The bad place

Have you been there lately, the bad place? You know the one ... It's all fevers, rhea, vomit, Gatorade, laundry, ibuprofen, Motrin, Tylenol.
And then it's like, "sure watch 3 more hours of tv! You wanna play video games for another 45 minutes, sure!" You find yourself offering up absolutely anything the little sickie wants to eat...ie: milkshake, popsicle, sprite, Gatorade, toast, crackers, more toast, and more crackers!

This is where I am. You can't call me. You can't write me. You certainly can't visit me - here...in the bad place.

I'm not trying to say that my life is hard...there are lots of you with more kids, and therefore A LOT more sickness (shout out to you Santa Claritians, who have a propensity to all things viral). I'm just saying I'm on my second bottle of Lysol...

Does anyone know of a good detox program for kids who have done nothing but watch TV and play video games?








If you're wondering why I have so much time to blog....it's cause my kids are watching another show!

Yes, it's called permissive parenting. Pretty sure it's biblical too. And thank you for not taking me to that dark place with you this time around. It doesn't look that fun. See you in 6 to 8 weeks.

On Sam's "bad" day, he laid in his bed, and started at a blank wall or slept. We offered him books and movies on Daddy's ipod, and he turned us down, he preferred the quiet wall. That's when you know they are SICK SICK SICK. I'm sorry you are there yet again. But, Zach is cute, even sick.

We've been there too! This is the first flu season I've thought about hiding out and being a hermit until it's over. So sorry for you and you sweet boys!
