I’ve heard of people with more than one child sometimes being sick for weeks, but you know, I chucked it to bad hygiene, an unhealthy diet, children who go to daycare or school, you name it. Not us (hand to head in melodrama)!
Well, we have been around a lot of kids prior to this because of Halloween. We have been sick for weeks. First it was a harmless (ha!) cold. I was cooped up into the house for two weeks with two children 5 and under — aargh! Any parent knows what I mean.
Then son got a stomach virus that keeps returning, and daughter’s molars are coming out — four molars at the same time. Sigh. I’ve been looking forward to volunteering for a weekend Green Festival. Unfortunately I can’t make it, as I’m tired, have a sore throat, a stuffed up feeling in my ears, and a headache.
However, instead of feeling sorry for myself, which I think is not a bad thing in itself, I could hang out and update my blog a bit. I always try to see the silver lining in everything. If life is telling me to slow down a bit and enjoy the children, so be it. Even if the children have stuffy noses, fussy temperaments and wake up in the middle of the night.
