My sickness was/is the "norovirus" cold-like, flu-like symptoms -- CHECK. Hoping that my kids don't get it. After today I could not bear to have them home another day before Saturday!!!!!!!!! I do love them, but they are exhausting. They fight and whine and demand and I wonder who spawned these babies!!!
I grew up on a farm. In a snowstorm - let's take the Blizzard of '78 - my brother and I had to walk through the path in the woods with water for the animals (the power was out down at the Barn b/c of the storm). My father worked for the power company and was called out; the responsibility was ours at the ripe old age of 11 and 9. We each carried 2 gallon jugs; the snow was up to our waists. It was dark. What was my mother thinking? Evidently we were responsible and capable. My daughter was too tired to clean up her room today and lied about cleaning off the van. My little one cried and fitted b/c I wouldn't let her put the TV on. They both HATED ME. I don't think I have ever said that to my mother - not even under my breath. I guess I need to do better.

Hope you are feeling better and dont get sick anymore! Kids... omg they turn us grey and kill us faster. My son pulled the hate card too. Dont take it too personally. Kids these days are more brazen. But they don't mean it. {{hugs}}
Thanks for visiting Lyn! I am feeling better too!
