"Working" at Home

I thought I finally had it together, finding time to work from home on the blog and at Disney Family between one morning of preschool and a great babysitter.

And then they got sick.

They have fevers and runny noses and bad stuff happening at the other end, and well, they're utterly miserable. And we're up all night, dealing with drinks of water and Tylenol and upset tummies. So there's no getting on the computer after the kids go to bed, because I can barely stand up straight. And this morning, the first thing I see when I get on the computer is this story about a toddler with swine flu, which I so don't need to read right now.

So I'm taking the day off. The usual Tuesday goodies (and some leftover Monday stuff) will have to wait. And I'll do my best to do tomorrow's Safeway post, but thanks in advance for your patience.

Off to cuddle on the couch with sweaty, miserable kids...

I know they're sick, but what a precious picture. Hang in there. My prayers are with your sweet girls.

prayers that your crew heal quickly. (and that you, as the Main Caregiver, avoid getting it, too...)

Awww, I just dealt with that AND I got sick after everyone else was well. So I know how it feels...they grow up so fast and don't need you so much as they get older so go get your cuddles while you can...you will miss it one day! Hope everyone gets better soon! As much as I love your blog, we can live without for a few days...LOL. Good Luck! And no computer work for you.

When my kids get sick it throws me off too. Thankfully they get better and life goes back to routine again.

Hope the kiddos feel better soon!

My little one is just 4 months old and so far we haven't had to deal with any major illnesses that bother her...I know that it's inevitable, though! My heart goes out to you and your little kiddos! I hope they feel better SOON! Don't worry, your faithful followers will still be here when you come back. :0)
