Sick Kids

This week is ending with one of my kids back to school and the other in bed with a stomach virus. How I hate cleaning up vomit! My lungs are wheezing from disinfectant spray and Clorox bleach. You’ll have to excuse this short post. I’m exhausted from hearing the toilet flush over a half a dozen times last night.

I am taking care of my sick kid except I’m wearing a mask and gloves. And carrying my disinfectant spray. A mother’s battleground! How I hate stomach viruses. I just hope I can survive this without falling victim to the enemy!

About Mom’s Soap Box

Moms Soapbox is a forum for all of the fantastically ridiculous issues that face Moms (and Dads) in today's world of information overload and endless checklists on how to be the perfect parent. My intention is to break some stereotypes about what a Mother should be and share with my readers the experiences I have had in raising my two teenage sons while trying to juggle graduate school, a house full of responsibilities and a desire to go with my gut when it comes to parenting. My hope is to show that you can be comfortable enough with yourself and your family to show the world that it isn't a competition but rather a journey to learn and laugh as much as possible
