Sickly Monday
I have 4 kids home today. Every one of them with a fever somewhere around 100-102. At least Jonner quit barfing.
They're sick enough to be home and whining, but only Bunny is sick enough to sleep the day away.
I put them to work, mean mommy that I am. I've folded 3 loads of laundry and washed two more.
They had to hang up the hangers as I filled them. And during that brief period when they all felt good enough to pick at each other, I exhausted them by having them pick up in their rooms (all of 10 minutes while I loaded the washer). They're much better when they're wiped out enough to be listless. They whine less.
I think we'll have a movie while I fold the next load.
3 loads folded
2 washed, soon to be 3
Dishes done
lunch eaten
Yeah, I think we can spare a few minutes before we hit the cleaning again.
(they're drooping all over the futon with that wilted look sick kids get)
I'll see if there's interest in more ale (apple juice done 1:1 with gingerale)
