On large families and illness
Posted by: LizzieI think one of the hardest things about having a large family is when everyone gets sick. I’m not talking snot and cough either. I’m talking about the kind of sick that requires you to seek out bathroom trash cans to use as puke receptacles and to spray disinfectant on every surface that might have been touched by a virus-carrying hand. There’s a faint smell of vomit coming from the carpet in front of the couch where Simon was hanging his head over like a seasick cruise line passenger.
Last night I was reminded of the scene from the Ya Ya Sisterhood movie when all the kids are barfing everywhere and Vivi is crying with her fingers in her ears.
Jamie’s napping in bed right now.
The kids are feeling a little better today.
If I don’t end up with this virus, it’ll be a Christmas miracle.

I pray you do not, for your personal sanity, as well as the sake of the soprano section. Stay well!

Out of 5 kids, I have one who NEVER gets sick. The rest of the house could have the plague & she’s as healthy as can be.Lucky.Hmmph
