I have “the sick” that will not go away. This has come with two blessings. So far, knock on wood, my kids remain sick free, and two I have lost 3 pounds.
My fabulous flu insert layer of sarcasm has afforded my kids the opportunity to learn some new things this week, the hard way.
->Yes the bagel is not toasted enough after one “round” through the toaster. The lesson, two rounds through equals burnt bagel….one and half, just right.
->Yes, they really can make their own lunches, but even with me green to the gills I will be making sure it contains more fruit then junk. Good try little ladies.
->Shockingly, laundry does not do itself! You can’t find socks? Turns out there is no laundry fairy. Mom does that stuff. Huh.
->If you stick your finger too far up your nose and pick, it will bleed. Like, a lot. (Not so much sick related, but one of them learned this the hard way this week..I won’t say which one)
->My kids have figured out how to manipulate me. Yes, when I am lying on the couch, I can be convinced that since they emptied the dishwasher they deserve 2 Girl Guide Cookies. That is rookie Mom stuff, we all know if they want two cookies they have to sweep the floor too!
I better get better soon before these kids figure out how to take over the world!
Randi Troxell says

Tammy Doane says
Hope you feel better soon!!! No one really knows how much we do untill we aren’t able to do it!!!!!
Heather says
What? I’ll never get a cookie now!
I suggest after you feel better you fake it for one more day. I mean, really they are learning so much!!
blueviolet says
Yep, you need to get better and quick! Although they’re learning some pretty good things here. 🙂

Get better, soon!
Sorry your laundry fairy was on vacation … maybe she should teach the kids what to do while she is out of town?!
Sara @ Domestically Challenged says
My kids have totally learned that laundry lesson as well. Actually, they almost learned the hard way about cleaning the toilet when I almost took the toilet out last week in a fit of anger. Luckily for them, the bolts were too tight.
Eschelle says

Kristina P. says
I was going to wish you better, but with a 3 pounds loss, maybe not! 🙂
Andrea says
