Sickos

We got hit with 2 sick bugs 2 weeks apart. First we got the stomach flu. I tried so hard to keep it from spreading, but everyone but Coleman got it. I don't know why I can't keep sicknesses from spreading.

The next sickness we got was kind of a weird one. It started out with a high fever, which went down after a couple days and you'd think you were getting better, then the next day you'd be sick again and a cough came with a fever again. Nothing really hurt. You just had no energy and wanted to lay around and do nothing, which works when you're 5, 3, and 7 months. But not when you're the mom of those kids and another girl and you're trying to pack for a week long vacation.

This was the day we thought Jack was getting better before he got a fever again. He missed the whole week of school. And then he missed the whole next week.

Jordan on his first day of sickness. Doesn't he look miserable? Usually nothing keeps him down. Even when he had the flu he was still acting mostly normal. I think he was kind of loving the fact that he was in control of what they watched. When Doug came home he told him "I'm the sick one now. "

I went up stairs to feed Coleman and put him down for a nap and was upstairs for maybe a half hour. I came downstairs and both boys were sleeping. They ended up sleeping for almost 2 hours. This pretty much never happens. Especially with Jordan.

Coleman got it next. I also was sick, but never was as bad and the boys. We're not sure if Kenzie and Doug got it. They both got a little sick, but were never really that bad. All this sickness made for a fun start to our vacation...
