Life has definitely given us a great big bunch of lemons this week. We’ve all ended up sick… except for David, who will most likely come down with something during the week… and then proceed to complain that it’s all our fault (it is) and whine about the fact that he still has to go to work even when he’s sick because he’s the breadwinner and when he doesn’t work… we don’t pay our bills. Although… I should be getting paid for my work (yes, don’t laugh… I have work) this week so we’ll make it through even if he has to take a day or two off.
Anyway… the kids have been off for spring break all week. Turns out this was probably a blessing since I would have had at least Lauryn home all week. Praying that everyone will be well enough to go to school on Monday, because after an entire week taking care of sick people… I need alone time in a bad way.
So we’re all home-bound this weekend, trying to get better, and we’re going to make the best of a bad situation. We spent the entire morning hanging out in our bedroom… complete with kids and dogs. Surprisingly, there wasn’t any yelling or screaming or fighting. I blame it on the fact that everyone was too sick. I’m thinking of renting a bunch of movies and having a big stay-at-home-in-pajamas-all-day party. Tonight, I’ll roast a chicken, eat a little matzo and stuff everyone full of medicine. Good times.
Not exactly what I hoped our spring break would be, but it is what it is. We’ve been really lucky that none of us has been sick in about a year. I guess we were due. Come Monday, we’ll be officially counting down the next 2 months until summer vacation. Can’t come too soon for me. It’s been really nice not having to wake up early and pack school lunches. I could get used to that.
