Having sick kids is rough. Having 3 sick kids after working a night shift . . . is REALLY rough!
My kids know when they are really sick they get to lay on a mattress in front of the TV, have Popsicles and Sprite and watch cartoons all day.
My thought is:
* If they rest they will heal faster
* Pop and Popsicles are an easy way to keep them hydrated
* Junk food makes them complain about "spicy" medicine less
* Keeping them in 1 room makes humidifying the air easier
* Cartoons make everything better!
I get home on Monday morning and my 5 year old asks (while hacking up his lungs)
"am I sick enough to lay on the mattress?"
Considering the chorus of hacking and crying I said:
"YES!"
His smile helped and I promptly ran to the store to pick up "sick day" necessities.
Just thought you might like a little glimpse into our "sick day"
Good thing today: Broke 3 fevers! Yay!
