Ffs, sick bug hits the house

So much for a restful relaxing weekend. I've been up since 1.30 with both my children tag teaming me, one in en-suite, one in main bathroom, with what looks like sick bugs.

Husband cleaned the floors, got buckets and was back in bed asleep by 2.15 whilst I've gone between bathrooms emptying buckets, wiping faces, topping up drinks and giving cuddles. Luckily none on carpets or beds, they both made it to the bathrooms.

Finally sickness seemed to stop about half an hour ago, both bathed / showered and tucked up in bed asleep and guess who's feeling queasy now?!

I hope to everything it's just exhaustion and because I've been dealing with sick and the house smells but it's very unlikely.

Ffs I'm shattered have done a 44 hour week in 4 days at work with an almost hour each side of my day commute. I needed a quiet, relaxing weekend. Not everyone taken down by bugs.

No point in this post really other than to have a bit of a moan / vent

So annoying that these stomach bugs are still doing the rounds in bloody summer, sure they used to give us all some respite outside of the winter months! Hope you're all feeling better soon, only saving grace is that they seem to pass between people quickly but also seem to pass quickly as well.

Thank god for modern technology though. Now curled up in bed with Netflix on the tv. Kids are both asleep and seem to finally be over it. Husband snoring so think he's over it too thank god. He can take care of me tomorrow and catch up with the laundry

@needhelpgivelove much better this evening thank you. Kids and husband are fine and I've gone about 8 hours without sickness now. Hopefully will be more better again by tomorrow

Dp has it. I'm waiting now for the rest of us to get out.

I have zero sympathy! My DD leaves nursery this week and has been so excited for her little party. I'll be so sad if misses it 🥺
