*Last week Sick was away for work and I stayed home with the kids. It wasn't too bad. By the end we were all cranky and needing a break, but nothing major.
*Night before Sick was to come home I came down with a cold. Nothing huge at that point, but it's gotten progressively worse. My throat's swollen from coughing so hard. No cough medicine on the market has yet to be able to get rid of it, only slightly diminish. That's fine so long as the kids were healthy, right?
*Sunday Ashe came down with a fever. Monday he developed a rash. Tuesday he was diagnosed with Hand foot and mouth disease, a common childhood illness. Think chicken pox, but the rash isnt itchy. We've been quarrentined since Sunday and will be so until at least Tuesday. The virus lasts 7-10 days. I worked really hard trying to keep Zavi from Ashe, Lysoling and Purelling the fuck out of everything and everyone, so he wouldnt get it. Andit's been pretty much all on me, as Sick is working two jobs, getting ready to transfer to his own new company. He's been working his *** off, and cant really help me with the kids too much. Understandable but the past couple days I'm getting to the point where I just need that break.
*Today Zavi gets home from school, fine and dany. Within one hour he's lethargic, and whimpering. I check his head and he's burning up. up to bed I carry him, Motrin on hand, thinking to myself fuck fuck fuck!
So now it looks like we're stuck home bound for another 7-10 days when I thought I was just starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. And I get to deal with 2 sick and grumpy kids on my own. I need to get out and just beat the crap out of someone. It might make me feel better.
