Today is Thanksgiving and all of my kiddos are sick!

LJGZsmom · **Today is Thanksgiving and all of my kiddos are sick!**

Late last night my oldest said her tummy wasn't feeling well, five minutes later threw up everywhere. And continued to throw up every thirty minutes for the next six hours. It was awful. She was so sick and neither of us slept all night. We still went to my mom's and she slept in my mom's room all day. Then about 2pm my son said he wasn't feeling well either. Then within the next twenty or so minutes my other two kids say they are not feeling well. Minutes later they are all four throwing up like crazy!

So we grabbed towels, buckets and headed home. Between all four of them, we had six throw-ups on the twenty minute drive home. Poor babies!!

I blame it on my sister!

I babysit her kids. And she brought her three year old to me Monday even though she was sick and had been up all night throwing up. Then Tuesday her one year old was sick. She is not happy with me now, but I told her they are not to be here when they are sick anymore. For one, they need to be home in bed being taken care of by their mommy. Second I don't want my kids sick. If they get sick they miss school and I hate when my babies are sick. Third, if my hubby gets sick he misses work...and without pay! And fourth if I get sick who will take care of all of them!! We are very close and I am so sorry she is mad, but when your kids are sick you miss work and care for them!!! Okay, I will stop venting now.

Oh my poor sicky babies!

That is so inconsiderate. I wish parents would keep their children home when they are sick. Now your children are suffering.

You poor thing!

My girls & I were sick for Thanksgiving also. They weren't throwing up. We had a fever and sore throat.

Hope everyone is well soon.

How awful! My daughter had the throwing up thing about three years ago. She gave it to me, my husband, my mother and before we were through the entire group home of teenage boys (minus the one that was in New York that weekend) had it. It was a disgusting weekend.

Hope they feel better soon. Nothing worse than throwing up kids.

Gosh, I hope everyone is feeling better soon. We have colds here and I don't have a voice but that I can deal with. The throwing up is the worst.

I did daycare several years ago and everyone else's sick kids is why I quite. I had a lady bring her daughter when she was sick. I ended up calling her to get her because she was really really sick and it turned out she had scarlet fever.

Anyways, hope all is better soon. And Happy Thanksgiving

Oh, I feel for you. I hope everyone is feeling a little better & i'm crossing my fingers for you that you stay well. Take care of yourself & try to get some sleep. You had a right to tell your sister how you felt.

Oh my gosh what a night we had ladies! All finally settled down about 9pm so we went to bed. By 1am we had another round of throwing up and diaharea (sp) from three of the kids. It was awful. We finally went back to bed about 4am, back up at 6am, then back to bed till 9:30. We were going to put up the Christmas decorations today, but I think my day is full with washing bedding, sleeping bags, pillows and clothes! Maybe a nap if I am lucky! My neice and nephew only had it for 24 hours so I am praying my kids are over it by the end of today. Thank you all for the well wishes!
