Happy Homemaker 2023-10-23

Good morning

Last week Xavier was coughing alot so he stayed home with his dad (in telework) on Monday.  Tuesday he went to daycare but they called in the afternoon as he had a slight fever (which means 24 hours before going readmitted to daycare).

Wednesday, dh picked him up to come here and drove Anne-E to daycare.  Xavier even asked to go to bed by himself in the morning and slept over 1,5 hours but his general state wasn't so bad.  When he went to bed dh started vomiting - I think he had the 24-hour flu... he was quite sick.  So ds came to pick up xavier after his nap at noon (he did not want the flu in his house and I quite understand... I told dh you stay in the basement).  so I spent some time disenfecting the house. He slept downstairs and Thursday he was ok, not top, but ok.

Friday dh had another little bout of vomiting but was fine afterwards.  Saturday was housechores.

We are babysitting (also the dog) from Sunday noon to Tuesday morning as parents are in a chalet but ddil is also sick... it'll give her some time to rest but not fun not being able to enjoy it.  Took grandkids for burgers on Sunday night and went around the streets the show them Halloween decorations (not alot but those that decorate do it nicely).  

The both had coughing fits in the night a few times.  This morning dh just drove them to daycare... they got up later and we had to rush to get them ready (not used to that!).

I have a 3:30 dentist appointment to change a filling and dh will pick up grandkids around 4:15 - 4:30 but won't be doing much today - did not sleep well.
