Blech

Sick kids for one week and one day. Not that I'm counting.....oh who am I kidding? Of course I'm counting! Would it be better to have them sick at the exact same time or is this the preferred method; one sick, then better then the other sick? I'm not sure but from where I sit today I'm thinking at the same time would be better. Either way I'm losing sleep but at the same time would mean it would not be extended over a two week span.

I love my house but I'm ready to venture into the real world now. Staying here 24/7 (with short trips to drop off and pick up school aged child) only brings into focus how much needs to be done. I can usually ignore the fact that the walls could really use a fresh coat of paint but frankly, when you stare at them for NINE days, it becomes more than obvious. Same thing goes for the grout around the sinks. They really need to be redone. And the kitchen window sill? It really needs to be scrubbed with a toothbrush.

Two days ago, while in a lull of the full blown sickness, I scrubbed out the washer (specifically where the soap, etc. goes. It's a front loader and it can get rather nasty in there.) and spent over an hour scrubbing the kitchen sink and surrounding area. And kick in the pants on the sink part is - it doesn't look much different than before I started. Guess it wasn't that awful to start with. *sigh* But at least I *know* it's clean.

I'm just saying.

It's time for the kids to be healthy now. And to stay healthy. Otherwise, goodness knows what else I will find that needs to be cleaned. :)
