Maybe?

I think, I think, {dare I even say it}.... maybe we are on the other side? 

Fair day Monday {after the last 6am puke-fest.}  Crabby.  But fair.  They have been sleeping A LOT!  By a lot I mean not taking their normal 1 2 hour nap, but rather 2 2-2.5 hour naps.  And still sleeping 12 hours at night.... sleeping alot.  This was brutal on them!!  Outside of sleeping, we pretty much are lounging & watching TV.  {Our TV watching is out of control!!  But what else do you "do" when you are sick??  Might be a difficult post-flu habit to break!?}

I felt like crap again Monday morning.  Absolute crap.  But after a nice, long late morning nap.  And some delicious, hit the spot, love my husband for making them at my request, mashed potatoes for supper... I'm feeling like by this time Tuesday, I may be a new woman.  Hopefully!! 

Because Grandma GG & a very prego Aunt Molly can NOT get this & because I don't think I'm up for 12 hours on my feet quite yet, I did infact resort to taking another sick day over this darn flu.  Which apparently comes with an aftershock {ahem, boys}... and has thus ruined nearly a whole week!  I'm hoping for a nice Tuesday, with a nice nap for all of us & some house scrubbing in my "energized" spurts inbetween.

Luckily Monday was Jeff's fall break (yeah a whopping one day thank you LPS) which we had hoped to spend at the pumpkin patch... thank.you.very.much.flu!  So I didn't have to go it alone yet Monday.  But instead of pumpkins & fun, we got some more much needed rest, Jeff tried to catch up on school work & I got a little housework done.  Literally scrubbed some walls inbetween naps & after the kids went to bed type housework.  {Which reminded me of how badly my kitchen & all the woodwork in our house needs a paint touch-up, compliments 3 toddlers who slam everything into everything.}

As I was sorting through laundry Monday evening (oh laundry) I remembered one horrible, yet funny event that occurred in the midst of all this puke.  It had to of been on Thursday afternoon-evening when Jeff went to class.  Because I know I was home alone with the kids.  I don't know if I somehow changed one boys diaper twice.  Or if I forgot Livi all together.  Or if she finally just had peed a bunch or what happened.  (We were on a diaper count for dehydration around here this week, so I really don't know how this happened!)  But apparently her diaper was overloaded with pee.  And as she was sitting down to finally eat come crackers, she decided to sit right on the edge of her booster seat.  Which somehow wrung out her diaper like a wet rag!  Pee dripping everywhere.  Dripping down the chair to a puddle on the floor.  Really?  How did I forget until today when I pulled the booster seat buckles out of the wash that that had happened?  Was I that delirious already on Thursday?  How did that even happen?  And what great timing? 

Oh its been a long week....
