1. You know what happens when your daughter gets sick
2. you almost burn your house down
3. you have to wash every single solitary piece of bedding
4. and clothing
5. and all the rugs to get the smoke smell out
6. and then your son gets sick and vomits all over you all night
7. and you have friends coming in the same day
8. that you have to drive your son to Camp Primo: Snow Jam
9. and clean the house all in one day?
10. You don’t write a Top Ten post. That’s what.

yuck! π
Gwen T says
I’d say just the first 5 reasons are good enough reason to not write a Top Ten post!! Hope all gets better soon — and as the mother of 7 I must say that stories like yours today just make for great stories down the road!!
oh amanda says
So true! Actually…it’s already kinda been a great story! I mean, how does all that happen in ONE week?!
Betsy (Eco-novice) says
Oh, yuck. I hate stomach bugs. Hate hate hate. I meant to have a top 10 post, but it ballooned into Top Twelve (my link title is supposed to say 10 (+2) but it didn’t work out I guess. It still alliterates, right?
oh amanda says
LOVE your post today! π
Kari says
Ugh…what a week! I’m so sorry! Hope the kids feel better soon and you don’t catch the crud.
oh amanda says
Thanks, kari! I know, when Asa was throwing up all over me, I’m praying, “Protect me!” π
Tiffany @ No Ordinary Homestead says
π Sorry to hear about all the bugs flying around the house. And hey, I have lately become famous for leaving things in the oven until they are nearly crispy…and not because they’re supposed to be that way. We may be superwomen most of the time, but sometimes, we also have our off days and weeks. This too shall pass! Stay healthy and enjoy your company π
oh amanda says
Thanks, Tiff! Leaving stuff in the oven/on the stove is just the WORST. I keep going back to that minute where I should have turned and remembered it was on. Gah!
Ashley Pichea says
So sorry your daughter is feeling cruddy! I pray God grants you some supernatural strength today as you care for her along with all you other daily activities!
Bev (The Make Your Own Zone) says
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day and letting me know about your top ten Tuesdays. Hope all is back to normal at your home soon . . . having sick kids is no fun.
Sherry says
Ugh! Definitely no fun! Praying y’all feel better.
ICStarzz says

Alicia's Homemaking says
Oooooooh NO! Hope everything is righted soon. *HATE* the stomach bug. Especially when kids get it!
Kelsey says
Oh no! Sounds like a rough week. Praying for a healthy family!
Tara Cherry says
Sorry that your daughter has been sick and for all the craziness you have been through. You totally deserved to take the day off, ya know. But thanks for posting anyway π

vanessa says

oh amanda says
Oh, yuck, Vanessa! Thankfully Lydia and Asa were only sick for like 2 days. But *shudder* it’s just gross. Praying L & J get well soon! {Is B in town? Do you need some help?}
Sarah says
Oh man, I hope everyone feels better soon. A family full of sickies is just the worst.
Kristin Cherwinski says
The plus side to your craziness is that it can truly only get better from here right?!
Sounds like you have had a week that many would say “Pass Please”! Hope everyone gets back to feeling better soon!
Miranda says
Oh yuckies, I hate being sick and seeing your child(ren) be sick is even worse! Hoping for you guys to have a quick recovery.
Jennifer says
I *almost* did a top ten post on how I’m sooo close to getting my M.D.–husband out of town, three kids sick, three doctor’s appointments in seven days. I feel your pain. And I feel like I know a ton about antibiotics.
Aiming4Simple says
I am astounded that you could write a post at all, much less a creative entry like this! I hope the rest of your week is blessedly uneventful.
Alisha says
This linky tool hates me.. I cannot get my links to show up. It acts like it works but they never show up π
