Guys, I don't want to spend another day home with the kids

omg, I just want to go to work, lol

Sophia has been home sick since friday, I got sick saturday and Anna sunday.  Anna is still feeling crappy, but Sophia and I are both better.  I still have tons of laundry to do, even though I've been doing laundry non stop since friday.  I'm so sick of this crap.  

They have to be "vomit-free" for 48 hrs to go back to daycare.  Sophia puked once sunday and once last night.  Why??  That means home today and tomorrow? I kinda want to ignore last night's vomit and send them back tomorrow.  :*-(

    :(  That suuuuucks.  I hope today's a better day.  How is your husband's job search going?

     

  • wbl, he is supposed to hear today or tomorrow.  Or maybe friday.  Ugh.  She said it was between him and another candidate, she said he was the best candidate, and she is now checking references.  So he should get it, reight? Except she also said "I'm worried you'll get bored here, maybe you are too good for this job".  WTF?  I'm starting to think the CEO is cuckoo, and it will almost be a good thing if he doesn't get it.  

    At least with all the puking this weekend, he didn't have time to stress about this, lol 

  • I would ignore the fact that she puked Monday night. It could have just been sensitive stomach and nothing to do with illness still in her body. When Jack is getting back from the stomach bug he always just randomly pukes and I know he isn't sick anymore. Just something didn't agree with his tum tum.

    I would ignore last nights vomit like that other parent ignored the hand/foot and mouth disease. Is that flameful?

  • I'm surprised it's a 48 hour waiting period - our daycares (two of  them) have a 24 hour policy. So...

  • I would ignore last nights epipsode.  It has always been 24 hours with us.

    You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted and used against you. My Blog
  • Thanks guys, I think I'll do that.  I was thinking if you guys flamed me I'd keep her home, lol.  

    It used to be 24 hrs, and they changed it this year to 48 per new official government guidelines.   

  • ::hi fives papie::

    right there with you sister.

    I always think poop is more of an indicator of if the illness is still in her body. If things are firming up in that category then I really think you are good to go.

  • No diarrhea since sunday for Sophia.  Anna didn't get any, but the vomiting stopped yesterday afternoon.  I think we are good for tomorrow, thanks.  Or worst case, if they ask the question directly, I'll just keep Anna home.  
  • Update: no daycare tomorrow.  We'll see about thursday.  

    OMG, I just found Sophia covered in explosive diarrhea.  (yes, I cleaned her before posting).  

    FUUUUUCCCCK

    She was sick mostly friday and saturday.  All better by saturday night.  Except Sunday afternoon, as I thought she would be good for daycare monday, she puked all over me.  Then was all good, except I found her in puke in her bed last night.  

    Again all better today, and now this.  The fuckinggift that keeos on giving.  SURPRISE, there is always more! Surprise, surprise, surprise!

    Motherfuckingvirus.   

  • I'm sorry Papie...let's toast each other over some wine tonight and commiserate again tomorrow.
  • I take it your kids are still sick too? :(  Is it still hot? Is your a/c fixed?  Man, I definitely need t drink tonight, now that I'm feeling good enough.  Last night I was still on the pedialyte pops, lol

    Oh papie. This is effing terrible.

    Listen to me, okay?

    Put everyone who is still puking or schitting themselves on a clear liquid diet (with toast or crackers for the baby) for the next 24 - 36 hours. Give everyone's guts time to recovery from the virus.

    After that period. do the BRAT diet for the same length of time. Then sloooooowly start introducing other foods.

    Hopefully that'll help with some of the nastiness that keeps happening.

    I like privacy. A lot.
