Warning! Do not come within 20 feet of our house this week! We have been infested with bugs! (And I mean the sick kind.) Zack and I sort of started it off with just being congested and having a slight cough. This has been going on for...a while. Nothing too serious or that I cant handle. So Tuesday, I was planning on taking the kids to the childrens museum while the older ones were at school. Of course Madi woke up in the morning complaining that her tummy hurt.
I asked her "Do you feel like throwing up?"
Her reply "I dont know."
So I told her to eat some breakfast and see how she felt after that. She seemed fine to me, and I reassured her that if she stayed home she wasnt going to get to go to the museum with us. Miraculously she felt better after she ate. But then as Katelin is eating, she says:
"Mommy, my tummy hurts."
I guess that gave her a good idea. I also reassured her that we would not be going to the museum if she stayed home sick...but then she ran to the bathroom. It wasnt throw up, but still not good, if you get my drift.
So Im pretty much planning on cancelling my plans at an attempt to be a fun Mom for the day, but still waiting it out just in case. So I fix Madi's hair for school, during which time, Katelin goes to the bathroom again...this time it was throw up. Yup, Im stayin home today. So I send Madi off to school, and then a little later I get a call from Ryan telling me that he is feeling weak, having chills, an upset stomach and sore muscles. Sounds bad right? But no fever. A couple hours later Katelin is up and running around like nothing happened. Well, Ryan plugs through the rest of the work day, and heads home a little early to come home and pile on the blankets to try and get warm. Still no fever though.
Then Wednesday comes...I know this is getting long, but I will get to the point. Ryan stayed home, and started to feel better. The kids went to school. Things were looking up. I was feeling a little tired, and still congested, but welcome to the last two weeks. Then Madi comes home from school saying:
"My throat has been hurting all day", and had a cough as well. So we get through Wednesday, and go to bed to wake up today (Thursday), to Ryan dripping in sweat, Madi in our room because she couldnt sleep (coughing and sniffling, still with a sore throat, Katelin with something that appears to be pink eye...and Im pretty sure my simple congestion has now turned into a full blown sinus infection; since I can no longer breath at all through my nose, my gums hurt and my head is aching. So of course, all the kids are home today. Ryan had a slight fever this morning, but went to work anyway, this time sweating instead of freezing.
So how many different bugs did you count? If we havent caught it yet, theres always tomorrow.
Oh yeah...does anyone have a bubble I can put Brylee in?

That stinks. Whenever you get better and go up to the childrens museum let me know.. we should go together. I have been thinking about going there again.
We had a week like that 2 weeks ago. Sorry, it is the pits! I hope you are all feeling better and that Brylee stayed well.
Oh my goodness!!! What a crapy week. I'm so sorry it's been so rough. I kinda feel the same way with my family. Willie has been sick and so has Jonathan. And if it's not one thing it's another. Hang in there. It's bound to get better...Right?
yucky week!! I'm sure glad we didn't sit by you last night at the program. I'd love to bring Brylee over here and protect her from bugs, although I'm not sure I can protect her from boys??
Good luck!
Maybe you can get to go to the Children Museum next Tuesday and be a fun mom. At first I thought you were talking about insects. I think I counted 3 bugs maybe 4. They need to go away....
Our family will join you this week. Brian started it over the weekend. I have had someone home everyday this week and it finally hit me today. It felt like someone and punched me in the nose. But only on the left side!
:( MAN... you really did get hit with the bug! I hope everyone gets better!!!!! Hallie and Max just finished their anibiotics for strep! NOT FUN!
I am SO SORRY! I had no idea. Some visiting teacher I am. Hope the bugs get cleared out of your house soon.
