It all started last wednesday when one of the kids I look after got sick...wednesday night, another kid was sick...thursday, I was sick...friday I was still kinda sick...yesterday Bill was sick. Whew!
When I was sick I still had to look after one of the kids which wasn't conducive to getting much rest...but since she wasn't too well either, we mostly just vegged out all day. When Bill got home he was nice enough to go to the store to get me some gingerale...it's nice to be taken care of...even if he did forget the peppermints ;)
Yesterday it was my turn to repay the favor. Bill wasn't feeling well so he came home before lunch to rest. I had three young kids here and it took a lot of extra energy to try to keep them semi-quiet...but when it comes to a 23 month old, no-can-do! Bill is a light sleeper and I really wanted him to be able to rest...even if I didn't have that luxury when I was sick. I'm always taking care of other people, but usually the only time I get to "take care" of Bill is when he's sick...and even though I don't like it when he's sick, there's a small part of me that can't help but enjoy taking care of him.
Now that everyone here has had 'whatever it was', I hope that we can keep from getting it all over again. Although sicky Bill did kiss me last night...uh oh.........................................................
