Hectic - 15 Apr 08
That’s how life has been for the last week or more and its the reason for yet another spell of silence on Mad Eejits.
Where do we start? Well, Sarah’s dad had the flu. This meant Sarah had to work 6 days a week, rather than her normal 3 days, just to keep the family business ticking over. Which in turn meant we needed extra childcare for Ben, but unfortunately we didn’t even have his ‘normal’ childcare available as Sarah’s Mum had the flu too and my parent’s are away on holiday at the moment. On top of all this was the fact that it was my turn to be on-call for work, meaning I had to be contactable 24×7 and I had to handle a few late night issues during the week.
Fever - A Lovely Way to Burn? - 04 Jun 07
Ben certainly didn’t seem to think so when the poor little guy reached 40 degrees (about 104 in old money) by 4am on Friday night / Saturday morning.
It all started after my comments about ‘Man Flu’ in my previous post (nearly a week ago now). By late afternoon that day, real flu was setting in on me, complete with shivers, sweats and soreness. Sarah followed suit on Wednesday morning and we had to ship poor Ben off to his granny’s (where he had a great time, even with a cold) as neither of us was fit to look after him.
A Different Shade of Green - 29 May 07
‘Snot’ green to be precise.
It had to happen eventually and now it has – all 3 of us have picked up a cold at the same time. Ben had his first cold much earlier in the year, but thankfully, at that time, Sarah and I didn’t catch it (or not immediately at least). This time the scene must be comedic for any outside observers, with the 3 of us coughing and wiping runny noses, of which Ben’s is the worst. He’s only a little guy so where does all that mucus come from?
