Everyone in my house is sick.

Except me. Even Mina threw up. Which, OMG, an infant throwing up (not spitting up) is the worst thing ever. It took me an hour to calm down after it happened. I felt so helpless and she was so upset.

I feel captive right now. I have a ton of work to do, errands to run, and bathroom reno tasks but I can't do any of them because I'm caring for everyone. I told the nanny she didn't have to come because it seems pretty contagious. I have 3 deadlines this week!

We are so rarely sick. It is making me nuts. What do I do? Clean all the doorknobs and surfaces with anti-bac? Anything else to help?

Oh ick! Hopefully it's just a quick bug and everyone is better fast!
I'm not always the best about sanitizing after an illness but the things I do include Clorox wiping the most played with toys, washing all the bedding and towels and mopping the floor. Those things seem to "air" the place out faster and "sanitize" better than things like doorknobs etc.
I also make sure the sippy cups get a good run through the dishwasher too.

Not fun! My daughter and I have been sick for the past month... literally. I went out and got vitamins since I do think they help the immune system. Don't forget to replace toothbrushes when eveyone starts to feel better. I also replace/wash handtowels every day when someone is sick.

I vote for Lysol. On ALL the things.

Seriously ... blech, I'm so sorry.
