We have two sick girls. Each with a different type of ick. One woke up in the night with thedreaded stomach virus!
Oh, December!
We have a real knack for getting stomach bugs in December. I've even blogged about a couple- 2012 2011. Plus there was the year Kevin and I got sick over Christmas in Columbia. And last year a stomach bug hit Lu right before Christmas and took me down on Eleanor's birthday :(. And of course I'll never ever forget 2005 when I was 9 months pregnant with Eleanor and landed in the hospital with a stomach virus.
What gives in December?
Not enough sleep- true
Too much sugar- also true
Lots of time around other people in enclosed spaces-yep
It might be too late for us this time around but those stomach bugs will be waiting all December long! So today I cleaned every surface with disinfectant wipes. I sprayed everything down with Lysol. I'm washing all sheets, towels, coats and any laundry just hanging around.
And I'm thinking positively.
We can make sleep a priority.
We can be smart about sugar.
And we can be careful about how much time we spend indoors.
Today I'm thankful for Lysol and cleaning wipes!
