Monday night I came down with the flu. I was sick all night Monday into Tuesday morning. I'm feeling much better now thanks but here is what I now know:
When Mom has the flu:
*A 6 year old misses school.
*Because the 6 year old misses school, the school calls wanting to know where your child is.
*That phone call throws the Dad off and the Dad tells the school that the 6 year old is sick.
*Nobody brushes their teeth...ALL DAY.
*Boys wear p.j.'s until noon.
*When Dad realizes it's lunch time, he decides to dress the kids and go to lunch.
*After an hour of getting kids dressed, Dad decides to order a pizza.
*Kids eat Pizza Hut and ice cream for lunch.
*A baby gets a bottle EVERY TIME she fusses!
*Kids eat candy every time they ask for a snack.
*A trampoline is way more fun when Dad is jumping with you.
*Dishes fill the sink faster then normal.
*Juice boxes are the drink of choice.
*A kitchen floor is stickier then normal.
*Nobody takes a nap.
*It's movie day...ALL DAY!
*By 3:00 everyone is crying.
*By 3:00 Dad is super grouchy!
*Kids poop alot more when Dad is on duty (note diet above!)
*By 4:00 Mom can hear Dad mumbling, "There is too much shit around this house."
(his words, not mine!)
*At 5:00 Mom is worried about the well being of everyone in the house and decides the flu will have to wait.
Here is what I now know:
If I were to die right now, this family would never eat another vegetable again in their life and their teeth would all fall out from not being brushed.
