Sick of Being Sick {I Hate The Winter Time 2012 Edition}

This is going to be a full-blown rant about the amount of sick that is in my house right now! Just warning you all, I am completely feeling sorry for my self and my family! Just sayin’

The boys have been sick for 3 weeks now! 3 WEEKS people. Not that 3 weeks is a big deal in and of itself. But before that, they were probably well for a week or two after another bout of illness.

You see, starting in about November at least one person has been sick in this house at any given time.

Carter, Evan and myself have all finished z packs this month. And yet, I got sick again. Evan had walking pneumonia two weeks ago and was put on a z pack, Carter then followed last week. They started feeling better when I started getting sick. I tried to fight it off, because really what mom has time to get sick!

Yesterday my fever spiked at 102 and I literally couldn’t get out of bed. So I got ANOTHER z pack (2 in one month because I am an over achiever!) and some good ol’ cough syrup with codeine.

While in a codeine sleep coma last night, apparently Carter threw up twice and Jeremy took care of him without bothering me. And this morning Evan woke up with another 102 temperature and coughing.

Fortunately, Jeremy NEVER gets sick! (You know since I officially wrote that, he will be the next victim) But thank God, Jeremy has an immune system of steal!

I’m almost to the point of giving up. I mean, come on! Enough is enough. I take amazing care of my family – not that I am tooting my own horn – but I do. We eat well in this house – whole foods majority of the time – with the occasional eating out. I make sure the kids eat their fruits and veggies and drink plenty of fluids. I don’t even let them fill up on juice, it’s water or milk with the one cup of orange juice in the morning. We exercise. We get enough rest. Jeremy and I make sure to keep a peaceful home.

So I don’t know why my kids are the sickest kids I know!

I’m done with sickness. And yet, we are one of the few families who have not experienced the apukealypse yet! As each one of my friends mention on Facebook that their family has been hit, the stress of knowing that it’s just a matter of time before I hear the dreaded, “mmmoooooommmm I threw up” in the middle of the night, keeps me awake at night!

How can one healthy family, be so unhealthy during the winter time? {throwing my hands up in the air}
