Just as my twins recover from the violent sickness and diahorrea bug they have had for a week, they have graciously passed the germs on to another five of the children and me as well.
It has been pretty quiet with them both ill and sick. the laundry pile went up considerably as they systematically puked their way through the house on more than one occasion, and Caleb beat the crap out of Anya as he cannot get his head around the fact he is a twin and will NOT tolerate her sharing a knee, cuddle or in fact any part of me whatsoever, that he sees as his personal property!
So now I have had it, magnificent timing as ever, my masters assignment is due in this week, what a classic and all my courses are ending so there is a lot of work attached to these as well. As mentioned several of the children were ill too, so we have had to deal with this in its many forms. By Thursday I felt truly dreadful, so bad in fact that once the children were dressed and off to school I crawled back to bed and put books on the floor for the twins to play with. I didn't intend to dose but I did, for about ten minutes, they seized the opportunity, made for my makeup and plastered themselves, the cot, the windows and curtains and just about anything else they could lay their hands on with my lipstick! Not the cheap stuff but my MAC one!
Half an hour of clear up later, I was amazingly brighter, the shock of seeing them both jarred me out of my sick slumber its fair to say. I managed to survive the rest of the morning with the old tried and tested sucessful methos of briabry! Toast, cereal and Peppa Pig! and even managed to persaude them to an afternoon sleep before crawling onto the sofa myself.
It wasnt an easy day, I was thankful the next day was work, which I could not go to, but the twins still went to the childminder. I dont remeber a day in 25 years where I have been sick and not had a child too look after as well. It was a first! Theoretically speaking Martha was ill and at home, but at 15 thankfully slept till 2pm and only demanded a parcetomol from me!
So, with trying to construct 4,000 logical words at such a high level I have been off the radar. I have finnished now (hurrah) and start the next module next week!
