No School Today

The second day into our 'let's get back to school routine' instead finds us at home. I woke at 1:30 this morning to "Mom, I'm not feeling so well". The next three hours were some I do not wish to relive ever again. I'll spare you the details and just say I have a huge amount of laundry this morning seeing how most of my towels and blankets were ...... ahem ..... well, christened. At 4:30 this morning, I crawled back into bed after cleaning my bedroom and bathroom and spraying both down with Lysol.

Bless E's heart.Ironically, this is the first time in her sweet 8 years of life I remember her getting so sick in the middle of the night.

Just before going to bed, I froze Gatorade in ziploc bags so she would have some this morning to eat. (Does anyone else do this when your sick? It's so good and an easy way to replenish those electrolytes when you're not quite ready to drink anything. I used to keep some in the freezer for such occasions, but didn't have any last night).

Anyway, O saw E having her treat this morning and faked a stomach ache to get her own. I'm praying it doesn't turn into the real thing.

So, right now E is still a little pale and lying on the sofa reading. Please Lord, let this be an isolated incident and not spread to the rest of us.
