Unaccompanied Minors

We've had some sort of "bug" in the house this past week. I am convinced it was some sort of food poisoning but Shannon claims it is a "virus." Sure whatever...either way but ST and I were down for the count last Sunday. I slept upstairs that night because I was anticipating some serious snoring and I am so glad that I did as I spent the night on the floor in the upstairs bathroom. That floor is heated and so much more comfortable. I didn't move until around 4pm. I guess it came on for Shannon around 1pm. This is all hearsay as I was upstairs. However, around 3:30 I noticed that Fischer kept coming up and asking me if I was still sick. Each time he came into the room he had a different piece of candy. I decided to see what was going on. I came down and the house was a total mess, candy wrappers were everywhere and every pillow in the house was on the kitchen floor. The kids were using the kitchen counter as a launch pad and I hear snoring in the bedroom. So I ask Hayden how long his Dad has been asleep and he proceeded to say "all day." Okay...probably not our best parenting moment but the kids didn't kill themselves, break a bone, burn themselves or were not starving (not a healthy diet but hey it was food). I mustered up enough energy to go to Haggens to pick up some milk and bread and I drove them to McDonalds for a happy meal, I mean why break a perfect record with something actually nutritious!

I rallied and it took ST about 3 days to feel better. The kids didn't get a thing - which makes me think Food related but all is well now!
