Cass, bummer about the gastro. My words of wisdom are: if you are racing to the loo for the poo/spew double, make sure you sit on the toilet and spew on the floor, 'cos the other way around is just so much worse!

Isa,

MD, can you level with the IL's and just ask them to take the girls out to the park/zoo/pool/anywhere because you have an assignment due and need to get some study done? As for the pox, I am going to say (based on nothing) that because she got the rash after the vacc she will not get it now.

Well yesterday was a disaster! Got hit with a massive bout of MS, the all-day nausea where you just want to curl up and cry somewhere. I can't believe I lived like that every day for two months with W! DH was away hunting and I sent a heap of increasing desperate text messages to him, but by the time he received them at lunch time, he and his hunting buddy had split up with plans to return to the truck at 4pm so he couldn't come back. Then I sent a bunch of ...not very nice....messages at 5pm for not letting me know what was happening for tea etc, until he replied that it was only just 4pm and I had forgotten about daylight savings lol. Anyhow, DH got tea ready and did the night shift so I got a full night in my own bed. Feeling better today thankfully.
Now W has "poo farts", so I guess I will keep him home from kindy today.
