Monday, The sick house!

Mother's Day we had a sick house. Nate's schedule changed and Signe' brought down Kelsa and Schmills to help make Mother's Day dinner.  Signe' is still holding onto a cold, and Hub's is getting the cold.  It was by far the worst day for me, and poor Schmills just had to endure the rest of us.

I am worried about Kelsa, as she is not drinking and Hubs went a got Pedialyte, but so far have not been able to get her to drink.  She did eat some toast and m&m's at this point it is about calories.

She managed to hit two sofa cushions with her mess, and I have those washed and hanging on the line to dry.  Hub's is miserable.

I am actually feeling better than I did the last few days and I do have an appointment with my GP tomorrow, so we will see if I am going to need an antibiotic.

The shop has been steady, and I have yet to get in there and sew anything, just too busy with grand kids. I am happy to have many leftovers from dinner yesterday, so I don't have to cook. Just putzing around the house trying to stay ahead of the flow.  There is a lot of flow here right now. TMI

I am so happy that I am feeling better! 

I was able to get some vacuuming and mopping done yesterday. Plus keep the laundry caught up.  If I continue to feel this good, I may do the ironing tonight, but don't hold your breathe.

Hubs got the onions planted for me and we still have not purchased any soil additives for the new bed. But hey work in progress. It will all get done eventually. Eventually I think that should be the name of my blog.

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

Kim

  1. Have you tried ice cream or popsicles for her? Kool Aid? I know that if I found something my kids would eat or drink, then they thought that was life after they were better...lol. My daughter became so dehydrated from throwing up at 18 months, she could not stand, walk or crawl. She ended up in the hospital with IV. It was scary!

    1. We are watching her closely; I know Nate is taking her to the doctor today. I hate it when babies are sick, it is scary.

  2. Kim, Kim...I know you love those grands, but your daughter really should maybe keep sick kids at her house. I really worry you or hubs are going to end up with something you will take a long time to recover from. That said, leftovers are great to not worry about food. I agree juice pops or something just wet that she might take in might help the poor baby.

    1. Well considering that I got this cold from Kelsa made that a moot point. When Kelsa first came down with the cold Signe' did keep her away so I would not get sick for the wedding. We do try, but sometimes it is just not i the work schedule.

  4. We had that cold here too, my friend. It hangs on. Madison and Flynn eventually got over it, and Steve and Rhett ended up with sinus infections. Glad you are feeling better. Leftovers tonight here!

  5. Do you happen to have any decaffeinated tea bags? My grands will drink SWEET, decaffeinated tea when they feel yucky. Anything to get them hydrated.

  7. Ugh, wishing you the best. Like so many said, popsicles or flat soda pop, anything to get liquids down, poor baby.

  11. I'm in the same boat as you Kim. I've been sick for over a week already and am behind with just about everything. Hope you & Hubs feel better soon. Hugs.

  12. Thinking of you, Kim. I responded to your comment on my blog about living/writing/dealing with a chronic progressive illness: YEAH. There are days and things that need to get done, no matter what, and we pay the price later. Hugs.
