meat

January 15th, 2009

Today was a COLOSSALLY bad day. So bad that my husband found two of the kids and I sitting in a tangled heap of arms and legs BAWLING our eyes out at 5pm. One of them was coughing, sneezing and dripping snot with a double ear infection (and was puking with a fever yesterday) and the other was burning up with fever, screaming because she “gotsd the flu and the headache”. I was crying because, well, that’s what I do when I am exhausted, overwhelmed and have been covered in barf, snot and diarrhea for the last few days. FUN TIMES!

Our oldest was also home from school today. He’s got a cold and I didn’t want to inflict his germy spray on his classmates. Since all of the kids were sick, I let them watch A LOT of tv today. The BEST part of my whole day came when the kids were watching Little Bear. Tuck got a funny look on his face while he was watching Little Bear dance around with all of his friends and then blurted out, “Little Bear’s friends are all meat. It must be weird to want to eat your friends!”. That little gem has kept me laughing through MOST of the day.
