The Plague House

So our house is disgusting. We have been sick, ALL OF US, since pretty much the buddy walk post a few weeks ago.

Faith got it first from her daycare we think. She threw up TWO WEEKS AGO tomorrow, and was home for school the next two days. I got it after her and was out of commission for five days. Tanner was next and bounced back after only missing a day of school. Jake got it and rallied, then really got it and missed two days of school. The whole time Marisa didn't feel right, but never got sick. She was well enough to be making snide comments, "Well I guess you're not in such great shape after all, are you?" and, "How about those great vitamins of yours now?". Then she went out of town for ONE night on business.

She was fine, walked in the door when she got back home, was throwing up less than five hours later, and was down and out all day today. I don't know what to do. At this point, there is not a bathroom that hasn't been thrown up in (or worse), I have washed every set of bed sheets at least once. There have three vomit etc. (ugh!) specific loads of laundry and the carpet between the kids bedroom and the hall bath looks like a trauma scene. I Cloroxed every surface in the house today; doorknobs, light switches, counters, faucets, computers etc. But don't know what else to do at this point (other then lighting the carpet on fire...).

It's not H1N1 (although that's the OH SO FUNNY neighborhood joke), as it's just stomach issues, no fever, no cough, congestion etc. So I don't know what in the hell we have. Plus it's not like I'm takling anyone to the doctors office to find out what it is, and catch H1N1 there, we're just self medicating with TV and Gatorade. Now come to find out that our daycare providers daughter has been home with H1N1 for the last week, and to answer your question..... yes OF COURSE our kids were there this week.

We promise to either have the house cleaned/santized and germ free by the time everyone comes for Christmas, or we'll move into a new house before you arrive (after the board of health condems this one).
