A Clean Start

It is kind of ironic really that we are scrubbing this house from top to bottom in preparation to place it on the market tomorrow. Why? Well this house has been felled by the super puke bug. It all started with Masyn back in Cranbrook on Dec 29th and has continued to fell each member of this household. We have all paid homage to the porcelain god many times and have not been exactly water efficient when it comes to toilet flushing and loads of laundry.

Luckily, it only felled me for Thursday night and I was feeling better by Friday at dinner time. Masyn is off and on again, while Kaelen has been trooping it out since Thursday night. The bug finally felled Super Hubby (who claims to never get sick) by hitting him hard at both ends last night. He is down and out likely for the day today which leaves me the daunting task of washing all of the walls, keeping up with the laundry, wiping brows and toilet bowls when a loved one is heaving and trying in vain to make this house appear like a show home. I mean, who on earth can make a house like a show home when you live in it with two children? Kudos to all of you who have made it through successfully.

Thankfully, I have my Ergo and will pop Masyn on my back in it seeing that she is only content as long as she is attached to me. And, with her on my back, I am sure that I can still get walls washed, laundry done, brows wiped, things packed away, vacuum ...... oh the list goes on. Is it that bad to secretly wish or fake for that matter that I am sick again? Oh to just be able to kick back on the couch ......

That's a long list of things to do! And with a baby strapped to you too...at least you can't say you didn't get your exercise! Hopefully that flu bug DISAPPEARS though...

I know it won't cure superbug but I found that pedialite really helps with the vomitting - for both children and adults (only sip it tho! it's very sweet).. hope everyone's feeling better soon!! and don't worry pretty soon you'll be putting your feet up in the new place :)

Whew! You've got a ton of things on your plate right now! I was only able to show our house to sell AFTER we'd moved out!!
