My home has been contaminated. It is toxic.
The Lil Diva brought the germs home last week - most likely from Pre-School!
She catches EVERYTHING! She was out of school for a week.
Poor thing you say! How about poor ME? This Mama is exhausted.
Of course now that she is FINALLY recovering - she has contaminated her poor sister and so the viscious cycle begins anew with no end in sight.
YAY - even more sleepless nights & cranky Divas! This is surely my idea of a good time, right?
WRONG! I am begining to unravel! I am TIRED of runny noses, coughs that interrupt my sleep all night, fever and vomiting and CRANKINESS!
Oh the crankiness! I can so do without the cranky in my day!
Frankly, the whole thing is making me well.......cranky (just ask the poor hubby!) :(
To make things even better - the hubby is now infected too! YES, I kid you not! They ALL have it!
See why I need the Hazmat Suit! The Nasty & Horrible GERMS have obviously taken over my home!
It's either the Hazmat Suit or ..........run for the hills and leave the cranky sickies to fend for themselves.
After the day I had today, that is beginning to look like the better option afterall! :)
What? You're shocked I said that or at least admitted it for all the world to see? Well, in my defense I never claimed to be perfect! I am not a Super Woman or a Super Mom. I am just ME trying to do the best that I can on a daily basis.
Today, it felt like a losing battle. Today, it felt like what I had left to give was not enough. Today I feel tired and spent!
I LOVE my family, both in sickness and in health but after the week I have endured I could go for some healthy right about now & this Mama is not ashamed to admit it!

Hi there! Just stopping in from the Blog hop! :-)
ReplyDeleteYuck! Hope everyone is feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteI gave you a blog award over on my blog. Check it out!
Oh my, I'm so sorry for you...that sounds terrible! I know how you feel. It's tough enough having everyone depend on you when they're well...but when they ALL get sick it can be enough to drive you crazy.
ReplyDeleteI bet you can get a Hazmat suit on Amazon...they have everything ;)
Bummer! Sickness sucks. Yep. Plain & simple. I actually woke up super sick this morning. Lucky for me the girls have not caught it. BUT it was very difficult getting out of bed! YUCKO.
ReplyDeleteFound your blog on the linky party at Mom Blog!
OH & just want to say I LOVE your intro over in the left corner. Completely relate to it.

Going to check out your neat giveaways now. :o)
Hazmat suits are awesome, but I don't think they would be able to withstand the onslaught of preschool germs. :)
ReplyDeleteHang in there Bern, it seems like its never ending, but it will get better. You defintely need a break. You need a nice glass of wine, a thirty minute bath and a great book. Love Ya
ReplyDeleteOh I totally understand where you are coming from with this one! I have three little ones, and they just pass the sickness back and forth over and over...its never ending really!
