Last week was school vacation. It was not among the best we've had.
Why not? Let's see...
...Hubby traveled for work for the first 3 days of vacation, leaving me home with the 3 boys. Which would have been a challenge even under perfect conditions.
...As soon as Hubby left, I started feeling sick. It got worse and worse, so the next day I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with strep throat.
...Baby A decided that this would be the perfect time to experiment with never sleeping longer than 45 minutes at a time. Apparently he does not believe that people need rest to recover from an illness.
...I discovered that it is very difficult to manage 3 children alone when one can barely swallow or raise her voice above a whisper. And when one has not slept in 2 days.
...The day after Hubby returned from his trip, C was diagnosed with strep throat. O also started with a fever, so he's being treated too.
...When I finally started feeling better (thank goodness for Amoxicillin!!!), I spent the rest of the week on a laundry and Lysol binge.
Yup! I think I need a vacation from this vacation!!!
doesn't it always seem that we moms get sick at all the wrong times. And when we start feeling better we wish we had some one who took care of all the "mom things" while we were sick.
