Bad bad winter

This has just been the longest winter EVER in the history - of my household, that is. Early this morning, my happy baby became a whiny clingy and highly feverish one at a blink of an eye. Great, just great. Just when I thought that we are in the clear for the rest of this winter....


On the first day of winter my children gave to me
1 roseola on a rashy baby.
On the second day of winter my children gave to me
2 sinus infections
and 1 roseola on a rashy baby.
On the third day of winter my children gave to me
3 ear infections
2 sinus infections
and 1 roseola on a rashy baby
On the fourth day of winter my children gave to me
4 diarrhea diapers
3 ear infections
2 sinus infections
and 1 roseola on a rashy baby
On the fifth day of winter my children gave to me
5 nights of sleeplessness,
4 diarrhea diapers
3 ear infections
2 sinus infections
and 1 roseola on a rashy baby
On the sixth day of winter my children gave to me
6 messy vomits,
5 nights of sleeplessness,
4 diarrhea diapers
3 ear infections
2 sinus infections
and 1 roseola on a rashy baby.
On the seVenTH day of winter my children gave to me
7 days off work
6 messy vomits,
5 nights of sleeplessness,
4 diarrhea diapers
3 ear infections
2 sinus infections
and 1 roseola on a rashy baby.
and etc.
Need I go on?

You know what's sad?? The part that I dread is not all the work for the sick kids. Is telling work that I'll have to miss yet another day of work and pray that they don't fire me.

Even though the subject matter is sad--it's still a very clever post :)

My trees are showing buds...it will be spring soon. Promise!
