My eldest, daughter and Devil boy are ill

My eldest was sick on Saturday night. Bless him it was so sad seeing him. Thankfully he understood about using the toilet so that helped but he kept asking for medicine to make him better. He just did not understand that sadly in cases like that the best thing to do is just let the system sick it out.

Thankfully it passed quickly so that by the next day he was eating some things and not being sick. I am very pleased that it passed quickly.

I had hoped that it was going to be a one off with just my eldest being affected but bees my daughter she was sick last night and as I had to take her blankets off to get them washed she was not happy. She eventually managed to get some sleep but she woke several times and I had to bring her through into bed with Devil Boy and I for a while until she settled.

She has been thankfully fine during the day but I was just about to give them their nighttime bottles when she was upset and fussed over her bottle. I think that because I have been so busy today I have been in a flap so I sadly snapped at her. She got really upset so I sat her up right to give her a cuddle when she was sick again. She has been fine all day. Poor wee poppet no wonder she was fussing over her bottle. I felt so bad about snapping at her. After I had cleaned her up I gave her lots of cuddles and after many cuddles and constantly telling her I was sorry she seemed better (as much as is possible at the moment) I settled her off to bed as soon as possible. My youngest son also was not interested in his bottle but that could be due to getting disturbed but he could also be coming down with what she and my eldest had. I just need to make sure that I can keep well until it has passed through the rest of the Devil household. We have had to cancel my stepdaughter coming over tomorrow, as there is no point exposing her to the risk of getting ill. Especially when it is so fresh in the system.

Devil boy is not feeling well so has been sleeping on the sofa. I had to go out to the shop to get some Lemsip’s. I took one as well as I am not feeling that good at the moment. I think that was why I stood on a nail that was in a piece of wood by the neighbour’s door. I will have to ask them to move them, as that is dangerous for the younglings and us.

I have to also make sure that I get everything tidied up so that I can get to bed early, as I am up at 0630 tomorrow to take everyone to the dentist.
