Sick....

It's a mother's nightmare.. when the whole family is sick.

Well, it all started when my dearest hubby went to the cinema to watch 2012 (at least the movie was good)....and came back with germs and all.... He got sick, and spread it to me and the kids.... and then he got well, and got sick again!!!!! (yes, hubby still goes to the cinema, although I can't go!!!! )

I think poor Kenneth is the one who took the biggest hit with this germ spread. At first, he had flu. I insisted on taking him to the doc this time, instead of just letting the virus run its course, like the last time. The doctor prescribed antihistamine, and no antibiotics. Then, a few days later, the dreaded fever starts.... panadol did not do its trick this time. I got worried about swine flu. So, off we went to the doc again.... the doctor was cool. He said if we wanted to check, he could write us a note and get Kenneth to be tested at the government hospitals for swine flu. However, he does not recommend tamiflu, even if it's tested positive. And he thinks Kenneth is ok. Not too serious. Just treat it as a normal viral flu. But this time round, Kenneth was put on antibiotics, as his throat is red... Well, I hope Kenneth will recover soon....

And to make things worse, I sprained my back, and have a dreadful cough. Without sufficient sleep, and with a sick child and a sick hubby, and still having to do all the housework and cooking.....aiyai ya yai yahhhhh..... how I wish I do have some house help now!!!!! It's really back breaking for me.

ohhhhh......also, you should see how pleasantly surprised hubby was when the doc did not charge us the 2nd time round for Kenneth!!!! Hubby went like "Free????? sure????" ..... well, little pleasures in life ......

Also, the weather has turned from really hot to suddenly, really cold. I have never in my life imagined that I could experience winter in Middle East....How ignorant I was last time.... and hubby just had a long 5-day weekend coz of the Haj holiday. He couldn't wait to go back to work today!!!!! Coz the kids were already giving him a headache.

Just a week ago, when I was disciplining Rachel, he softly stepped in and asked me to be more reasonable and less strict on his darling girl. After this 5 days with his darling girl, I think he knows why I scream and shout at the kids like how I do...... Give him another 2 days, and he will willingly go back to work FOR FREE!!!!! Hmmmmpppphhhh....who says a SAHM has the best of life, I need to slap that person left and right.......literally slap some sense into that someone..... I seriously think a housewife (or home maker if I put it nicely), especially one without any house help has the world's most difficult and under-appreciated job!!!!!
