SIck Days

I remember back when I had a job, if I suddenly came down with the stomach flu, all I had to do was dial my bosses number and say "vomit, cant come in, see youin a few days" and sleep until Im ALL better.
Well with two young kids, I cant call out sick, I cant care for them either, so what do i do? Its been a long time since Ive been OUT of commision. I mean Ill get the cold or the fever  but I can still grudgling muster up to slap together a pb&j sandwhich or whipe a tush with those hinderences. Now yesterday though, I had a WHOPPER Of a stomach virus. My guts coudnt have come out of me fast and furiously enough! And after they were all out and there wasnt a thing left to puke, I was left with my whole body aching and my tummy still sore. I was OUT. So I layed on the couch all day and didnt move. I managed to get up and change Eves diaper but after that Id lay back down in a faint. The kids made their usual mess at the start of the day, but i didnt get up to clean it up or have the energy to make Talon clean it up. I told Talon to make himself a sandwhich, since I coudnt get up, and Eve ate some of my saltine crackers along with an apple a plum and a handful of grapes. ofcourse she also took two saltine crackers and smooshed them into the floor then took great care to spread the love everywhere. Rory the kitten decided she wanted in on the action and grabbed the bag and shot out the room with it in her mouth, never to be seen again......atleast until Bob came home.
And when Bob DID get home, he just walked into the house looking around in shock. He said "You arent sick, you DIED!" I cant believe the place looks like this. Im still layed on the couch watching the fifth episode of TLCs Fabulous Cakes with Eve layed over my tummy and said "this is what the house looks like everyday I just get up and clean it before you come home" He looked at me with a new found respect. Or atleast I hope that was what the look was.
All in all, we made out okay. Mommy took a day off to get well. Eve didnt fall down, she did manage to rip the cover off of one of my favorite books "The Big Rumpus" so now instead of a cute baby face on the cover its just one eye and the word "THE".  Something sticky one the floor, and a misisng trashcan. Other than that, things are looking good. I spent the entire morning disenfecting the house, cause Im the female version of MONK. Its just what i do!
