For Real

Ok, so the majority of this week sucked. No if, ands or buts about it. It was pretty darn awful. Early Easter morning the Badger woke up sick and throwing up. He was so out of it he didn't know which Easter basket was his and just started pulling things out. He then fell asleep. Easter is when we usually do our family picture, all dressed up and so cutesy, didn't happen this year. Re-do. We found out he had scarlet fever which then began to make its way though our family, I got it, the Owl got it. Today we are on the mend, most are back to normal.

  1. Oh, no! I came down with Scarlet Fever several years ago and even my mild case was quite miserable. I can only imagine going through it as a family. So glad you're on the mend!

    Your tomato plants look lovely - so much promise in them! I hope this week is restorative for all of you <3

  3. I am so sorry the illness hit during a holiday, that is definitely no fun at all. I hope you can still get a family photo one day. I also hope everyone is feeling better. (I love instagram too)

  9. I just popped over to check in and can't believe I didn't see this post before!?!?! Oh my word! Scarlet Fever?? Momma, you deserve an award for the crummy week you had! Wow! Glad you all are on the mend. This is when blogland is hard, because in real life I would be offering to drop off meals or hold a sick child for you!

    1. I know! I couldn't believe other people had it too around the same time. Apparently it is a form of the strep virus and if caught early is no biggie. But it was definitely scary and strange as I was not familiar at all with the sickness or it's symptoms.
