Being a nurse and working in three different hospitals exposes me to tons of nasty germs and pesky bugs. I try to stay healthy - I wash my hands until the are so dry they sometimes crack and bleed, I try to make sure I eat somewhat healthy, stay hydrated, and get as much sleep as possible with two toddlers. In spite of all this I occasionally coeme down with a virus.
This morning I woke up around 5am and was sick to my stomach, again and 6am and then 630am. I had the chills, a nasty productive cough, and a sore throat. Needless to say I didn't not attend the education day I had booked at work. I am incredibly lucky to have a nanny and she was already booked for the day since I was scheduled to work. She got to our house at 8am and I was able to go back to bed. By 130pm I was feeling guilty about lounging in bed and sent the nanny home. I still felt quite sick but the kids were napping and I figured by the time they got up I would be able to handle them until Shane got home.
By 330pm the beasts were bellowing from their beds and there was no way I could pretend not to hear them. I got them up and gave them some semblance of food that could count as snack. They were both crazy hyper literally running circles around me. I felt very outnumbered and not sure I could tame these tiny dragons. "I want to colour mom!" Isaac declared. This prompted the memory of bath crayons that I had hidden under the bathroom sink. "Want to colour in the bath? We can have a crazy coloured bubble bath party!" I said with all my enthusiasm. The gremlins *ahem* I mean children agreed to this.
I can not express my love of bath crayons in words! They are the BEST invention ever!!!!! It is the most lazy way to do a craft with the kids. They sat in the tub for 45 minutes and scribbled all over the tub. The bubbles turned a muddy mix of colours and the kids were delighted beyond belief. There was no mess to clean and both kids were clean. Best thing ever!!!! Now I can go back to bed and daddy is officially on duty. Time to go have some weird cough medicine dreams 😜
