So the stomach flu has hit us full force. Derek’s still under the weather, I’m queasy but trying to hold things together, Lizzie’s fussy but just threw up once yesterday (and maybe it was spit up), and Tommy has been throwing up today. Our house is the worst it’s ever been–mounds of dirty and clean laundry, carpet/upholstery cleaners out, dirty dishes, scattered toys, and buckets in strategic areas. Of course today was the day that our landlord decided to drop in unannounced and take pictures of the house to put it back up on the rental market. I was so embarassed–everyone who sees our house on craigslist is going to think we’re total slobs!–and I promised him that it will never be this bad when he brings people through.
We’re super bummed because today we were going to go downtown and have a picnic at Millenium Park with Tommy’s best friend–he’s been talking about his picnic with Reagan all week, and of course we had to cancel. He’s also been asking when our Bible study friends are coming over, and I had to cancel the small group potluck for tonight for obvious reasons! Tomorrow I was supposed to pick up my friend Joenay to take her to mom’s group at church, and the other friend she knows well is out of town. I hate cancelling things when we have only a week and a half left to see people and say goodbye!=(
Only a week and a half until you leave Chicago? That is crazy!
Feel better soon!!!
