Holiday Decorating Mood Lift

So.

Let’s say your son has been a revolving door of sick ick for weeks on end and finally gets his RSV well enough under control to finally return to school.

But then, the very next morning, your beloved middle-born spikes a fever with a side dose of leaky faucet nose that’s incessant enough to produce a pile o’ tissues of this magnitude:

So…let’s say said middle-born is home sick with you, alone and soaking up the parental devotion—until you get a call in the afternoon from the school nurse, who has your son in her clinic with a headache and fever, just ONE DAY after his return to school.

Aaaaaaand one kid becomes two—and the pile of tissues grows.



Now. Let’s say you take them in to the pediatrician for everyone’s favorite two-for-the-price-of-one nasal swabs then next morning, and eventually confirm you’re a winner.

Yup. Another case of RSV in the hizouse.

So…let’s say, you know, hypothetically, that’s your Thursday/Friday and you pretty much want to throw in the towel.

What do you do????

You say screw it, throw in the towel, and start getting out Christmas decorations.

Because you can.

Again, hypothetically, if this story were my own, I’d probably burrow at home in the cold and windy weather for most of the weekend, get out loads of decorations, Lysol loads of things, and count the days until Thanksgiving Break.

The End.

Over and out.
