It Wouldn't Be Christmas Without...

Someone being sick. Every Christmas means we are treated to some type of virus going through our house. A few years ago Sue Sue ended up in the emergency room just a week before Christmas. She had croup. By Christmas Eve I had what I describe as "the adult version of croup." It knocked me on my back for an entire weekend (including the day after Christmas). Since then, at least one of us ends up with something right around Christmas.
This year is no different. I've spent a week battling a cold. I think I'm finally on the mend, but now Tortilla is suffering from a stomach bug. I'm finally getting her to keep down liquids, so that seems promising. She's asking for soup for lunch, so I hope that means she's starting to recuperate. 
So far, though, we're still managing to get things done as we approach Christmas. As long as I have everyone healthy on Christmas Day, I won't complain (too much)!

It must be something about Christmas, because I have 2 sick kiddos, as well as myself. My father in law had a stomach bug, which I expect will hit my kids as well in next few days since they catch everything that anyone has. Hope yours are feeling better soon so they can really enjoy the holiday!

I was always sick during holidays growing up (usually Christmas or Easter), so I guess I should just expect it with my kids, too!

Boo! I hope everyone feels better by Christmas Day for sure! Fingers crossed for you!
