It doesn't matter how much the nurse in me kicks in and forces the requirement of handwashing Q30 minutes by anyone in the house, germ-X use Q10 minutes.. It never fails.. If one gets sick, it spreads like wild fire! It started with my poor Sebastian. During my late night quiet time, I heard him whimpering.. So I go and check on him, and he looks like a squirrel saving up his winter meals in his cheeks.. It didn't take me long to realize what was really in those sweet blown up cheeks!! Thankfully we were able to make it to the bathroom, but needless to say, we were up for the night.. I have to use this moment as a quick bragging moment for my amazing 4 year old, and an even quicker dis on my not-so-amazing-when-it-comes-to-being-sick 14 year old.. Every time he knew he was going to be sick, he asked me to help him to the bathroom.. And he made it every single time.. My 14 year old.. CAN NEVER MAKE IT.. So when she gets sick.. It's a 2 am wake up call of scrubbing floors and walls!!! Luckily for all of us.. It only lasted 24-48 hours.
But based on my above clarification of who is the better sick person.. I give you one guess as to who got sick next. Yep, Ms. Messy herself.. This time, I just told her to take the trash can to her bed, because I refused to clean any floors or walls at 2 am! God love her, dry heaves quickly set in, and we were up for another night of fun. It doesn't matter how old they are, it's really pitiful when your 'babies' are sick.
The best part of my kids getting sick, is usually the fact that Mommy manages to never get it. I'm not sure how, but I have been lucky enough to miss it.. Until this time.. I honestly thought I may have had the flu.. My entire body ached! And now that everybody is over the stupid stomach bug that tried to take up residence, I want my house spotless and germ free.. Do you know how hard that is with 5 munchkins and a bad back?!
I am anxiously awaiting some, hopefully, good news next week.. So of course time is standing still.. So I'll be sure and blog and let you know if I receive it.. But until next time..
