Well, the last few days around the Clark household have been pretty rough. Mike and I are exhausted and the boys are both sick. Yuck is right!
It all started Thursday night. Samuel started running a fever around 8:30pm. He was up and down most of the night and finally topped it all off around 4am when he threw up down Mike's back and all over his bed. Mike stayed home from work on Friday to help out.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday are pretty much a blur at this point. Lots of crying (mostly from Samuel and I), lots of coughing, nose wiping, Tylenol taking, walking with kids in our arms, rocking at all hours of the nights and more crying. I am not sure either of the boys have slept for more than about a two hour span, of course both on different cycles, meaning Mike or I are awake every hour. To say the least we are ready to wave the magic wand that will make everyone better. Mike is home again today since dealing with two sick kids is beyond what I am able to handle at this point.
The highlight of the weekend was that Mike and I were able to get away for a couple of hours. Jen and Tucker watched the boys while we went and saw the movie, Juno. Highly recommended by both of us. We had two hours of a good movie, buttery popcorn, all you can drink diet coke, and best of all no crying children.
Wish us luck in the next couple of days as we try to get this sickness to leave our house. Hopefully sooner rather than later for all our sakes.
