Hmmm….what a “fun” week! We had another round of stomach flu…our third one in as many months. It started on Monday morning. Jared complained that morning that his stomach was hurting. It’s very unusual for him to try to get out of going to school, so I suspected he was actually sick, but still…he wasn’t throwing up or anything, so I sent him to school. I had a visiting teaching appointment that morning; I was just finishing up there when my cell phone rang—the number looked familiar, so I answered it. I wasn’t surprised when I heard the voice of the school nurse, but I was surprised when she said “I have Tanner here.” I went to pick up Tanner, and while I was there, I thought about having them call upstairs to see how Jared was doing, but I decided not to. I should have, though—I wasn’t home more than a half hour before I got another call from the school nurse—this time, it was for Jared!
Tanner didn’t seem all that sick at first, but he got much worse by evening and was truly miserable for several hours. Jared, on the other hand, seemed to feel a lot better and never threw up after I brought him home…just got sick that one time while at school. He certainly didn’t feel great, but by evening he was able to eat a little bit of soup. Scott made it through the school day, but came home saying his stomach hurt. He seemed to have a pretty mild version of the illness—never threw up—but he didn’t eat dinner that evening and he had a bad headache as well as a stomach ache.
Tanner asked for a blessing at bedtime and after Frank gave him a blessing, Tanner fell right to sleep. We let Tanner and Scott sleep on the couches in the living room so that they would be closer to the bathroom (there isn’t a bathroom in the basement, where their room is). Apparently, Tanner woke back up later and threw up a bunch more times, but he must have been very quiet about it because Frank and I didn’t hear him at all. And Frank and I were not sleeping peacefully, let me tell you, because Seth woke up around the time we were getting ready for bed, and he was up most of the night. He cried a lot, and kept thrashing around. I expected at any moment that he would throw up, too, but he didn’t. He finally settled down around 1:00 and slept pretty well for a couple of hours; then he started thrashing again. Poor Frank had to get up around 4:00 to go to work.
That’s about the time Tanner came upstairs to let me know he was still pretty sick—he was still throwing up, but nothing was coming up. We have a book written by a pediatrician, and she recommends when kids get like that to give them 1 tablespoon of soda every 10 minutes for 2 hours. If they throw up again, you have to wait an hour and start over, but if they don’t, then by the end of 2 hours they are usually starting to feel much better and you can try to give them crackers or toast. (We’ve tried this many times, and it really does work!) I had pity on Tanner and started him on this regimen, even though it was only 4:30 am, and I knew it would keep me up for the next 2 hours. Since Seth was in the bed with me, I had Tanner go lie down on the couch in Seth’s room, and I brought some cans of soda and the tablespoon measure upstairs so everything would be nearby when I needed it. I think I did drift off a couple of times in between doses, but never for more than a few minutes. After the two hours, Tanner was feeling better and he was able to go back to sleep.
By that time, Jared and Scott were both awake—still not feeling great, but much better than the night before. Seth woke up soon after, and I took him downstairs for a while, but soon he fell back asleep on my lap, and I was falling asleep sitting up, so I took him back to bed with me, and we didn’t wake back up until around 10:00. So I got some sleep, but I was still pretty tired and just drifted around the house in my pajamas most of the day, taking care of sick kids. The older boys were pretty low maintenance—they were happy to lie down with their laptops, playing games. They also watched a movie. Seth didn’t throw up that day, but he did have a pretty high fever and not much of an appetite. Frank had to work at three different locations that day and I was terrified he would fall asleep while driving, but he made it home safe although he was exhausted!
By Wednesday the older boys were all back in school, but Seth gagged and threw up a little bit that morning so I decided I’d better stay home. He still didn’t have much of an appetite, but he was able to eat a little bit and didn’t throw up again. By afternoon he seemed a lot perkier, and thankfully he slept great the next couple of nights. Meanwhile, Frank started to feel sick and came home early. He didn’t throw up, but his stomach hurt, his head hurt a lot, and he had the chills. He was still feeling pretty nasty on Thursday, so he stayed home, but he still put in over 8 hours doing work remotely. By Friday he was able to go back to work although he still wasn’t feeling top notch. I started feeling kind of funny last night and I’m still not feeling great today, so I’m trying to just take it easy (kind of a bummer—I was hoping to go to the temple today). I really want (and need) to be at church tomorrow, so I’m hoping I just have a mild case and will be back on my feet tomorrow. So far, so good.
