My
son has been extremely sick with the flu or flu-like illness since Friday. My
daughter finished her antibiotics for strep on Friday only to have a slight fever
and 24-hour stomach bug starting yesterday afternoon. Just when that seemed to
be resolving itself, she spiked a high fever and is in bed with the flu.
Apparently we are sampling all of the lovelies being passed around school. Awesome.
Have I mentioned how much I loathe the numerous springs we have had this fall?
BRING ON THE FREEZE ALREADY!!!!
Fevers
freak me out. Especially ones that make my babies cry in pain. We are only at
the beginning of what I’m guessing will be 48-72 hours of fever for my baby
girl. (That’s how long it took for my son.)
Add
to my freak-out the fact that it’s holiday party week at school… and I’m in
charge of one party and have the party favors for the other one at my house.
Hello OCD nightmare.
Of
course, as I’m freaking out, I’m also beating myself of with guilt because at
least we don’t live in Connecticut… my babies may be super-sick, but they are
super-here. So I am desperately trying not
to be desperate. I AM a problem-solver. Now let’s solve the problem.
The
solution: both kids are staying home tomorrow no matter what. No one wants us
to give them this for Christmas. I’ve
emailed the other room mom in my daughter’s class to see how I can get the
goods to her. And on Wednesday, Pa will watch whichever sickies are quarantined
to our house. Adam, my mom and I will go to my son’s school and throw a
spectacular Holiday Party for his class. And if my son can’t be there, we will
have another spectacular Holiday party at my house when we get home. Problems
solved.
I’m
telling you this to remind you that there ARE options. Even when things look
bleak and aren’t turning out the way you planned, there are ways to make it
work. Good thing I’ve been practicing being uncomfortable this year… now to
work on not being so whiny ;)
