3 sick children

For a week now my kids have been sick with a cold so no school which means no break for me:} Its been non stop crying, running noses snot on everything, fevers,medicene,sleepless nights. I have not left the house for a week. I need to get out!Ok I did take a trip to the local home depot where it was freezing and the hole time it seemed like Austin was crying. Yesterday I went to Costco and Austin once again just walked behind and cried, 15 min later I pack them all up and just say forget it! I did not even get what I was going there for. Its 1:30 and I have not done anything Katie usually has had two naps by now but today she just feels the need to cry. I try to set her down to do the dishes but she cries yet again. I then proceed with doing the dishes with her in one arm, which I've gotten really good at. I attempt for the third time to put Katie to sleep as I lay her in the sleeping position in my arms she fights with all her might to sit up. I finally get her to sleep, I wonder how long she will sleep for. As I'm writing this I feel guilty for not taking this time to clean the dishes to do a load of laundry spend time with Austin or make lunch for my husband who does not seem to know how. Days seem to have gone by and I've done nothing but take care of sicks kids. Yes all the choirs can wait and yes all the messes are not going any where but I just feel like I'll have to clean for 4 days straight to catch up. Would I go through this whole week again? Yes I would, because I love my kids but hey if I'm going to have a repeat week like the one I had I think I'll hire a housekeeper:} P.s Katie just slept a total of 20 min,here we go:}

It's not easy taking care of sick kids, especially when they all get sick at once! On the up side, the should all get better at the same time too. Hang in there!
