More bugs are running around our home. That’s one of the yucky things about having a dayhome in your place of residence – there are five or six kids coming and going each bringing their share of germs to add to the mix. Plus, Cassandra is in grade one so she has access to her own set of germs at school.

Wednesday, Christopher began throwing up. Friday, Lori had an absolutely horrible night. I think she was parked in front of the porcelain throne every ten minutes from 7:00 pm till 3:00 am. I have so far faired a bit better. I threw-up once saturday morning but have been nautious and weak ever since.

Two weeks of grossness in our home and very limited running as a result.

I tell ya, the luck has gotta change around here because I don’t think (hope) it can get worse!

Totally sucks, Mark. When the whole family is sick, its a real mess. And when folks are pukin’, you get so drained and malnurished too. Hope you and the rest of the bunch can kick the nasty bug soon.

Yuck! I’d rather have a cold than that kind of bug. Just hearing someone else makes me gag. Wait so does reading about….. Hope you and the family are better soon.

I ran a dayhome for 4 years, caught every bug on the planet the first year, and must have built up quite a bit of resistance after that. Tell your wife to hang in there from me!

Mark, that totally sucks. I’m so sorry that you and Lori are both sick. Ugh. I hope you feel better soon. Do you at least have plenty of ginger ale on hand? :(

Well, that stinks. I hope you and your family get to feeling better soon. Look at it this way, the sickness is making you rest your ankle right?

Yuck! Hang in there…it will pass. It’s hard when you and your family just pass it from person to person. Plus, like Karen said, your getting some ankle rehab!

Take care and get well soon.

So sorry Mark. I’m sure it’s no fun at all. But hey, maybe you’ve had your illness for the winter and it will be smooth sailing now!
