Things have been insane for the last week... I was scheduled to work 11-12 hour days all week last week... Sadly I was unable to fulfill my commitments with work... The kids fell victim to the latest stomach bug/flu going around...
I was sad that I was unable to work for such an extended period of time and that the kids were so sick... I was looking forward to putting my recent training for new skills to the test... Then the great hours for a part time job would have been nice...
They are still fighting it... Their fevers go up and down, as well as their appetites and energy levels... My heart has broken seeing them so sick and now I am sick too... I finally gave up on my constant cleaning... When the first one came down with it, I never moved without a Clorox wipe in one hand... I wiped everything down and took every precaution to avoid anyone else getting sick... She missed Valentine's Day with her classmates, but he wasn't sick yet... I didn't get a chance to get out and do anything too special for them, like I usually do... They both got a balloon and card though and a little bit of candy... Too bad they haven't been able to eat it yet...
She is eating again THANK GOD!!! He is sleeping for now, but will wake up shaking from the fever in a bit I'm sure... Bless the cable company for having toddler cartoons on all night long!!!
So to all my fellow Gatherers, I am sorry I have been away and will continue to be absent for quite a bit of this week as I have to make up for the work I missed last week and fight this illness... I will get to you all as soon as I can!!!
