Before I start this post, let me just state for the record that I absolutely love and adore my husband and daughter. I am a very lucky woman to have them in my life ...
That being said ... this past weekend was the WORST weekend of my life. Let me just recount the ways this weekend SUCKED!!!!
1. Daughter got sick on Day 1. Threw up everywhere -- hubby was good in that he cleaned up her mess because I would have gagged if I had to. So, daughter hung and clung to me all day which was not too bad but did not sleep. Daughter and no sleep? NOT FUN.
2. Daughter still not feeling good on Day 2, I am not feeling great on Day 2. At 9:16, husband starts throwing up and being sick and continue until 5:30 at which point in time, I was convinced that i had to take him to the hospital. All of us pajama clad, I had to scramble to fine someone to take care of daughter, clean myself up to a certain level of acceptance and take husband to the ER for 5 hours. Whoo hoo! Daughter did not nap again and was a bit unhappy when we got home and she could not watch her "shows" (do not even get me started on that one).
3. Daughter is starting to feel better on Day 3 through hacking up a lung. Husband has to go see doctor again because he was so bad the day before. Husband cannot really do anything, daughter a bit whiny and clingy, house is a mess, laundry everywhere, yucky smells AND my in-laws are coming in 2 days with no food in the house. Can the fun keep coming? Oh and to end the night, daughter does not nap during the day. Wakes up essentially in the middle of the night and will not go back to sleep for nearly 2 hours. Good times.
4. Daughter still coughing but returning to normal self and husband among the living (sort of) again on Day 4. Still feeling mediocre myself but no time to not feel good, too many other things and people to take care of. Did lots of baking yesterday, just because ... daughter took a nap like she was supposed to and slept the whole night last night.
And now the 4 days of Christmas:
4 cancelled plans and sick filled days
3 sleepless nights
2 sick people
1 migraine headache
Happy holidays to anyone who reads this post -- all three of you. (Smile)

"Good times."
You poor poor momma. Nothing is worse than a sick munchkin, and I am not talking about your hubby.
