~ What the Hell Wednesday ~

This is a little different than a usual WTHW but it's what's on my mind.


This week is spring break for the kids.  Chris is working all week either at the firehouse or at his office but since Lauren is suddenly awesome! and easy! and a phenomenal listener! I had plans to take all three kids to some fun new places.  On my week's agenda was: the Children's Museum in Sacramento, sledding up in Strawberry, taking BART to San Francisco for lunch, and getting together with different friends. 


Instead, this is how our week has turned out:

Day 2 of The Fever

Day 1 of The Fever

There are no other symptoms, just a body that is on fire and body aches.  Naturally I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop and see who is next.  Either it'll be Lauren or me.  Chris is in the clear I think since he hasn't been home.  It's one of the beauties of having multiple kids.  It spreads to everyone usually a day apart so you're down and out for a good week. 

Sooo...  what the hell?  It's spring break!  We had plans!  Fun places to go!  Traveling!  Instead we're home - the sickies eating Ritz crackers and Motrin and the healthy ones are held hostage.  The amount of television and stupid cartoons has exceeded a healthy limit for sure. 

Hate that they're sick.  Hate that we're stuck at home.  Hate that our opportunity for some fun times together is replaced with a marathon of Phineas and Ferb under a blanket on the couch. 

What the hell!
