My son has had the stomach flu since 4am on Sunday, and now my daughter has it as well. I think I've been vomited on at least 10 times since Sunday. I've somehow managed to not get sick myself, but I smell terrible and my house is a disaster. My son wants to constantly be held-- and showers have become basically impossible. Don't even get me started on dishes.
I'm just praying that my husband doesn't get sick. That will just the cherry to top this -vomit-filled-week-sunday. Also, that they both feel better by Halloween! Because to miss Halloween when you're a kid is just WRONG. (And not fair to Mom, who would like to grub on all the free candy.)
On a more positive note, Friday is the first day of NaNoWriMo and I'm getting pretty excited for it! I have never been a NaNo winner, so that's embarrassing. But, it will make it that much cooler if I am this year!
I have no writing buddies as of yet- so if you're participating: ADD ME! My user name is aziadupont -- super creative, right? ( I hate picking user names, what can I say?) I'll need all the encouragement I can get. I haven't been able to find the writing+Mom life balance that so many other author's have seemed to master. I NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
Also happening in November: my beautiful first born turns 6! I can't believe it! Also, DirtyChai's first issue will be available to the masses! And- it's Thanksgiving! I love to cook so I'm excited! Hopefully November will start with a bang (and be flu-less!). Here's to positive thoughts!
I just decided to do it again. I must be crazy. Just added you as a buddy. I'm Vive_le_Nerd.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I hope your family is feeling better! Stomach bugs are never any fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to do NaNo again as well--I've only won once, but I keep coming back every year! (Isn't that the definition of insanity? Never mind...) Off to add you to my buddy list! :)
A couple of mine have been sick, too, but not THAT sick. Poor you!
ReplyDeleteFrom one mom to another...baby wipes work well in a pinch as a bath substitute. Had to resort to that a few times when my twins were little. :P
Good luck with NaNo! :D
I'm gonna NaNoWriMo, too, even though it's a REALLY dumb idea (I have no outline and no character development yet. WHEEEEE!) I'm Liz Blocker over there, too :) I'll add you!!
