If only I could call in sick. I can't remember the last time I was this sick....Hmmm...Before I had kids and could really appreciate sick pay. To top the week off right, the kids are sick too. Aside from four trips to the pharmacy and one trip to Violet's school, we haven't left the house in 5 days. I think I might be going insane...Is there a home test for that?
Tonight while we were waiting for half of our prescription (what kind of a pharmacy runs out of liquid antibiotics in the middle of winter?), Violet moans "I just want to know about mummies". Huh? Where did this come from? No more Reading Rainbow. Then she asks if "mummies eat if someone helps them?" Before I can answer, she starts crying "don't they know how sick I am? I feel horrible." We were in the drive thru lane waiting and waiting and waiting. I thought "drive thru" meant faster than going in...And they wouldn't even get me a bag of cough drops. I know they heard Violet coughing up her lung.
Bigweld has been asking and answering questions repetitively. "Mama, where goin', mama?" "Mama, goin' crazy." That's right, baby. While I was trying to find something they would eat tonight, he found a cube of butter and rubbed it all over the refrigerator. I wonder how long it takes for butter to go away....It adds a shiny luster....I put him to bed, in the same bed, in the same room he's had for 2+ yrs and he ripped the airplane border off the wall. I'm not even angry, I think just go to sleep and let me be sick all by myself for a few hours.
And then there's Herbie. He found a pair of training underwear with cars on them. He is insisting on wearing them. Right now, he has them on over his pajamas so he can see the cars. I wish he would just potty train and then he could wear "dry skivvies" all of the time. Poor guy, he just wants to go to sleep but his brother keeps screaming something about a puppy (we don't even have a puppy).
I have been reduced to watching Barney AND singing along. And, a couple of hours ago I caught myself wiping MY nose on my shirt....Maybe I'm so sick I'm just hallucinating...

May there be healing in your house starting right now. How sweetly and cleverly you write in the midst of such affliction! Prayers & love.
See if you can guess.
