Living as a mom

Archive for February 23rd, 2009

Moms, I am looking for some tips for caring for sick kids. We have been house bound on and off for about 3 weeks now. The kids and I are going stir crazy, but at least one person has been contagious over the last few weeks. Our ventures outside of the house are limited.

What do you do with the kids to keep them happy and entertained when they are still contagious, but feeling well enough to be out of bed? We have watched TV, played games, done puzzles, used markers (which is rare in my house), and read books. What else can I possibly do for my cherubs?

Plus, I need to get out of here! I am tired of taking care of and cleaning up after sick people. I really need a break, but E has also been sick. He hasn’t really been up to taking care of the house and the kids either.

I am living as a mom all cooped up this winter.
