I’m a Parent Get Me Out of Here!

This last fortnight has seen my poor family fighting bugs! No not of the creepy crawly kind but that of viruses that have led to sickness! 


A week ago the eldest got a temperature and couldn't keep food down for a little while then last night one by one my family fell sick around me. First baby, then hubby who I've never seen so ill and despite my efforts to try to separate the eldest from the bugs running riot throughout the house she succumbed to it too! Seeing your babies sick and feeling helpless to do anything I rang 111 for advice and they were very helpful. 


If you fall ill this winter make sure to drink plenty of water to flush it out of the system and get plenty of rest. I've CBeebies on for the girls and hubby is in bed. Don’t forget to look after yourself too if you are looking after poorly ones. I took myself out for a bit of fresh air earlier and did a little Christmas shopping.

    Hi Helena, it's horrible when the family falls foul to winter bugs. They can be particularly hard on the littlest members of the house.

    I am a firm believer in staying home and resting when ill and not soldiering on too much. One, it helps stop the spreading of bugs and secondly it aids recovery.

    I hope you are all fit, healthy and bug free very soon.

    Thank you for linking up to the #MMBC.

      Thanks Sarah. It finally caught up with me Friday night. I may have told my family I hated them at that time!

    Oh your poor little family. I hope they're all on the mend and feeling better. And wise words about looking after ourselves - I do think it's easy to forget when you're running around after others. But yes, lots of water, fresh air and Vitamin C certainly helps
    Hope they're all on the mend
