Germs

Save me from germs. I feel like I need to vacuum the very air in my house. I am in a purpertual state of nursing. First my mom, who is MA never sick, gets a stomach virus. She is home for 2 whole days from work. (In the 22 + years she has been a teacher, she has NEVER taken a sick day). Not because she shoulders through the cold, but because she is never sick. Had to take Safah to school and get her ready (mom and I usuallyu share this cause she teaches at the same school) and I was still getting up with Deen at night. Hubby had a slight cold. ( He also never gets sick, and has been getting these random viruses I guess from Safah.)

Then last week Safah my dear munchkin gets the trifecta of germs. An ear infections in both ears, the flu and pink eye. A certain type of eye/ear flu was going around. So she and Deen had to go on antibiotics (he had infected excema on his face...it just would not go away.) She home Mon- Wed. And of course 4 year olds cannot stay in bed or slow down like normal people. SO day 1 and 1/2, had her bouncing off the walls, while Deen wailed. No sleep for momma.

NOW my poor hubby has the highly contagious Norovirus which is closing whole schools down in Wake and Hyde counties. Safah's school has at least 6 kids absent in each class, and now I think it is getting to teachers. SInce Monday, he has been in bed on clear liquids. Any one ever seen my hubby...he is a big guy, and clear liquids means weak hubby. So I have to keep him upstairs in the guest room away from everyone. Lonley nights 8-( and still watch the little munchkin and get safah off to school, and take the baby cause he cannot stay with his papa cause he cannot touch him.

It's like he is on a business trip, but I have to take him to his meetings, and feed him. Plain rice and broth. How strange is that. Veggie dish for mom each night, meat for everyone else usually and now an invalid meal for him. Do you know how hard it is to make invalid food? What can they tolerate and still taste...I mean GEEZ he is desi ( he had spices in his baby milk----true since he was breastfeed. hehhe lol.)

Nurse Nura out...Deen is ready to eat, and safah needs a snack (she has been up since 6) and I need to check on the hubby who has slept like 15 hours off and on. Hmmm I think there are Dr. appts today, Safah and Hubby...I need coffee!
