My week, since last Saturday:
Saturday, Feb 5: M sick with fever, congestion. Clingy, whiney, little sleep.
Sunday, Feb 6: M still sick with fever, congestion. Only slightly less clingy, whiney.
Monday, Feb 7: N begins to develop congestion.
Tuesday, Feb 8: D and I begin to develop congestion & run-down feeling.
Wednesday, Feb 9: M begins with croupy cough. D and I continue to feel run-down, congested, sickish feeling. N begins with cough.
Thursday, Feb 10: Called flooring store to get less than year-old hardwood floored replaced. Looking at over $250 in repair costs.
More of the same regarding illness, except N begins feeling draggy, chilled in the evening. Fever during the middle of the night.
I went to bed at 8:30 because being awake is just too much of a downer.
Friday, Feb 11: N has 101 degree fever upon waking, so off to clinic we go. Rapid strep test negative. Culture gonna grow for a few days. All indications are new virus on top of old virus that began earlier in the week. D and I still congested and run down feeling after each child woke us up at least twice during the night or wee morning hours.
Homeownership and parenting are sometimes way overrated.

Notice water leaking from kitchen cabinet. Open cabinet door to find never opened gallon of distilled water only a quarter full. Leak in jug has caused water to drip into cabinet, out of door, onto my less than a year-old hardwood floor and into spongy rug which sat for who knows how long on less than a year-old hardwood floor resulting in WARPED FLOOR. Approximately 2x5 foot area.
Someone just kill me now.

Ugh! Sorry Carrie! That sounds terrible. The floor thing would be bad enough by itself, but with a house full of sick people? I would be tempted to pack my bags and drive off in the middle of the night. (Okay, not REALLY but that's really a terrible week.)
We're expecting a big thaw this weekend - maybe a change in weather will help get rid of all the illness?
