Sick and tired

The past week has not been my week. I have cleaned up puke (not my own), ruined Valentine's Day, spent a restless night almost puking, thinking for sure I was going to, but not (is there anything worse? Besides actually puking?), dealt with a sick baby, a sick Charlie and a sick Emma, soothed a separation-anxiety-laden Charlie, the list goes on and on. And now I think I have a cold. Remember before you had kids, how when you were sick, you got to stay home and be sick all day? That was awesome.

Going to bed now...

Poor Poor Elizabeth!! It is so hard being a mommy when you are not feeling well. I really hope you all get well soon and get those sickies out of there!

It's dangerous to think about life before kids...

I feel your pain. It will pass, just not as fast as you'd like.

Did Charlie puke on Teddy again? I mean, cuz really, that would be...suspicious. Get well soon.

Elizabeth said...

No, Charlie did not puke on Teddy. This time Emma puked on the couch...and the stairs...and the rug...and my coat...and the sink...and the step stool. Really, it's easier to list the things she didn't puke on. I spent the day cleaning her trail of puke and then changing Charlie's underpants about every five minutes (his version of the sickness manifested itself in a different way). I blame February. This kind of thing always happens in February.

Sorry to hear you guys have been sick! That sounds miserable I hope the worst is over.

I feel so sorry for you.I've had alergys for what it seems like a month.
Oh February, Why can't you run along with the other months?

I am now in the middle of "cleaning up puke" now, 5yo girl puke who said..."i feel like a turtle head is coming out of my throat!" Poor thing! I hate the stomach flu the worst! I'm glad you are all feeling better now! Gives me hope! :)

As I'm sitting here totally chuckling at all of this, I really do feel for all of you but since it's March 8th that I'm finally getting to read this, I won't feel too badly that I'm getting great endorphins from laughing so much. Hope everyone is feeling better and March is a kinder month.
