On the mend

Besides being a little cranky on & off & still a little extra tired... the kids are pretty much back to normal.  Playing & eating {to their normal extent.}

I finally crashed last night & slept a solid number of puke-less hours & awoke feeling 50% better.  Around 1 today I finally was able to eat something.  And besides the fact that my body feels like it just finished running a marathon (tired & oh so achy)... I'm on the up & up.  I've got enough energy to do things in about 15 minute spurts, then I have to sit down & rest.  But I'm hoping by tomorrow I'm back to feeling like myself. 

I know people say "Mommies don't get sick days."  But friends, today I am so thankful that so far Jeff has not gotten this.  He just had a throbbing headache for 2 days & was able to man-handle the kids yesterday so I could have a sick day.  Last year when we had the diarrahea & upper respiratory flu.  When the kids couldn't crawl out of the living room when I used the ottoman to block them in.  That flu I mastered, a sick me & 3 sick 1 year olds.  1 1/2 weeks worth of me being sick.  But this flu... there was no way I could have done this alone. 

Sometime next year, we'll get the house caught up from this.  The laundry.  The carpets.  The crackers smashed in every which corner.  We're at least getting healthy... but we're a mess!
