Day 67 and Day 68

So yesterday I forgot to blog, can you believe that!! I was just turning the computer off (it takes forever to do) and then I remembered, of course by then it as too late to stop the process, so I took the day off!

Yesterday was a bit different sort of Monday, Florian had a meeting in Fulda. It was just a shame I had to work and we couldn't enjoy breakfast together. Instead Florian had breakfast with the boys, whilst I got myself to work. After his meeting he came home for lunch with us. And then..the bug struck him too...but fortunately not as bad as us, but not good.
Despite this he decided he could drive south, and fight it off down there. He got there safe and sound and with the medicine that Robert took by this morning he was OK again.

I went shopping in the afternoon to restock our cupboards, and i got a couple of extras too...The webstick is so that when we go away for Robert's convalescence I can still stay in touch with everyone! hopefully!

Tuesday
NOT a great start to the day today. Robert got a coughing fit about 5.30am and by 6.00am he was throwing up! AGH!! More washing and such, but I'll spare you the details.
The only good thing was that it really was only the coughing that caused it, so he was able to go to Kindergarden, and today would have been a big shame to miss. Cause they went to the Kinderakademie, where they have an exhibition all about wild rabbits. They went on the bus, so I didn't get to join them, which is a shame, but then again i did have to work.
Part of the exhibition involved them making Rabbit ears, here he is wearing his!CU tomorrow

Day 66

Well no new snow this morning, and we had a LOT of sunshine, shame about the cold wind...but it lifted the spirits to see some sunshine!
We went out for a walk after lunch. The boys were not too enthusiastic to start with, but enjoyed it once we were out. Even more so when we finished walking and they got to try out their bikes for the first time this year!

Here is a pic from our walk and one of them on their bikes (they were actually discussing the flag on Robert's bike)And I have to show you this one, see, even the snow couldn't stop this little piece of Spring finally showing through!(it's a snowdrop, just one, my uncle has a field of them, I have ONE every year!)

CU tomorrow

Day 65

I am feeling so much better today, shame it was spoilt by this sight when we got up this morning
and here I was thinking Spring was almost here!
Anyhow, I really did go to bed early (9.30pm) and apart from Richard needing a wee at 3.30am I slept through til the boys got us up. And I almost feel human again. I thought I was better than I was, cause when I started sorting out the laundry it was a bit much and I ended up sat on the floor sorting laundry - not done that before! So then I took it a bit easier!

Robert too was feeling a lot better, but I think it was cause he really really really wanted to go to his best friends birthday party. I watched him all morning and decided to let his friend's mum decide whether she wanted to have him. And she was really cool about it, all she wanted was for me to pack some clean clothes just in case! So at 1.30pm off he went to his party. Richard was a bit disappointed a) not to be going and b) that his friend Robert wasn't here to play with him.
I wish I had had the camera at hand when Robert came home, cause Richard didn't even let him come in before giving him a big hug! Too cute!

As Richard was missing out on birthday cake we had some cake at home too. Look at his little face when Daddy put the cream on it too!Robert isn't quite all better, cause he broke down in tears when we put him to bed, telling me that he had missed me so so much this afternoon. Cute but silly really, he wasn't gone for that long. I don't really know how the party went cause he was more interested in what we had been doing and was not very forthcoming with information about his day! So maybe more on that tomorrow
CU then

Day 64

This evening I am starting to feel human again, although I am really tired and will probably be off to bed in a minute. But I don't want to get too far behind. Thanks for all the well wishes, it helped, I'm sure.

The day yesterday started off ok, with Richard on the mend. Robert went to Kindergarden, all was fine until at about 4pm my stomach felt as though someone had kicked it. And by 5pm I had contacted Florian and told him to come home, I needed help.
He got home at 10pm to find me curled up on the couch, I think that is a first for a LONG while that I haven't been on the computer scrapping or blogging.
Unfortunately at midnight Robert too started with the bug. So it was a short night for all of us. I was up every 30minutes...and poor Florian had to keep tending to Robert and Richard.

Needless to say, I have no pics from yesterday.

Today I have one of Robert and me this morning, looking very sorry for ourselves.Florian got some medicine from the doctors for us, and that helped Robert with the "feeling sick" feeling.
I have managed to eat some banana and salt sticks, and am keeping up drinking. So hopefully tomorrow after some sleep I will be feeling even better.
CU then

Day 63

No blogging today - I caught Richard's tummy bug!
CU tomorrow

Day 61 and Day 62

So yesterday I wore myself out! Yep, the translation I was working on at work, just took everything out of me, it sometimes is hard work, especially when you are translating something that you just don't understand. The text was full of technical terms that neither me or my colleague had ever heard of. I only had part of the text so I couldn't even get a complete overview from the text...
So when I got home I just let the boys on the Wii and "vegged out" on the couch! Which I continued to do in the evening too..not quite I did work on my ADSR Challenge 7 layout (a bucket list, things I want to do before I pop my socks, or "kick the bucket" hence the title "Bucket list")
Yesterday Posty also bought a parcel for me, and my mobile phone arrived home all repaired! That was suppposed to be my picture that I took yesterday, but I was too lazy to take it, so I took it just a moment ago! But the idea was there yesterday!


Wednesday
So all plans for today were cancelled at 1am this morning, when Richard called me. He has a tummy bug and I will spare this poor blog any of the details, but I will say I was putting the washing machine on at 1.30am last night, and had we had warm water I would have been showering poor Richard too! But at that time of night we have the water heater turned off, so he had to make do with a luke warm wash.
Needless to say, neither Richard or me got a lot of sleep last night, and I spent most of the day washing some sort of bedding! And if wasn#t doing that i was cuddling my poor Richard. He had a very bad tummy ache and needed lots of TLC today! Here he is with his dish full of salt brezeln, all he could handle today.The TV was on all day for both of us, whilst the boys watched "Ice Age" this afternoon I fell asleep, something in the film woke me and I thought we had a strange cat in the lounge with us, if the boys had been older I think they would have had me locked up for acting so weird. So tonight I will be off to bed a lot earlier.
Keep your fingers xed for me, that we all get a good night's sleep. And that Robert doesn't catch it!
CU tomorrow

Day 60

Work today, nothing new there. This afternoon the boys insisted they wanted to play on the Wii, I actually let them fully expecting another tantrum from Richard, but it actually went well for longer than I expected, and when we did get to the part where he started having a paddy, I turned it off. Robert and I wanted to go for a walk (well sort of) but Richard was having none of it, and carried on his paddy for us.
Until I told them, they could try on my new shoes! And here are my models in my sandals!
Robert needs some practise on the plateau ones! hihi!

I had these ones on, when they were trying the shoes on, so they didn't get to wear them all!

So there you go everyone, my new shoes!
Alright here they are without the boys in them!

And this is really today's picture, Richard on the new blanket that we put on the couch today. We have had this patchwork blanket for a long while and I was always saying it is too good to sit on, but as Mum said, its no good sat in a plastic bag in a cupboard either. And Richard LOVES it! he sat all of his teddies on it with him, too cute!
