Sick Day


Sick eyes...sad lip.


Yes, we're having yet another sick day here at Casa de Crazy.  Matt has gotten Hailey's disgusting cough-y, snotty, unable to sleep through the night sickness and it's KILLING US!!!  

(oh, and I feel bad for him too)

We haven't slept through the night in a couple of weeks.  We didn't know how spoiled we'd become.

So, today we'll skip yoga.  We'll skip our errands.  We'll skip our whole routine (except getting dressed...he insisted on getting dressed probably because he sweat through his jammies all night long). 

We'll watch movies.  Eat "fruit salad."  Eat ice pops (if they finish their fruit salad).  We'll play games.  We'll just hang out.

Believe it or not, we rarely do that.  As you know, I'm a huge proponent of getting out every day, but I just think he needs a day...and there's nothing wrong with that.

It's days like this that make me wonder what I'll do when they get a bit older and these Sick Days are taking place on school days.  Will I make them go to school because it's of paramount importance?  Or will I give in and let them have a day to regroup?  While I want them to believe the school attendance is vital, I also want to give them what they need as children, rather than just academics.

Hmmmm...the things you ponder on a sick day.

The one thing that we will do today is make it to Matt's haircut appointment.  It was originally supposed to be on Friday, but I COMPLETELY FORGOT!!!  In case you don't know me very well, I never forget appointments, but I just did.  I guess between bringing Hailey to the doctor that morning and trying to get her stabilized, it just fell through the huge gaping crack in my brain!

I'm pretty sure that crack grows larger with every sleepless night.

Anyway, I'm sure there is plenty that I could get done around here, but I think I'll start with a shower...God knows I could use a shower.

It's raining today too.  Who doesn't want to play hooky on a rainy day?  It's the best!  The Crazies are snuggled up under blankets watching Tangled and life is pretty good.

Holy shit...this is a boring post.

I'll go now.  Hope you're all doing well...sorry for the lack of posting/commenting/participating in life in general.  I just can't wait until everyone is better and I can maintain our normal routine again.  I love routine.

Sorry the sickies have invaded again! Hope everyone is well soon. It's rainy here too, and a quiet day at home would be so awesome today.

I love Tangled, but I can only convince the girls to watch it every couple of weeks. They were watching Heidi on Netflix when I left this morning... ??? Kids are strange!

Ugh, we're dealing with sickness too. (Well now it finally hit the parentals, the girls both went to school today for the 1st time in two weeks) Least we learned who tolerates it better between the two of them.

We are having a sick day too, only I am sick as well. I hope Matt feels better soon. We have a cough/cold too, really makes sleeping fun doesn't it?

Sick days are the worst---although, as you mentioned, I guess today was kind of ideal in terms of weather!

Hope he's feeling like himself soon!

We had that awful Sick here too. I hope you all enjoyed your day of just hanging out. It is necessary once in a while!

IT IS EVERYWHERE

Even my parents went to the doctor today for antibiotics. My father NEVER goes to the doctor.

Its bad

Prayers and wine and NyQuil headed your way (well, the prayers anyway cause I really don't know your address. But if I did, I'd send wine and NyQuil shots)

Just when we get them to stay in their rooms and sleep again they have to get sick and ruin all our hard work.

Sorry to hear they are sick, I hope it ends quickly.

Sickness be gone! You all need a break!

Hope a couple low key days are the ticket to healthy days ahead!
