Sickness

Dear Life,

The time between Thanksgiving and New Years was marked with a ridiculous amount of sickness in our family. All four of us got the stomach flu early in the morning the Sunday after Thanksgiving before our family had all even left. and it lasted. and lasted. and lasted for the girls. And finally, after several trips to the doctor, many episodes of puking, and over a month of diarrhea for Piper, it ended. Three days ago.

And now, just moments ago, as I was crawling into bed and Jordan was walking out the door to work, Emberly started puking again. Literally hours after our family left again. And I'm maybe panicking a little, and praying this is not starting all over again. Cuz I'm just not sure I can do it again.

Now I'm rocking an upset bambino, hoping she isn't sick too. And praying that this is some kind of fluke. Praying that sleep will still come tonight. And praying any hint of sickness will leave us alone.

Sigh.
