I haven't had a chance to blog lately, which has been KILLING me! This winter cold and flu season has been a rough one on my family. I swear for 2 weeks, the norovirus and general cold reeked havoc over my family.
First it was that horrible stomach bug. Took over my daughter first, then my son then took my husband out of commission. I hate seeing them all sick like that. I was rendered helpless while they were so sick and weak. I would have traded any of their sicknesses so they wouldn't had to experience that.
Once they finally recovered from that, a cold bug possessed them. I couldn't believe it! Their poor recovering bodies had to deal with congestion, cough and sore throats. I again, helped as much as I could providing soup, medicine, humidifiers and love to make them feel better. They only had to deal with this for a few days, but still...
Love sure is a powerful thing. I mean, when else would I get up throughout the night to be barfed on repeatedly and snuggle with said barfy person. Then offer up our bed to sleep in cause everyone knows sleeping in Mommy's bed makes all your ailments disappear. Love also makes you feel physical pain watching those you love so much in pain. I teared up watching all three of them crying to get better. It just wasn't fair.
Now, a few weeks later and a few crazy days of airing out my home and psychotically Lysol'ing my home, we are free of those awful germs. I wouldn't wish the Norovirus on my worst enemy. It's awful. Period.
Now all we need is a bit warmer weather to venture back outdoors. This time of the year is my least favorite. I miss the fresh air, sunshine and most importantly, letting my pirates be outside and playing!
Come on Mr. Groundhog...hope you're right!
