The winter bugs have hit. This week saw the four younger children with coughs and colds. Now, Tiarnan was the only one who was properly unwell and actually had a temperature but they all figured it was worth a day being patients and watching DVD's instead of doing their chores. They also had a big sister who spoilt them with scotch pancakes and apple juice in bed so things were pretty good.
Although night time coughing drives us all mad and we've had more than the usual rate of calls in the early hours it has actually been nice to have a reason to change pace and clear the schedule. I always feel hassled these few weeks before Christmas, realising each day that I've missed some other final date and my to-do list is only expanding. So a bit of a breather has been nice and we thank our blessings that it is only a cough and that we got chicken pox (which is doing the rounds here) out of the way last year!
