plans changed .....what we thought we would be doing didn't happen
it started with one coming home from school on tuesday...by wednesday evening
two more were sick, Rosie and Reyna
Rosie even asked to stay home on Thursday, not caring that she was missing her
christmas party. By Friday morning one more had joined the sick ranks...
Saturday morning found kevin at urgent care with Rosie and Reyna who were still sick
Reyna had strep and Rosie just a bug
honestly I would have expected it to be the other way around
alicia returned from a home visit with no voice and a sore throat saturday morning
and so those plans were altered, I stayed home with those not feeling well, and kevin took the healthy kids to my sisters for Christmas eve. My night was quiet, as most slept, with the occasional interruption for one child throwing up or another.
Christmas day we decided to stay home rather than travel to my aunts, no need sharing those
germs....linda and her fmily decided to brave or sick house anad joined us for lunch..
so did Betty and my dad.
most had recovered and were feeling quite well, except for Rosie who
still is not feeling well, fever, throwing up and now tonight pink eye, she spent
christmas day curled up in my bed, sleeping and watching movies.
even tho our plans were far different than we expected, and yes I would have rather had
healthy kids, I did find the quiet peacefulness that filled this holiday was a nice
change, nor hurry, no worry, just snuggling with some of my favorite little ones
watching movies or reading books, or just holding them as they slept.
it rather fit with our less is more thinking
our journey to keep it simple
*after a trip to the ER this evening with Rosie
who seemed to be getting worse with each passing hour
this doctor determined she also has strep.
she is home with her first dose of antibiotics and a Gatorade
curled up on the couch watching Hairspray...
hopefully she is on the path to feeling better
