Fun Games at Midnight......

Luckily I was already awake, as I was about to start playing a midnight game of 'Guess who's Vomiting'!!! YAY for me!! lol!

Nothing like a mad dash down the hall to catch the kid mid-spew so that I didn't have to turn on the lights of the other sleeping kids and also wake them up!!

As it turned out it was Braith, and at his age spewing is no fun as he ends up crying louder and louder as I undress him and clean up his cot. Then its a mad dash to get Kaydence back into bed as she has woken up to Braith's noise and also has the sooks on!

So after a dose of Panadole and an hours worth of playing, rocking and walking back and forth I've managed to lay him down and pat him back to sleep. I was crossing all fingers and toes that he was actually asleep as he likes to play possum and pretend hes sleeping, until I stop patting and then he pops his little head up to see if I'm still there and howls when I try to sneak away!! But tonight was my lucky night, he fell asleep easily :)

Fingers crossed no one else comes down with the vomits, I've already had Livia and Aliya sick over the weekend.

Great start to our 2nd week of homeschooling, I'm thinking there will be a late start tomorrow for me, but at least the older kids will be able to start on some of their independent work.

The flu is here!!

I tried beating it with super green juices - blueberries, spinach, orange juice and banana. Looks delish here....

Until you blend it! But it still tastes nice!!

Then a lovely friend Melissa braved the possibility of getting the flu herself and made (and deliverd) 'sick soup', a suck in your cheeks kinda experience that I thought would fling the flu right out of me!! And while it made me feel great (hey my throat stopped hurting for awhile afterwards and I had energy to sort the kids out) I still stayed sick. I ate the whole pot! It actually was my kinda soup, will have to get the reciepe!




And I felt very spoilt and loved when Melissa alsomade a quiche for the family's dinner!! I know you may come across this post Melissa and I want you to know that I really appreciate your kindness!! oxox I can't wait to return the favour! (flu free that is!)

So its now been 5 days of flu (and we don't often get laid up this long with the flu) with Myself and Mike, Braith, Kaydence getting a good dose of it (Mike is better already lucky bugger!) and the bigger kids seem to be getting a touch of it. I now have a sinus thing happening, runny nose watering eyes, stuffy head! U name it seems I will have it! Fingers crossed it passes soon and we don't get sick again for a long long while!!

My Sister in Law gave me the flu!!

I'm very sure it was her cause she has been sick a few weeks ago with the same symptoms!!! and I speak with her practically everyday!! and now I've been sick with the flu for over a week!! boo hoo!!

I don't care if there is 7 hrs drive between us, I'm still convinced it was her!! lol!!

Sorry Taren but I totally love this photo of you!! plus I don't have many of you cause ur always behind the camera not in front of it!
