Well, what can I say? This week has been dominated by strep throat (throat infection to us UK people). All three kids, at the same time, have strep.
That’s been fun… although to be fair, only the 8yo has really been suffering. And, he was miserable, really miserable. The other two seem to have escaped relatively symptom free.
I felt so awful for the 8yo though, he had every symptom going; from sore throat to tiredness to fever to vomiting. He didn’t eat for a full two days. Isn’t it just the worst thing, to see your child suffer? I don’t think he’s ever been ill for so long before and it was horrible to watch. I would have done anything to make him feel better.
But, what with trips to the doctor, days off school, tired and grumpy (and bored) children and a fridge full of antibiotics; I have to say, it’s been a long week.
Here’s to an illness free week next week…
How has your week been, what would your word of the week be?

Oh no hon sorry to hear the kids have been unwell, and poor 8yo! Really hope he’s on the mend now and you can enjoy a relatively strep and stress free weekend. Hugs xxx
The weekend has been illness, although not accident, free! Sore throats have been replaced by grazes… :)
Oh no! Hope you all feel better soon xxx
Everyone is definitely on the mend, thankfully!
That is a lot of antibiotics! I hope your 8yo feels better soon. There is nothing worse than seeing your children suffer. X #WotW

It is indeed! It seems to have done the trick though :)
Oh Sara I’m sorry to hear that! It’s so horrid when the little people are poorly, especially all three at the same time. Hope they’re all feeling much better soon and that next week’s word is all about fun x
Thanks Michelle, they all seem recovered now and I’m hoping for a slightly more fun week next week x
Oh no :-( hope everyone is better soon xx
Thank, everyone is on the road to recovery now :)
So sorry to hear you’ve had such a rubbish week! It is just so horrible seeing your kid suffer. I hope they all feel better very soon xx
Thank you, all feeling much better and next week can only be better!
Oh no, sorry to hear that. Sounds an awful week. It is horrible to watch your little one when they’re ill. I hope everyone’s on the up now x Thanks for sharing with #WotW
It’s not been the best, but everyone seems to be recovered now, so next week will be better!
Oh Sara, I so feel for you. It’s not easy watching any of your children be poorly and it’s so draining on you too…but three at the same time?! Oh, here’s to you all getting better soon xx
At least it got it over with in one fell swoop! Thankfully everyone seems to be on the mend now :)
Hope your household is feeling much better soon, all those antibiotics should do the trick. I’m sure that stuff used to be banana or strawberry flavoured when I was a kid!
These ones are bubblegum flavoured, yeuch!
I’m sorry to hear you’ve had such a yucky week. Wishing everyone a speedy recovery xxx #WotW
Thank you Leigh, everyone is doing much better now :)
Not only is the summer long over, but with the children back at school those nasty illnesses start doing the rounds.
Strep throat isn’t nice and I do hope that you get by the rest of the winter relatively illness free.
Found your post on #WotW.
Oh, so do I! This was enough for me… Flu shots next week and hopefully that will be us :)
Thanks for the flu shot reminder! That had totally slipped my mind!…
Oh no, I really hope everyone is feeling better soon. It is tough watching your kids ill. x
Thankfully everyone has recovered now, this week will hopefully be much more fun :)
