Oh my holy flu

WEll after my last post we all started dropping like flies. First Samantha then Jake next a call from school to go get Taylor. Wait we are not done Scott and I got it too . All at the same time. Which was fine for everyone but the Mommy.I know it sounds like whining ....Yes you are right it is. I just don't like to have to cook and clean while having the flu especially the mess the flu brings. I was just so thankful it was only a short one. Give me kids with a fever who just want to snuggle any day. Normally my husband is the cleaner of the throw-up ......but he just looked at me and said I'm out! .....OH! Yeah for me! Thankfully we are all well now and it is just a funny story. This is what makes the journey so great all the little stories. I will try and post not gross stories this week ......Maybe

Do I really have to do that?

I am not gonna lie there are aspects of being a mom that I do not love. Like Tuesday we had had a busy day and were just pulling into dance class. I turn to get the baby out and he looks at me and throw-up just flows like a fountain . Spraying all over my car. I just looked at him for a minute and thought EWE!! Because guess who is going to have to clean that disgusting mess up ? The girls are squealing because yuck it smells terrible. So I get Sam up to class and the rest of us drive home with all the windows down. Its not over though because I have to get him out of the car and into the tub. Now if you have never done this you might not realize that the only way to do this is to stick your hands in the mess to unhook the carseat straps. ....Exactly EWE . I was hoping it was something that didn't settle in His little tummy. And I thought I was in the clear but last night Sam got the bug. And Jake joined her again this morning. He calls me and says "Mooom I need a baby wipe!" I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I actually laughed really hard because he was just sitting there with his little hands out and a matter-of-fact look on his face.
So my game plan for today is wash the 2 sheets, 8 blankets, 5 towels and 3 pillows that are now yuck ! Oh and wait to see who is going to join the club. One of the down sides to having a big family. So No I really don't want to be the mommy today. And I am actually afraid to feed my children!
