Today didn't go quite as I had planned. The school nurse called me to say that DS1 was not feeling well and wanted to go home. Since I was on my way to the ped for DS2 and DD's WCVs, I swung by and picked him up. Turns out he has strep. Turns out all the rest of us do too.
So, tomorrow is a quarantine day. There'll be WAY more TV than usual (as our usual is none), I bought a new Playmobil thing, we've got lots of new birthday presents to play with...it's supposed to be rainy. I'm trying to reframe it by thinking that this perhaps explains a lot of the whining we've been having, and YAY for antibiotics. DH and I are on penicillin, DD is on azithromax and the boys are on Amox. I had to do the Mommy walk of shame, i.e., calling people and saying "sorry I exposed your kid to strep."Hopefully I'll be forgiven.
My big hope is that this will explain why I've not been sleeping, and once I'm feeling better, that'll clear up.

THAT'S no reason for the Mommy Walk of Shame. Things like taking your kid to a birthday party with the first few chickenpox blisters popping up are a reason. Strep is invisible and often asymptomatic. What're you supposed to be, psychic or somethin'?
I hope you all feel better soon!
