The Saga of Sick Kids...........

This past week or so has been one long slumber party for us. Seth got sick last Tuesday and I took him to Wee Care at 1am, but it was just a virus. So, he had about 3 nights of sleeping with us since all our kids want to sleep with us when they are sick. Sasha was next to get the bug and she too, had a virus. She has missed a week of school, poor girl, and has also been sleeping in our bed. Sometimes we had Seth and Sasha in bed with us. Sometimes, Momma went on the couch! Addie is the final one to get it and she is mad that she is sick. She walks around the house all day and tells us all, "I don't feel good". As soon as Will comes in the door at night, she rushes right over to tell him "I don't feel good". Then she sniffs and wants him to hold her. It is kinda cute, actually. Our routine is we put the kids to bed and wait for one of them to come into our room, sick with a fever. I usually take them in the living room, get them some medicine, turn a cartoon on, and wait for the medicine to kick in. Then, we shuffle back to our bed and all cram in there to try and get some sleep. I can't believe Will is functioning at work will so many nights of interupted sleep. I can at least try to rest during the day. I think they are all on the mend and hope Sasha can go back to school on Monday. Seth has missed a lot of preschool, too, but he does not seem to care or even notice.

Today, sick kids and all, I hope to go get some free apples with a friend of mine so I can make and can some applesauce. I love free apples or produce of any kind. Wahoo.
