Nothing exciting to report here. Well both kids are at home sick again today. Grand Master D went yesterday but I had to force him and he still called at lunch to come home. I don’t know what’s wrong, both are complaining of stomach pain and diarrhea and vomiting on and off. Last time Miss Gremlin had this she was diagnosed with constipation… WTF? Anyway, I’m treating it as such this time too. They haven’t eaten anything to make me think otherwise. Grand Master D as you probably know had serious ‘shit’ happening in Nov/Dec, stomach bug, parasite, constipation all on top of each other to exacerbate the situation and keep me guessing.
I’m not feeling very nurturing, but they’re not needing anything either, they either sleep or do some online work but I feel trapped. It’s strange, I feel like I have failed because they’re not at school absorbing what’s required to pass the stupid tests and keep the attendance up so the state will pay the schools but on the other hand I know that they are not seriously ill and so I’m frustrated that I can’t get them to go.
Yes they are genuinely in pain, the ‘double over’ isn’t a fake move but I’m annoyed at them and then I’m annoyed at myself because I should have more sympathy. I found Grand Master D asleep on the bathroom floor this morning because he was vomiting overnight so he’s genuinely ill but I still want him to buck up and go to school.
What’s wrong with me? Am I just being a whiny ass? I’m just so frustrated all the time. I even went to bed early…. it doesn’t help by the way.
Oh yeah, Happy Hump Day. Maybe that’s my problem. Hook Up over here if the mood strikes you. 🙂

You are NOT a whiny ass. When kids get one flu after another, life feels interrupted. Not simply inconvenienced. Schools make it very difficult for kids to stay healthy because of their industrial worker structure. YET they don’t want that shit spreading around to other kids. It has been a very long winter with extreme bouts of cabin fever. Take a bath. Keep them home. See if the teacher can email assignments. Give them BRAT foods (bread, rice applesauce, toast) and let it work out.
AND have a bottle of wine on me.

Thanks Darling. I basically ignored them. They’ve not had any issue today so they are going to school.
There’s nothing wrong with you. As women, we tend to feel that. I guess it’s more because of hormones.
