Sick! Sick! Sick! Everyone has had the flu in our house in the past 2 weeks. I don't remember if my sleep was ever this interrupted by a newborn...unbelievable! Luckily, it is only a 24 bug for everyone except Tyler (he is taking a little longer to completely get over it), but it is so intense that it takes days and days to get any strength back! There has seemed to be about a 4 day incubation in between everyone getting it, so if I can get through Sunday with no relapses, I think we will finally be in the clear and I can get back to somewhat normal routine. Not to mention, laundry, laundry, laundry. I have done more laundry in the past two weeks than I normally do in two months! Crazy!
So, what can I say that is good about it? Well, I have been able to take more naps during the day (even though I would rather just get a good night sleep). And also, Tyler has started to watch a little bit of cartoons while he has been sick, and it is really nice when your kids will start watching a cartoon or two so that you can finally get something done. Say what you will about the TV being a babysitter, and that moms are bad for letting their kids watch at a young age....Austin learned how to write words at the age of 2 from watching Blues Clues! (I am not even exaggerating)! And Tyler is quite the "little destructor", so if he can be entertained by Sesame Street so that I can unload a dishwasher, then "yea" for me!
Guess blogging time is over...messes to clean, babies to hold, diapers to change, laundry to do, sleep to deprive, etc. etc. etc....

Oh Summer, you poor thing! The bright side is that hopefully since everyone has gotten it, maybe your family will be safe for a while. I will cross my fingers for you!:) Hang in there!
