Sick Days
Sunday morning - 8am - 5 year old not himself. Laying in bed with me and looking glassy eyed. Husband heads off to church with the two year old while I cuddle with the 5 year old at home. Nice relaxing day.
Monday morning - 5 year old is still feverish and very sick so he gets to spend the day watching movies. Two year old, of course, feels that she should watch movies along with him.
Monday afternoon - 1pm - Both take huge afternoon naps. I clean the bathrooms, clean the refrigerator, clean some kitchen drawers, and finish a novel. I haven't gotten this much done since I started homeschooling.
Tuesday moring - 9 am - 5 year old is feeling better but the two year old looks a bit off. We do some homeschooling and go to vote but stay close to home due to the two year old.
Tuesday evening - 9pm - Sounds like a seal has moved into the 2 year old's bedroom. Investigate and discover that 2 year old has the croup. Find vaporizer.
Wednesday morning - 8:30am - Both children sleep in until 8:30am. This has never happened before. 5 year old is completely back to normal but the two year old is still barking like a seal. We have to cancel a playdate, and I miss Women's Bible Study again.
Wednesday morning - 11:30am - Feeling a bit confined. Try to call several friends to make contact with the outside world but none are available. They all must have healthy kids and freedom to leave the house. At this point, I am beginning to feel a bit stir crazy and actually look forward to letting the dog out in the backyard.
Wednesday afternoon - 3:00pm - Begin to think about Americans in the 1800s who lived through long winters in one room log cabins. Not sure how they survived.
Wednesday evening - 7:00pm - Get to leave the house to tutor a student in Geometry. I have never looked more forward to Geometry.
Wednesday evening - 11:00pm - All is quiet. No barking seal. Could the worst be over? It's almost too much to hope for.