Now that I’ve given you a play-by-play of everybody’s illnesses, I’ll move on! We did do a few fun things this week. On Sunday we had one of Frank’s home teaching families over for dinner. They have 4 girls between the ages of 20 and 10; they also brought along another 10 year old girl from our ward. We played games (speed Uno and another game that they brought; I forget the name of it, but it was fun) and then had dinner. They all loved the Mexican chicken we made in the crock pot. We enjoyed visiting and getting to know them better. It was fun for me to have girls in the house—for once, the girls outnumbered the boys! I just hope they didn’t all get sick this week!
Monday morning I had to take Scott to Seminary and then pick him up afterwards to take him to school, because the girl who normally gives him a ride didn’t wake up in time to get to Seminary that day. Seth woke up right before I had to leave to pick Scott up—he probably would have gone back to sleep if I had left him alone, but I didn’t dare do that when I was about to leave (Jared and Tanner were still asleep), so I took Seth with me. I got over to the church a couple of minutes before the kids got out of Seminary. It was worth the inconvenience to pick him up that day because it is just amazing to see those kids coming out of Seminary in the morning! I don’t even know if I can put it into words, but there is just a look and feeling about them that is so different than the other kids their age. I’m sure they don’t even realize it, but they really shine. I just had the most powerful feeling come over me, watching them, that it brought tears to my eyes! It’s a real sacrifice for them to get up so early every school day, but wow, does it show in their countenances. I’m so grateful Scott gets this “spiritual boost” every day before going to school, where I’m sure the atmosphere is not very wholesome.
Tuesday was book chat, but I missed it since that was the day all the boys were home sick and I hadn’t had much sleep. That was a bummer, since I missed it last month too, but it couldn’t be helped. I didn’t want to spread around our illness, either. I was also invited Monday morning to join a bunch of women in our ward on a trip to the temple on Thursday to do initiatories. They were going to go to the bookstore afterwards, also. That sounded so wonderful that I decided to try to get a babysitter for Seth and go with them, but then when everybody started getting sick I gave up on that! I figured even if everyone else was well, I would probably be coming down with it by then. (Thankfully, I wasn’t—but Frank was pretty miserable that day and I would have felt bad leaving him.)
The boys were all well enough to go to scouts on Wednesday evening. The older two boys had a “white elephant” gift exchange which apparently was a big hit with all the youth. I had a Cub Committee meeting that evening, so we got home pretty late.
Tanner had a field trip on Thursday—they went to see a performance of “A Christmas Carol”. They have been studying Dickens in Language Arts, so it’s nice that they could go see one of his plays. Their school is located in downtown Frederick, so they are near a lot of cultural places and they were able to walk to the play. On Friday they had a “Dickens Party”, and he had to dress up for that—no modern clothes allowed! So he wore his Sunday suit for that.
On Monday when everybody started getting sick, I kind of panicked. I still had some Christmas shopping to do, and I envisioned being stuck at home all week—either with sick kids or sick myself. So after I got Jared and Tanner settled at home and Seth down for a nap, I realized that now was my chance! So I ran out and got all my shopping done and got home before Seth woke up. It feels good to be done with that! I had a few projects I wanted to get done also, but unfortunately that isn’t going to happen. I’m sure Christmas will come and be wonderful anyway!
There’s been a lot of fun “secret” Christmas things going on around here, also. Last week we drew names to do secret service for each other. This is a tradition that we started last year, in the hopes that we would have more love and harmony in our home during the Christmas season. The idea is to try to be extra nice to the person who’s name you draw. We’ve encouraged the boys to do nice things for that person in secret, but we also give them a couple of dollars to buy a few treats for their person. It’s been fun seeing all the little treats show up around the house, on people’s pillows or in their stockings. I don’t think the boys have really caught the true spirit of the whole thing yet, though. One of them will say “Whoever has me, I’d really like some candy!” Maybe it will sink in eventually, though.
Meanwhile, we also started our other secret service tradition on Saturday, which is to do a “12 Days of Christmas” for another family. I think this is our 6th year doing this, and it has become a favorite tradition for all of us. (Frank gets all the credit—it was his idea!) We always talk about it as a family and together we pick a family that we really feel could use some extra Christmas cheer. Then we leave little Christmas treats anonymously at their door for 12 nights in a row, finishing up on Christmas Eve. I enjoy planning the treats, and the boys get a big kick out of leaving things at the door, ringing the doorbell, and running! The funny thing this year is that someone else has decided to do the same thing for us! (They started a day later than we did, though, so I guess they are planning to finish on Christmas Day.) The first night we got a stretchy Mr. Fantastic toy which unfortunately must have been in the box for several years because it had dried out and doesn’t work. But since then we have been getting brownies, cupcakes, a cake roll, a big bottle of root beer, a beautiful candle…. It’s been fun; we all look forward to evening to find out what little thing is coming that night!
