I am finished with having sick children. For 2 and half months straight I have had sick children ranging from one being sick or all three at the same time and I am done with it. And they are not mild sicknesses they are long lasting and my poor kids keep getting hit one right after another. I'm deeply upset right now because when a friend needed me the most I wasn't able to help her out and I feel horrible. I know you can't control having your kids sick but I'm tired of having to cancel everything, being unreliable, having to back out of things because sickness is just looming in our household, tired of cleaning up throw up and whatever other bodily fluid you can think of. This is going to sound selfish but I have had to put life on hold and I have no control over it whatsoever. I need the illness to stop and I need it to stop now. I need my kids to be healthy, happy, smiling and fighting with each other again. My kids have not left their sick beds since Monday night and the worry is awful. They are doing a little better just for the fact that I can at least be more than 2 feet away from them and know that they'll be okay for a little while. This is me complaining and venting because I can not stop thinking that I let my friend down and wondering if this vicious cycle is going to end. The hand steamer and the lysol are coming out in full force today. I'll probably regret venting like this later but this is how I'm feeling right at the moment. I know things can get or could be worse just give me some time to get over myself and I'll move on from here.

I am going off of your comment on my blog so I hope I don't sound selfish in thinking the friend you are referring to is me. I want you to know that just knowing you would be willing to do anything for me was enough. Asking me how I was doing, thinking about our family and our new addition all these things were more help then you think. You are a great friend and I know that you would do anything to help us out. Right now you need to focus on your family and getting your kiddos sick. I say after all the craziness dies down our husbands owe us a Goodwood BBQ night. Thanks again for all your thoughts and concerns I am blessed to have you as a friend.
I feel you pain. We were all sick over Christmas, starting Christmas morning. :P So I will commiserate with you ... cleaning up puke is NEVER fun. I'm sorry your kiddo's seem to be in this cycle. I decided a long time ago that I would rather seer my lungs with bleach fumes than think about any germ hanging out in my house that isn't supposed to be there. Your in my prayers. Hang in their momma!
Lots of hugs!
don't feel horrible, you didn't let anyone down. we all have kids and the sickness comes when it comes. i feel bad for waking you up that morning. i'm glad you were so willing to help me out in the first place.
Hello again! :) I'm so sorry you guys have been feeling so sick - either physically under the weather or sick and tired of everyone BEING sick and tired. I hear you! Even including missed commitments that make you feel like a total heel, because life isn't supposed to get in the way, right? ... :(
Hope everyone's feeling at least a bit better by now, and that you've managed to get out and have a break! Hugs!!!
