The kids are sick. I’m tired. Makes for a fun combination, as I’m sure you can guess.
We are down with Hand Foot & Mouth this week. Megan got it first. She’s still covered in the little sores, but her fever broke last night and she’s starting on the upswing. Erin got a fever on Sunday morning (She was fine when I left to teach Sunday school, when I came back at 11, she had a 102 degree fever. Glad I kept them all home!). She’s got worse sores than Meg’s were, but she can express herself better so she’s not as irritable as poor Meg has been. And just tonight, Alex had a low-grade fever when he went to bed. So I suspect he’ll be down for the count tomorrow.
So yeah…3 sick kiddos + one tired Momma + one unbelievably helpful Daddy + God’s strength and grace = survival. But needless to say, I will be glad to see the end of this virus as soon as possible!
(Though on the positive side…it’s not a stomach bug! ‘Cause that would be bad. Seriously. 
)
Anyway, I’ll be back again soon with happier stories to share. But until then…off to bed I go.
Happy Monday!
