We’ve been sick and so it has been a rough couple of days.

It’s a funny thing to take note of, the first time all four of us got sick at the same time, but it was monumental enough for me to at least realize it.

It was actually Aidan’s first time ever being sick-sick.

There was an adjustment period to us all being sick at the same time because there was no one able to designate themselves as the “taker care of” person and each one of us has a different need when it comes to be taking care of when we’re sick.

We all just did what we could, which was mainly laying still and moaning.

It was a little bit of learning experience too.  Knowing how bad I felt and then watching Aidan and Jacek go through the same thing was difficult.

As silly as it may sound it made me imagine families receiving much worse news then “He has a stomach virus it will pass in 1-3 days”.

It made me terribly sad and thankful that while we were splitting in two from dehydration we would get better and much sooner then later or never.

While your in the moment of being sick though that day when you’ll be feeling better tends to feel like weeks away.

Thankfully for us it was only about 4 days.

So, yes we are the mend and I wouldn’t mind a reprieve of say, 6-8 months before having to clean up “messes” that don’t belong to me.

We’re not talking toys here people.  So gross.

Stay healthy….
