Oooohhhhh the sicknessssss.....

So for the past few days we have all been SICK!!!!! And I'm not just talking don't feel well, I'm talking complete congestion, utter muscle aches, severe nausea, extreme fevers etc. etc. etc. I thought we were all going to die (and almost wished I would have because that would have ended the pain and suffering). And can I just tell you that it SUCKS to be sick when you have a kid. I never realized before how draining it is to take care of someone else, who isn't feeling well, when you yourself can barely get out of bed!

Today I thought for sure I was going to pop between being up all night with Xander, Jared, and not to mention my own ailments. Jared and I have taken turns sleeping and watching Xander in two hour shifts. I sleep and Jared takes Xander. Jared sleeps and I take Xander. And in the rare moment Xander sleeps we all sleep.

I usually am ok with being sick, but this has lasted THREE DAYS!!! If it lasts many more I swear I am going to pass out! I have just sat at my computer and scrapbooked (that is why there are so many pages lately, it is something I can do without moving a muscle and while watching Xander).

Anyhow enough of my complaining, my point is we are sick and it sucks and I hope we get better soon!

P.S. Jared is ticked because it is his three day weekend and he can't even do anything...

Sorry that you guys are not feeling good. Spencer has got the flu too. His baby sitter's daughter had it on Wednesday and she sent Spencer home early to hopefully help him not get it. No such luck. He is not feeling good. I hope he does sleep tonight because the poor thing is so tired.

I hope you all are feeling better soon.

Sorry that you aren't feeling well, all of you. I has been going around. We went down to Oregon and Christmas Eve Eve we had to take
Taylar to the hospital with croup. It made Christmas and spending time with family just great. And then we all had something when we got home. Get better

It stinks being sick! I know how you feel, everyone over here is starting to get sick (after over 24 hours of having no power :S) and it's exhausting! I hope you all feel better soon.

OK you guys! How in the world did you give it to us? We're all sick now too-and we didn't get it until after we talked to you on the phone! That is one contagious bug!
