…as Scooby Doo would say. 

Lauren is one sick girl. She was sounding kinda icky before bedtime.  Now, it’s 3 a.m. and she is miserable.  She is running a fever, very congested and weak looking.  I gave her some Tylenol Cold and a mug of vanilla honey chamomile tea with extra honey to help soothe her throat.  I know she is 15 and can pretty well care for herself but I still hate it when any of my babies get sick.

I’m not feeling so spry right now either.  So I’m debating whether to stay home today or brave going to work & taking Matthew and Rachel with me.  Lauren needs to get all the rest she can get so no matter what she is NOT keeping the little kids today.

Luckily it is Friday so taking them to work won’t be too much of a crisis.  We’ll see.  If I take them to work with me I could have a blog post and a half for you tonight….two fragile x/autistic kids in a bank trust office for a 9 hour period….oh God help me!!

And we all fall down

Well half of us anyway.  Kevin is still icky.  He is home on day 2 of this gunk.  My head feels like it is ready to explode from all the congestion, and I wish it would at this point.  Lauren is obviously still ill.  I just heard Rachel in the front room coughing up a storm.  So she will be next.  Hopefully the boys stay far away from us and don’t get it.  Though I know better.  Matthew is a little duck and will get it before the weekend is over.

I did find out how it hit my family though.  One of Kevins coworkers came into work with it.  Anyone want to join me in egging his house!
