The dreaded gut bug!

It never fails to happen, just when you are the most stressed out and have the most to do it hits, the dreaded gut bug.  It usually shows up most frequently in the winter after you and the kids have been to a hot springs or a pool that uses something  besides chlorine to kill the bugs.

 It hit us 3days after going to the pool at our gym, and it got my son first who then proceeded to throw up on me three times and on our couch twice. It was good times let me tell you.  So after taking a decontamination shower and cleaning up my son and my couch, we dose him with motrin for a low grade fever and put him in bed.  My daughter got the plague two days later, and vomited for two hours before the phenergan I gave her kicked in and she passed out for the next 6hrs. 
Now I am just waiting for my turn.  My son feels better, and my daughter feels better, and they are now both behaving.  Because it is kid law that when one kid is vomiting up their toenails and mom is trying to take care of that kiddo, that the other kiddo must turn into a demon spawn.  My kids obeyed that law to the letter while they were sick.

 Today now that everyone is on the mend I am trying to clean up my house because God forbid my husband do any cleaning on his days off while I am at work.  I really shouldn't be so hard on him, because he does do a little bit, but it always feels like he should be doing more, man is he screwed.  I think that if I ever find some extra money that I am going to have a person come in and clean my house at least twice a month.  This might help my stress level, which is off the charts lately.  Why is this?  Well my husband has not really been around for about a month, because of business trips, trainings, and when he is home on the weekends I am at work.  I think that we are due for a date night somewhere maybe .
