The only word I can think of at the moment is crap.
Its been really crappy time for us.
I don't like to moan and groan, and feel sorry for myself, but today I'm going to!
We've had such a crappy Christmas. If it wasn't for the girl's excitement at opening presents, leaving a glass of milo and cookie out for Santa or the carrot for Rudolph, it would have been a very dull day.
I had a terrible bout of gastroenteritis the day before Christmas Eve, and Cherub was also sick with a vomiting bug, so our Christmas was a quiet day spent at home. Mum came up for a "light lunch". But there was no pavlova, or even a mince tart for dessert. :(
Then Popette got the horrid vomiting bug the day after we had our belated Christmas lunch with the in-laws.
Thankfully I felt better by my birthday (NYE) and we had a really nice BBQ lunch at home (again with Mum), which actually felt more like a Christmas lunch. After the shocker week of us 3 girls being sick, it was nice just to be home. I even felt well enough to have a few glasses of bubbly with Hubby to celebrating our birthday's and NYE.
One of the happier moments - with my girls on my birthday |
Then it all turned to crap AGAIN.
The next afternoon I started getting a soar throat, so off to the doctors I went on the Friday. The doctor told me I had a throat infection, then over the next couple of days I started to lose my voice, by the time Popette's birthday party came round I could hardly talk. Went back to same doctor who told me there was nothing he could do for me. Then over next couple days I felt worse started coughing and had low grade temps. Was worried I wouldn't be better by the time we had to travel to Brisbane, so Hubby & I went to a different doctor as he was having dizzy spells!

I'm hoping we get better soon, and that the girls don't catch it from us. We are taking all the precautions: giving them Vitamin C tablets, cold & flu gummies, Vick's on their back and the vapouriser on for the slightest snuffle...keeping our fingers & toes crossed they don't get sick, cause I've had enough of this crap!
Eek! Sounds horrid. :-( I hope you all feel better soon! Nothing worse than getting caught in a bug cycle.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cassandra :)
DeleteOh no! That's terrible! What an awful start to the year! Fingers crossed you guys have used up all your sickness for 2014 and things will look up from here on! xxx Lucy from Bake Play Smile
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping my fingers crossed too Lucy! Thanks :)
Deleteits hard to be sick with kids let alone at this time of year. I really hope you feel better soon and get a chance to have that well earnt holiday.
ReplyDeleteThanks Annaleis :)
DeleteOh Julie, I'm so sorry you had such a dodgy Christmas/NY! I hope you're both on the mend, and the little possums don't catch it xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, unfortunately Hubby & the girls are all sick with the dreaded virus. It seems to be never ending xo
DeleteOh no! I hope the rest of your year will be healthy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lauren, I hope so too! :)
DeleteWow, you guys have been through the ringer! Is there any chance you can reschedule your holiday? Do you have family nearby to look after the girls so you can actually rest and get better? Thinking of you :-(
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate. We are hoping to reschedule to next month, but only for a long weekend as Popette will have started school. My mum is nearby, and can look after Popette for an hour or so, but that's about it. I'm hoping we will be over it soon :)
DeleteBummer about the timing...hope you all feel better asap. Have you tried the Cut Onion next to the bed trick while sleeping at night time? Works well...but make sure you get rid of it first thing in the morning without touching it, it has taken on the rooms germs :)
ReplyDeleteHope you can have a holiday another time?
Hi Lisa, No I haven't tried the cut onion, funny you should mention it I just read about it on Facebook the other day. Might have to give it a go. We are hoping to reschedule our holiday to next month for a long weekend. :)
