I have “the sick” that will not go away. This has come with two blessings. So far, knock on wood, my kids remain sick free, and two I have lost 3 pounds.
My fabulous flu insert layer of sarcasm has afforded my kids the opportunity to learn some new things this week, the hard way.
->Yes the bagel is not toasted enough after one “round” through the toaster. The lesson, two rounds through equals burnt bagel….one and half, just right.
->Yes, they really can make their own lunches, but even with me green to the gills I will be making sure it contains more fruit then junk. Good try little ladies.
->Shockingly, laundry does not do itself! You can’t find socks? Turns out there is no laundry fairy. Mom does that stuff. Huh.
->If you stick your finger too far up your nose and pick, it will bleed. Like, a lot. (Not so much sick related, but one of them learned this the hard way this week..I won’t say which one)
->My kids have figured out how to manipulate me. Yes, when I am lying on the couch, I can be convinced that since they emptied the dishwasher they deserve 2 Girl Guide Cookies. That is rookie Mom stuff, we all know if they want two cookies they have to sweep the floor too!
I better get better soon before these kids figure out how to take over the world!
lol.. hate that your sick… sending well wishes your way!!
Hope you feel better soon!!! No one really knows how much we do untill we aren’t able to do it!!!!!
What? I’ll never get a cookie now!
I suggest after you feel better you fake it for one more day. I mean, really they are learning so much!!
Yep, you need to get better and quick! Although they’re learning some pretty good things here. 🙂
Get better, soon!
Sorry your laundry fairy was on vacation … maybe she should teach the kids what to do while she is out of town?!
My kids have totally learned that laundry lesson as well. Actually, they almost learned the hard way about cleaning the toilet when I almost took the toilet out last week in a fit of anger. Luckily for them, the bolts were too tight.
ROFL!! That is classic I love it! I hope you feel better soon and fast for the sake of the world lol!
I was going to wish you better, but with a 3 pounds loss, maybe not! 🙂
Your laundry fairy must be on holiday with my laundry fairy ha! Feel better!!!!
Sorry you cant shake “the sick”!! I hate when the weather turns nicer and I’m stuck inside feeling badly!
Get better soon. I am sorry that you have been laid out by the sickness 🙁
Good lessons for the girls…when you are feelings better perhaps we should go over the cookie limit again?.?.?. 🙂
That’s excellent! Amazing what they CAN do. Hope you feel better soon!
Sorry to hear you are so sick! Feel better soon!
wait- laundry doesn’t do itself? What? No way! LOL! So sorry your still sick- hope you get better soon! Sick or not you always make me belly laugh- love the part about must sweep the floor for the cookies not just do the dishwasher! LOL!
Hope you feel better soon. They learned some good lessons this week though.
