this morning and said she didn't feel right.  Then she took a 4 hour nap.  She just made a beeline for the bathroom and her vomiting has begun.  At least she can always make it to the toilet or the bowl!

C is fever free, but just had 3 diarrhea filled diapers.  He keeps pointing to his diaper and telling me he is "stinky" right before he goes though, as if that makes it any better.

As for me, I am saying silent and not-so silent prayers that this will all clear up by tomorrow.  R's sleepover birthday party is scheduled for Friday night and I would hate to have to cancel it due to illness; I have a feeling that no one would come.  I am also busy running from one sick kid to the other, all the while juggling time entertaining the non-ill one.  It'll be a miracle if I don't come down with this as well.

Hope all of you are having a better day than I am!
