Clorox, my friend.

I am not feeling very funny or witty today. In fact, I am feeling sorta crappy. achy. Agh!! That is my attempt at a blog scream. Did you hear it?!?

It is not so much taking care of a sick kid that is overwhelming me. I can handle that. It's the lingeringness...(nice word, eh?) It's the keeping 2 kids away from each other on different floors when they both need me.  It's the trying to disinfect everything while my baby pulls the house apart at the same time.  It's the 52 loads of laundry to disinfect the flu virus and strep bacteria out of our sheets and towels and clothes.  It's the realization that I am soooo behind in my bills and daily routine due to lingering sicknesses. AND it's the fact that I too feel as though it's stalking me, about to take me down like a lion to a gazelle.  (if you didn't get it, I am the gazelle. of course.)  

But through it all I am trying to remind myself that "this too shall pass." I am not dealing with a life-threatening illness and the ickiness of it all will not keep on.  I feel a little guilty and petty when I know there are friends of ours who are dealing with a too real illness and a real-life scare and challenge.  They probably wish all they had to deal with was the flu.  

So, back to getting a grip. dealing, and keeping on......
