I'm so lonely tonight

mathteacher

My entire family is in town for a huge week long Christmas celebration!  I only see my brother and his family and my sister and her family twice a year.  Everyone is at my parents' house enjoying lots of food, gifts, and great company.  However, both of my girls are very sick (oldest has a 104 degree fever for 3 days, youngest has a 103 degree fever for 8 days plus is on an antibiotic for a double ear infection).  I am stuck at home with them so we don't spread this sickness to all the cousins.  I have taken the girls to the doctor, but that is the extent that I've been able to get out of the house.  My husband couldn't take being cooped up for so long so he is over at my families' house enjoying the company.  I am at home nursing my sick children (never an easy job).  However, right now they are both asleep so I just sit here with no one to talk to.  I can't even call my mom or sister because they are all socializing and having fun, they don't want to stop to talk with me (besides I don't even really have anything to talk about).  I'm just lonely!

call your husband and tell him to get home so you can go to your families house and see them.

=o( That sounds awful. I'm so sorry! Are you sure they wouldn't want to talk to you? Can you trade shifts with your DH? That doesn't seem fair at all that you should have to be home all night while he's out with your family!

Ditto this - it's your family, he's had his turn now you go!

Ditto.  You two should take turns.  After all, it is your family and he needs to suck it up.
