Sick Days

We spent long four days under the weather with the stomach bug. Though we all had it, thankfully, we didn't all have it at the exact same time.  The Princess led the way and was sick first. So she was better when the big kids and I got sick. Ben stayed home from work one day to help me. He did lots of laundry and lots of playing with his Princess.


The Munchkin and Handsome Man spent nearly 3 days in their "sickie beds". We move their beds to the living room couch so that they can watch TV (and basically have Mommy's attention as much as possible).



The Little Mister was also sick but it didn't bother him too much. He just ate less and wanted to spend time with Mommy. So when I was feeling better, we did some laundry together.


At the end of the week, Ben got sick too.  It was nearly impossible not too; we had changed so many sheets, given baths, etc.  He almost never lays on the couch in the middle of the day. But he did this week for one whole day. The Princess wanted to make sure he wasn't lonely.


We all recovered fully and are back to normal routine of school and work tomorrow.

I feel for you because we have it now. Only two of our five have it and now I'm down for the count. Glad to hear there is an end in sight since you are all feeling better!
