Wow, that was one nasty bug. I did approximately a million loads of laundry but the upside is I don't think any more is waiting for me. Nobody has puked since this morning. The kids did OK, we did OK, we are all OK and in the end all will be well and here we are.
It sucked to spend the last 2.5 days of spring break being sick and recovering from that though. I feel like every time I start to make progress something like this happens and sets the house back to "bomb went off". Oh well. I'm sure by tomorrow afternoon things will look passable.
I just typed and deleted a paragraph about the dynamics of assistance offered to a family, especially one with a lot of little kids when people start dropping from illness. The more a person has on their plate, the less help they must need, right? Not really. That said, we made it through. I hope I remember these times when I am faced with and in the position to be of assistance to family or friends in a similar position.
On another note, Spring Break is drawing to a close and school resumes tomorrow. I realized that I feel like we have finally hit our groove in most ways (especially our Kindergarten kid, and our 6th grader) and school is about 8 weeks from ending... right when we are getting good at it and the routines involved. I have to keep focusing on each day being another opportunity to get things right - and in most ways, I think we do.
That's all for now. I'm going to bury myself on the couch in a blanket and read.
