vapour rub that is….
When i was pregnant i had a thing for it and loved the smell. Now, obviously, not so much. But tonight, once again, i am surrounded by the smell…
because this little fella has been hit by the sick bug…
shivery, fever, chills and feeling lousy. Its not great timing, its his birthday on Monday, his party on Sunday and we have visitors over the weekend…..so i am just praying and praying and praying that he improves before sunday and can be part of his party. Poor boy. He has slept in our bed for the past two nights, which is not exactly a joyously comfortable situation. But its no fun feeling lousy by yourself. Not that of course feeling lousy is any kind of 'fun' however many people there are…..
My infection control measures have stepped up. We have drilled the kids (the well ones) and tried to convince Isaac to give Matilda a wide birth at the moment. Just trying the best we can to minimise the effects. We dont know if it is flu of the 'pig' variety, We know it is 'around these parts' so it could be.
For now, he is okay though and, i think, liking the fact that he got to play a good few hours on the wii today. He said to me on the way home from picking up Maisie at school..'mummy, when im ill you say yes to whatever i ask!'
Pretty cheeky but probably fairly accurate. I dont like my kids being sick. It causes me a nearly permenant state of anxiety. It eases when i start to see some signs of recovery. I like to be on the way out of the valley than on the way in…y'know?
At the moment im not sure whereabouts we are…he seems worse this evening and has developed the chills. So we may still be on the way in. poo…
