Wow, I feel so out-of-it.

Right after my last post (Monday evening) Eliyahu joined Yehoshua with the stomach flu and I spent several hours consoling them, bathing them, and cleaning up (or trying to clean up) the messes. I got them settled about 2am, just as I started feeling sick myself.

What a fun way to spend Rosh Hashanah! (Not.) Joshua got up at 2am and took over caring for everyone (good thing he had the day off work!) as I spent the next 24 hours moving as little as possible and taking care of Ruth as needed.

Wednesday I felt somewhat better and Joshua started getting sick. So, we swapped places as the children continued to recover.

Now, tonight, the boys are actually sleeping in their own beds instead of on blankets on a shower curtain on their floor! (They begged to sleep on the floor again but I was ready to be able to walk through their room.)

Tomorrow, provided that we are all feeling okay, I'm hoping to get the carpets (living room and their bedroom) steam cleaned and the laundry caught up and just maybe our house won't smell like the flu.

I can hardly remember what day it is... what I had planned to blog about this week... I've got a stack of bills to pay and phone calls to make. I'm just glad I'm feeling well enough to look at a computer screen... walk outside... take a shower. Thank you, Yahweh!

P.S. I asked Joshua if I could just swap Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur this year since I fasted on Rosh Hashanah, but he said it doesn't work that way...
