Ugh.

I don't know what is in the air but whatever it is it  does not like us.

Or maybe it likes us too much?

My family has been sick.

 Sick. Sick. Sick.

So far, in 2014, we have logged more sick days than healthy.

I do  not think we have ever been this sick, this long or this often.

Over Christmas everyone had a nasty respiratory flu.

In fact, my poor 7 year old (who is not exactly a calm child) was so sick on Christmas morning, that he just sat there with glassy eyes while we opened presents.

It was SO sad!

All told we were sick about a week & half with that.

Then barely 2 weeks later we had a lovely stomach virus. And my husband ~ who never ever actually throws up~ was throwing up.

We got thru that only to have ~ 2 weeks later~ another stomach virus  go thru 5 out of 6 members of our household.

And I, alone, escaped.

I spent a solid week tending sickies. Washing carpet & walls & PJs & blankets. Dumping puke buckets. (By weeks end my 5 yr old's bucket even had a name. Sigh.) Fetching water & yogurt & pushing charcoal & probiotics.

And doing all of the cleaning, feeding, milking, laundry, maintenance & whatever needed doing, I did it.

Boy, was I glad when my kids took their chores back!

It is safe to say that I am so sick of puke I could...well...puke.

But it seems that we are finally FINALLY finally on the mend & it is my fervent prayer that we will STAY that way.

For more than 2 weeks this time please...

Blessings.
