I Surrender....


I have taken down my "Welcome" flag and replaced it with a white flag of surrender. I am home with Sophie again , she started running a fever on Monday. Chris and I split the day Tuesday and I stayed home today. She didn't have a fever and all seemed like we would all be heading back to school tomorrow. But no dice folks. Ben called he had a headache and a fever, Sophie woke from her nap with a fever of 102 degrees and puked all over the kitchen floor. So needless to say I will be wiping down door knobs etc with Cl*orox wipes and taking yet another day without pay. No sick days left between my maternity leave and sick kids.... Care to join me in my pity party, y'all are invited, I would wear a mask and gloves if I were you.....

Oh man this is the stuff that scares the patooty off of me. I'm pretty sure The Boob won't make much of a babysitter if I have no PTO accrued when Baby gets ill.

Hope she's better soon :) I'll join you in your pity party- misery loves company and I miss you lots anyway.

Man, we are right there with you - no puking, but at separate 4 day intervals, all 6 of us have come down with this nasty 4-7 day sore throat, deep head congestion and fever. It feels and acts a lot like strep but it's not. And the whole 10 days before this virus, I was sick with a different one that left me wiped out. I feel for you! Feel better soon and hope you all mend quickly.

P.S. Don't you just love those cleaning wipes? I've been following my kids around with them all week :)
