House of Germs

The sick bug didn't skip over us. RJ got some sort of stomach flu, and spent most of Friday night (ALL NIGHT) and off and on Saturday vomiting all over me. Jackson's fever has been playing peek-a-boo so he's been drugged with Motrin and Tylenol for the last two days. He did manage to sneak in Coby's birthday party yesterday which he surprisingly perked up for and had lots of fun. We left Ray and Pukey home, and decided to get out of the house for a bit to enjoy the giant waterslide and some partying. Today seems to be better but we're all exhausted. Jackson woke me up around 4:30am with another slight fever, but after giving him Motrin and the green light to get in my bed, he decided he wanted to talk about his favorite rides at Disney instead of sleeping a few more hours. Needless to say, we all just got up and started the coffee. RJ followed around 5:30am. What IS IT with these kids and waking up while it's still dark out lately? Anyway, we all have bags under our eyes and we WILL be napping today. Not sure if they'll be well enough for school tomorrow, but for now it's quiet and puke-free, and that's all a mom can ask for.

Sorry to hear the boys were sick! But school germs usually catch up to them after the first month or so. Try to think of it as getting it out of the way early, before our gorgeous weather hits in a month or so!

Glad everyone seems to be doing better! Get rested and get well!

Good to hear they seem to be doing better - take advantage of the Sunday and grab some rest while and whenever you can.
