That won't work

It has been a long few days -- having a sick family means I don't get a super lot of sleep but it also means that the kids as they start feeling better but are not well can't get outside as much as normal. This is about day ten of being sick and while nobody is well enough to be out in the cold Judah and Bekah (who got it towards the beginning) are showing signs of cabin fever.

For the last couple of hours I have been running from one mess to another. For example, Judah tried to "help" take Bekah's dress off by CUTTING off the buttons (resourceful I admit but COME ON!) Bekah decided to "wash" and has a soap factory in the bathroom, spilled water, crushed crackers, not to mention the little squabbles because he took her horse, she messed up his track, etc. To top matters off Koliah still is not feeling super great and has been quite fussy today unless he is being cuddled. I was reaching maximum about half an hour ago with too much input and I said to Koliah -- you know between you, Judah and your sister Bekah-boo I might have to take a trip to the nut house unless I can get a break. Judah was in the vicinity and came over, put his arm on my forearm and said -- if you go to the nut house I am going to!! :0)

Guess I need to buck up and pull my act together --- an escape doesn't look like a viable option today -- even to the nut house!
