Worst. Week. Ever.

So ever since Alexander got sick on my birthday last Saturday, it's been a nightmare around here. Both my husband and I got sick on Tuesday. We were completely bed and couch ridden all week with fevers, coughs, headaches and stuffy noses. Then, after being such a trooper all week, Benji inevitably caught it yesterday and now has a fever and cough. We are all still sick except Alexander seems almost 100%.

To top this off, my first day back to work is tomorrow. This past week was supposed to be all about preparing myself. Spending time with the kids, taking Alexander to the park, trying to help Benji sit up, getting a haircut and manicure, getting hte house prepared for my Mom and MIL again.

Everything was just a mess. And it still is. I'm a mess (emotionally, physically and appearance-wise). Alexander has been an emotional clingy mess and I'm scared for him. Benji is just so pathetic looking and sounding. He seems so small to be sick and I have to leave him now the first time he even got sick. I don't know how I'm going to go back to work tomorrow still feeling this sick and not having anything under control whatsoever.

I'm sorry. It's just a vent. I just feel so bad about the way all of this went down. I'm so disappointed :(

    Oh my gosh how awful! Major hugs!!!

    Just try to take it 1 day at a time - don't think about weeks / months ahead, just one day at a time - before you know it you will all be back in a groove and it will be the weekend and you can get extra long

    That is so terrible!  I am so sorry.  I hope you feel better by tomorrow.  A and B will have their doting grandmas to take of them. They will be fine.  Just get through the next few days and things will look brighter.

    Being sick when you have a lot going on is the absolute worst. I know it sometimes puts me in meltdown mode. No matter what sort of prep you do for the house and the kids, even none starting right now, they will be just fine. . . . 5 minutes after you'

    ugh, that sounds miserable; I'm so sorry!

    Like the others said, just take it one day at a time. Hopefully by the end of this week, you can treat yourself to that manicure & haircut.

    So sorry!  And it sucks big time being a teacher because you have to be on top of things all day.  Can you do an easy day where the kids do something?  Like vocab day?  That's what I do when Im not feeling well.

    Aww, I'm so sorry jilly!  You must be so stressed out.  I was crazy stressed last time I went back to work after mat leave, but everyone was healthy and everything was running smoothly.  Can't imagine being in your position right now =(. &n

    I am sorry, that sounds really hard. At least if he is sick it will be at home with grandma. I hope work is easy on you tomorrow. P.s. how is your baby 6 months old already?!?!

    I'm so sorry. :( Any possibility of taking a couple of sick days to get back on track? I know it'd suck, but maybe?

    In any case, it'll all work out. Hang in there!

    So sorry you're having a rough time. Like PP said just take it day by day and remember that summer is just around the corner. The end of the year always seems to go fast with all the end of the year stuff so hopefully yours will do the same!!
