It kind of snuck up on me…and since I was busy warding off flu viruses and cold germs, I didn’t realize until Monday that Christmas was indeed on Thursday.
Not that the kids will go without. We did manage to scrimp enough together to get them a few things, and the grandparents will be spoiling them as grandparents often do. I just think if a nasty flu or stomach bug wasn’t invading my home, attacking every human in its path, I would enjoy the holiday season more, and so would they.
Cinco only throws up at night, after I put him to bed. Washing the same sheets again and again is no fun. But he went to the doctor on Monday, and you know what? Apparently he is getting better, since the time between him throwing up is getting longer and longer. We have also regulated his diet, and the doc said that that was good. The only thing she told my husband that we didn’t already know is to give more Gatorade than water, because he needs the caloric intake in the Gatorade and the electrolytes than what’s in water, which is…water. So we have been doing that for over a week, and nighttime is the only time he gets sick. He hasn’t been acting like himself, either.
Jango acts if though nothing is wrong, but he’s getting over the bug too. He hasn’t thrown up nearly as much, but he has thrown up. So far he hasn’t done so today, and I plan to keep it that way.
Richard is still getting over this nasty nuisance slowly but surely. He’s well enough to go back to work, but as soon as he smells the kids vomit, he’s yelling at me to take care of it.
And I got it least of all. I had it for about two days, and that was that. My throat was bothering me earlier today, but that has seem to go away too.
But enough about germs. Today the kids and I are going to my in-laws for Christmas Eve dinner. Tomorrow Christmas will be spent here at home, then the in-laws, and then my mom’s. Some day soon we will celebrate Christmas just at our house and not worry about traveling everywhere with the kids. It can be a hassle, especially when your car is full of presents!
Well, that’s enough this time around. Merry Christmas everyone! Now I am going to nap while the kids are asleep…