As I mentioned, Frank did go to work on Friday—I was spoiled having him around the last couple of Fridays! I spent the day reading books to Seth and washing about 5 loads of bedding—trying to get rid of all the germs! After school I took the boys shopping to get gifts for each other. It took a lot longer than I would have liked (focus, guys!) but we got done. Tanner and Scott were supposed to have a camp out that night, but I decided not to send them. I felt like their resistance to illness was still too low to send them out in the rainy cold, and besides they both had birthday parties they would miss if they went. I knew that wouldn’t go over too well with either of them—we’re trying to keep a positive attitude about scouts! Then I found out later that the camp out got cancelled anyway.
Scott’s party was last night; it was a sleep over party for a friend in the ward. We took him over to that and then Frank and I went out to eat (we took Seth with us). We had a gift card a friend gave Frank as a “thank you” for Frank fixing his computer. I appreciate that—a lot of people ask him to solve computer problems for them and never think to do anything in return. Don’t get me wrong—I think it is important to help others when we can, but it does take a lot of his time sometimes and I think people do take advantage of him quite often. It is nice when someone recognizes that it is his profession and that they would have had to pay someone else to do what he does. Anyway, I digress—the food was really yummy and Seth behaved very well. We had a nice time, but I was starting to feel the beginnings of illness by the time we got home.
Tanner is gone to his party right now. It’s for a friend from school, and they are taking him to an indoor water park / slide. Sounds pretty fun! He won’t be home until late. Two other kids from the school are also at the party, and they had worked out carpooling together. Then one of them heard that Tanner was also invited, so they called and offered to take Tanner and bring him home also. Very nice—especially since the birthday boy lives about a half hour’s drive from here! Hopefully, he will have fun.
I saw on the news one morning a report on the bowl games—the fact that tickets are not selling like they usually do, because of the recession. I turned to Frank and said “It’s interesting to see what’s happening now that everybody is starting to live like….the way we do, all the time!” Not that we are perfect about managing our money, but I know the country wouldn’t be in this kind of trouble if everyone else were as careful as we always try to be. As in, if you can’t afford it, give it up! Ok, I feel a little hypocritical saying that right now because I do spend more at Christmas time than I really should. I spend most of the year telling the boys “No, we can’t afford that.” So at Christmas I let it go a little! I love buying gifts for people—it is one of my weaknesses. But the rest of the year I’m really good most of the time.
It’s been raining a lot this week again, which I guess is sad for people like Frank, who love snow, but the rain has not dampened my Christmas spirit at all! I don’t like cold, and I find myself remarkably cheerful as I go about under the typical gray December sky. Something about the color of the sky and the feel of the air just reminds me of Christmas, and stirs memories from as far back as I can remember. I never know when those memories are going to surface, but it happens pretty frequently, and it always brings a big smile to my face. I love this time of year! I love the way it makes me feel—joyful, way deep down inside!
Seth is just doing cute things all the time—I’m sure I’m forgetting most of them! One thing he did last week, though. Frank was offering to play with him, and he told Seth to go get a ball so they could play. Seth immediately ran to the Christmas tree and pulled off one of the ball shaped ornaments!
In between everything else this week, I read the book Twilight. I was always hearing about that series and I had decided that I needed to get around to reading it eventually—just to see what the excitement was all about! So when a friend offered to loan me her copies, I took her up on it. It is easy reading; it’s hard to believe I finished the whole thing in the little snatches of time I had to read. I enjoyed the book—it’s just pure entertainment, as far as I’m concerned. Not much to provoke deep thought, just entertaining. We all need books like that sometimes!
Well, I need to finish getting some things ready for Sharing Time before the day is over (hopefully I’ll be doing it myself, not passing it off to someone else!) so I will post this and try to get going on that. Everybody have a wonderful Christmas!

Ditto on the spending thing. It's funny to hear people are 'cutting' back when it's the basic principle of living within your means. We too spend more at Christmas than we should but not into debt. I really want to try to give up presents to each other (in our little family) than the Santa one and give our money to those who really need it. Like someone said that I was talking to--what do we really need? If we need it we buy it, right? Sorry to ramble! Happy Holidays and I hope you are done with the stomach stuff!
I like your ramblings! Unfortunately, we're not done with the stomach stuff yet...Frank is really sick again today. But I've been feeling better, and made it to church, thankfully!
