In good news, Lily is feeling much better today. She spent most of the day lying down, although she did walk to the store with Andy to get tomato soup for dinner.
In less good news, Andy woke up with a stomach bug at 2am and was out of action most of the day (although he did still help with afternoon kid stuff and dinner, when I started to fade at 3pm due to being up with Lily almost hourly until 2am)
In good news, I went to a cute play group today with the twins (should I be out when people at home are ill? Am I a super spreader? I don't know. Twins seemed fine) and a childminder told me how amazing our Nanny is. I think she's amazing, but it's always good to hear from others too.
In less good news, Ezra said he didn't feel well at dinner and proceeded to be sick.
In good news, 50% of my kids can reliably be sick in buckets or toilets and not on the floor!
In less good news, Ezra is off school for two days now. Lily can go back on Thursday. Ezra can go back on Friday.
In good news, before Ezra got ill he passed his swimming test and he's now a "green level" swimmer.

I really have no idea how this week is going to go. If the twins get this then our life will really go south for a bit. If the twins have it when I have it then that will be very south. If I get it after the twins then I probably can't do my half marathon on Sunday.
I'm supposed to be doing some shake out and taper runs this week. That's obviously not happening (the runs. I am hopeful I will get to run the half)

This morning I put up an out of office and haven't checked back at any work stuff. I didn't cancel any meetings. I just wasn't there. Remote work feels so odd sometimes. I *really* want to be in work and I'm so excited about my new job. I am terrible at doing things halfway and I knew I wouldn't be able to focus on kids if I allowed myself to check my work computer. I know work will be there later, but I would love to have more things sorted and arranged before I take a bunch of unpaid leave to cover family illnesses (I'm aware there is potential for me to be off through Friday now, with the quantity of kids and the quantity of sick)

It's 8pm. Time to do some more reading and get some sleep, who knows what chaos tonight will bring (hopefully just sleep)
On the plus side, I'm enjoying a 7 day copy of One Golden Summer by Carly Fortune
