Well it finally happened. The flu I have been hearing about for the past month visited our house. Last week Kortney was sick on and off. Nothing major she'd be sick and carry on about her day. Friday afternoon just before leaving for a hair apt the school phoned to tell me Dawson had gotten sick at school. I knew this wasn't going to be good because Travis and Kaitlin were both having friends come home off the bus for a sleepover. So I quick cancelled my apt, went to get Dawson and came back to phone mom's to phone the school so their kids went home. Travis and Kaitlin came home very mad and accusing Dawson of faking. Well poor Dawson has never been so sick in his life! I'll bear you the details, but he was very sick until bedtime. So my day wasn't going quite as planned - no big deal- until I went to do some laundry (Dawson went through quite a few towels while trying to hit the bowl) Well would you believe me if I told you my dryer that worked that morning quit!! No shit, what's the chances. I knew this was going to be a huge problem because with only two kids sick there's still two more to go and lots of laundry that goes along with that. When Dan got home he confirmed that the belt in the dryer had broke. After being on the phone with afew friends sharing my crappy day with them I did have afew friends and a mother in law offer their dryers. I wasn't feeling great myself though. Sat I didn't want to bring this sickness into anyone else's house. Dan's big idea was to string rope in the basement and hang stuff up down there. (gotta love him!) After searching the house he didn't come up with any rope so out and about Sat he went searching for a new dryer belt and rope. I'm thrilled to say we didn't need the rope and my dryer is fixed!! Sad to say that last night the flu bug got Kaitlin. I'm really hoping that Travis misses this and we'll be done with it, but I'm not holding my breath. We'll see what this next week brings.....Every little thing just makes me stronger so I'm trying to go with the flow and carry on with life. I'll keep you posted on how I make out with that :)
