Beeeeecause, all the baking, cleaning, cooking, planning and preparing in the world will NOT stop the creeping crud from putting a damper on your holiday.
Unless, you live at our house…
"Sweetie, you awake?"
…you're turning 15, this week…
"Any special requests?"
…but, have lost ALL concept of time…
"Can I please have some water, now, pretty please?"
…because, the kid's been puking since Christmas Day.
"Um, not yet, Sweetie, maybe tomorrow."
At our house, birthdays and holidays sometimes arrive late and can last an entire week, even.
"What day is it, again, today?"
[one beat, two beats]
"Uh, well, um, Christmas, yeah, that's right, it's Christmas!"
On OPPOSITE day, so what?
"Oh, look…AAAAAND it's snowing!"
Besides, this way, it looks like we'll be having a White Christmas, after all!
"Oh good, just in time for my sleepover!!!"
Um, yeah…about that…considering Snowmageddon has indeed arrived, uh, no.
"Right, Momma?"
Shhhh, but don't remind Heather, that Glen has a wrestling tournament (on Heather's birthday) but, he's also coughing up a lung, like Holly and Hope's been hitting the bathroom (on and off) since early, this morning.
"Riiiiiight, I hope it snows until New Years."
What? Okay, I don't know about your house.
"YAY…let's have pajama day, everyday!"
I would MUCH rather admit defeat once, than have to succumb to the creeping crud, one celebration at a time, you know?
Happy, um, Everything!!!

I sympathize. I really, really do. My younger girl “missed” Christmas this year because of a very nasty sinus and throat infection. Unfortunately, the cough medicine she was taking made her throw up for two days straight, making her even sicker and weaker. After three visits to the doctor and one to the hospital, she’s feeling better. And I’m feeling better because it’s once again a “puke-free” household.
I hope you and yours are feeling better!
It’s the little things in life, like a sick-free holiday, that parents enjoy, sometimes more than those gifts under the tree.

I hope everyone is feeling better soon! My son drove home from school (5 hour drive) last week with a fever and immediately started throwing up when he got home. It lasted 3 days on and off….ugh. Then, my husband got a chest cold. Good times. I’d rather deal with a sick kid than a sick husband any day of the week.
HUGS!!! (from a distance!)
