This is ground control to the rest of the world.I have come in peace and here is my message :
Could everyone please leave their germs to themselves please ?!
Three weeks now since certain germs, viruses were admitted into my household, my sanctuary, my haven of peace and disruptred not just our family daily routine but our moral, our appetites, our well-being and testing my patience.
The little I have anyway.
We`ve had the stomach flu ( you know the one where you sleep with a bucket next to your bed) invading our home and it took its time attacking us one-by- one ! Two weeks, not that I`m counting......
Rosie was the last victim last Monday throwing up 11 times.
11 times, it ain`t an error.
I bought a RED bucket to make sure they wouldn`t miss it in the little hours of the night.
And when my kids throw up like there`s no tomorrow, who has the privilege of sleeping with them picking up the you know what and comforting the kids ?
Dr. Mom.
Where`s dad ?
Snoring in the other bedroom .
Who gets it next ?
You guessed it, the one and only.
I was praying I`d skip my turn , thinking there must be pardon for the moms who clean up the whole mess.
Don`t get me wrong, Pierre DOES help out.
It`s teamwork here.
Well it doesn`t work that way, life is not fair.
Then the common cold arrived, sneakily, cunningly, creeping up on us slowly, wickedly.
As usual, Félix-Antoine brings it home.
Germs stick to this kid like bees on honey.
Pierre gets it second ( confirmation that women are tougher than men ).
Usually Rose is next, then mom.
I have disinfected my house so well the hospital called to ask if they could operate on my kitchen table.
I declined.
But, nature is well done.
When you have kids, life prepares you for these situations GRADUALLY.
When my kids were newborns they would spit up after drinking milk.
then they`d poop in their diaper like there was an extra kitchen faucet in the diaper ( moms reading: you know what I`m talking about ).
Then when they started eating solid food, the spit up turned to vomit.
Solid food didn`t always agree with my kids.
So last Friday, after work, when the common cold crept up on me, I was a bit ticked off.
I `ve had it with germs.
Vitamins, disinfection, washing our hands till they crack open are now part of our routine. Anything to get my haven of peace back.
Hopefully soon, the sniffles, the red bucket, the coughing, the Pepto Bismol and Gravol are going to be just a bad memory.
I need the sleep.
I need the peace of mind.
I need a break.
On that ladies and germs ( just kidding ),
I wish you well, good health and take care of that immune system .
Did someone say brocoli ?
I`m off preparing a hot bowl of chicken soup, for the body but especially for the soul.
NO REST FOR THE WICKED.

Hey!
You're soooooooo right!
BTW, are we still working at the same place? Seems like it's been a lifetime since I saw you... I mean longer than a blink.
Good nite, K xx
Hellllooooooo gorgeous,
I know, Ms. Bourgeois where art thou ?
I was ( since last Thursday ) on my rollercoaster schedule: all my periods in one block.
Buuuuuuuut tomorrow, I have free periods: 3 I think anyway, my schedule is lighter.
Friday afternoon, I`m off and will go to UQTR woohoo.
I`ll swing by tomorrow, I got a very nice compliment and it also included you so I would like to share it.

OH crap!
not funny huh?! :P
Well, here it's sleepomonie.
Nobody's asleep befor 1 AM (and it's currently 1h08 AM).
Not because we have really something to do. We're just chilling.
But going to bed at 1h30 AM and waking up at 7h30 in the morining twice, not really pleasant (or plaaiiiiiiisant here:P).
I can't wait to decorate my christmas tree this week end at home! Can't wait! Did i already said it...can't wait! :)
Well, have nice holidays!
Take care of you and the little marmaille :P

Oh college life, brings back great memories .
Do it while you can......at my age......
X-mas tree, my favorite time of the year. We do ours around December 6-8 since it`s a natural one. Just going out to select one with the kids is a delight.
And with the snow we`ve had this week, bring the festivities on !!!
X-mas music, pyjamas, coffee ( preferably Irish coffee ) homemade cookies, vacation, bring it on already.
Didn`t I just say that ?
Hope you mamage to get some zzzzzzzz`s Jess.
Have a great holiday and talk to you real soon !!!!

Last time we had something new, it was before Ste-Catherine's day, and now, Christmas is knocking at the door.
Doesn't it ring you a (jingle) bell?
