Sick & Tired of kids being sick

Well we have now had the last of the latest battle. It is officially over as long as Jeff & I don't get it. A stomach bug went through and one by one the boys contracted it.

Since Feb one or more have been perpetually ill. Now mind you I am not a dirty person. I have cleaned and disinfected the bathroom, kitchen. Have washed all floors on my hands and knees. Have washed all sheets and blankets numerous times in hot water. Have made sure no towel is used more than once so there is no cross contamination. Have lysoled every available area and toy in this house. However, somehow this is not enough. Also because I do daycare all of those kids have had the stomach bugs, viruses and colds also. Actually one of them also had an ear infection. So it seems magnified because I am adding 4 more kids into the mix.

We have had:

ear infections
walking pneumonia
stomach bugs
colds
nasty virus with fever and body aches that lasted a good week per person(I also got this one)

Here was my life from the Thursday before Easter until Easter evening.

Thurs night basement flooded. Jeff had already left for Canada and I hence was left to rip up rugs, wet and dry vac

Sat on my way out the door to getting Colby down to Tracy and Dave's so they could take him to Museum of Science twins mom calls to say her Jeff's check bounced to me. (Should have know right their this was going to be a rough day.) Realize Austin needs to go to Dtr call in rte. to Tracy's house and have to race back to Bedford for 10:30 am appt. It is 10 am now and I am in Salem, NH. Then off to the drug store to fill all the prescriptions. (This has been the 3rd appt in 2 wks). Race home get Austin settled put Brady in for nap go grocery shopping. Brady gets up and drops a dzn eggs on my floor. (Thank you so much to Tracy for getting me more.) Have to dye eggs with the boys and try and bake for mom's on Sun.

Sun Easter at mom's Colby has massive asthma attack to the pt almost had to call 911. We finally get him settled and Brady starts throwing up all over the place because of all the candy. Get that taken care of and again he is sick all over himself and my mom's. So much for all the money I just spent on suits.
Leave mom's think I forget my wallet go all the way back to mom's and realize nope it is in the diaper bag and I finally get home around 7:30 pm.
I go to get Brady out of the car and Brady has gotten sick all over the car. So now have to clean the entire car.
I get in the house and kids are like okay mom we need to have dinner now. I just pick up the phone and call Rachael so I can have a good cry. I was so utterly frazzled and spent. I know Jeff doesn't do much but what he does help me out with, certainly helps and I needed him so desperately by Monday it wasn't even funny.

This has been my life lately. FRAZZLED IN BEDFORD!!!


Then Jeff's van is down. It is having transmission issues and that leaves us with one vehicle.

So needless to say this is why I haven't updated in a while plus feel a little guilty with Lesley going through everything she is going through I feel I shouldn't complain. I am so blessed with the things I have but somehow can't help complaining just a little. By the way my kids have been so absolutely wonderful through all this. They have been really a joy other than getting sick all the time it seems.
