Here are some important numbers for you:
3= Members of our family that have the flu (mama is still going strong)
2= Puking sessions in the last 24 hrs
3= Times we had to open the windows to air out the 'blue' room-- where all the sick ones were located for most of the day--
0=Times Pickle complained about being sick
15=Times Pickle said "Good" when we asked him how he felt (even minutes after he puked)
2=Bathrooms disinfected
12=Chickens accounted for despite the flu hitting the farm
1=Chick with "sticky butt" (when it rains, it pours)
1= Little boy not thrilled (at all) with his first spring break!
???=Hours the boys have watched Hulu and Netflix. Poor Pick Pick and JJ have been so sick they could barely walk from room to room. Really, all they could do was lay on the couch and go between napping, sipping fluids, and watching movies. When Pickle thought he was going to puke, we had to pick him up and run him to the bathroom!
0=Fights J and I have gotten into despite being surrounded by puking/pooping children for the last 2-3 days
We are skipping J's family Easter gathering tomorrow as we are just too contagious and nasty! I'm hoping tomorrow will bring some warm, spring weather, in case we need to air out the house some more! I'm also praying that my boys start feeling better!
Trying out something new. A new way of living. A more simple life. One farmer. One farmer's wife. Two boys. Two rams. Six ewes. Two goats. Two pigs. Three rescue kittens. Nine hens. Two bee hives. Room to roam. Room to get dirty. Room to grow in mid-west soil. A wary farm wife because this is a new life for our family. But God is good and so are fresh eggs.
