contagious birds

We got a call yesterday morning from the school- "Brenda threw up."

Mike picked her up and she was comforted with a popsicle and Star Wars.

A few hours later the school called- "Garret's sick."

Garret was nestled with PJs, and Toy Story.  (He doesn't like popsicles.)

And while I did get a few things done (mowing, dishes, mounds of laundry, de-scarifying under Brenda's bed...) my main duties were puke clean-up, and discovering the fascination with "Angry Birds".  You know, that game everybody's got on their cell phone?  (What a fabulous waste of time that is...)  Thankfully Brenda figured out how to run to the garbage can when her stomach started to rumble.  And Garret just stayed in bed so we just kept the sheets and pillows going through the washing machine. 

They shlumped.  I shlumped.  We all shlumped.  And by evening we were all clean, warm, comfy and relaxed.  All done with the ickies.

So the kids are home today for recovery.  Hopefully no more puke clean-up and FOR THE LOVE OF PETE, don't let me start that game up again.  Those birds just keep coming!

I hope you all feel better quickly. I hate it when the sicknesses linger into these months. We had SNOW this morning, blah! Cameron loves Angry Birds!!

I HATE the ripple effect of one kid being sick. Hang in there, hopefully it's all done...hopefully...

Nothing is worse than sick pukey kids! We had our round of it two weeks ago, Aaron was kind enough to not even bother getting out of bed a puking from his top bunk onto our nice new carpet! I hope things are over for you!

No fun! The girls were puking two weeks ago, Mother's Day weekend. I hate it when they are so sick. Glad you are all on the mend. Never played angry birds but I hear it's fun.

I'm scared to try Angry Birds because I've heard of its addictiveness. I'm already addicted to Scramble, I don't need another addiction. Sorry about the sickies! I was cleaning up dog puke all day yesterday so I can kind of relate. So not fun!

Not fun--glad it ended rather quickly. And how's that sunburn?!
