Hello all.

I'm not a well bunny at the moment.  It's 12:30pm and I've only just mustered enough strength to get out of bed.  I'd told you that we've all been under the weather, well today took the biscuit. 

I had a migraine last night so took 4 Syndol and tried to sleep it off. The boys ended up in bed with me so add to that the migraine I had a pretty restless night.

The boys burst into life around 9am this morning, but I didn't.  I stumbled downstairs, completely frozen and managed to make their breakfast.  Then the migraine hit me again.  I couldn't stand nor do anything.  My head was hurting like hell, I felt dizzy and sick.  So I get back into bed with the boys.  The phone rings around 10am and it's Kev.  I ask him to come over asap as I'm ill and need help with the boys.  He was like sure but he needed to go into town first. Fine I thought, he'll be here soon...

Only I fell asleep but the boys didn't.  The next thing I know the doorbell goes and it's mum.  She is absolutely gobsmacked because the kids are running riot with no clothes on, the house is frozen, they've been gorging on sweets and there's carnage everywhere.

I can't do or say anything.  I feel like throwing up, I'm totally incapacitated. I go back to bed while mum kindly attends to the boys.

Kev pitches up 4 hours later-grrr.  Mum then leaves after popping in to see me curled up in bed like a hermit and leaves Kev to look after us.

I slept for Britain.  Apparently the boys were noisy but I didn't hear a thing.  When I managed to feel human I went downstairs to find that all the ironing had been done and the sides cleared.  All I'll have to do is hoover and polish, oh, and bung another load in so thanks to mum for that.

I phone her up to thank her and burst into tears.  I felt terrible for neglecting the children like that but I just couldn't move, it was awful. She was lovely about it and told me to stop being silly and proud and to phone her when something like this happens again.  The thing is I did tell Kev, but he didn't rush round so I had it out with him.  He knows for the future should we say.

I'm dosed up to the eyeballs and drinking plenty of fluid.  I feel cold but Kev reckons I'm burning up.

I'm so disappointed for being this way so close to Christmas.  I've been so excited about spending Christmas with the boys and Kev in our own home, it was supposed to be extra special.

I keep crying, which makes it worse.  If I'm like this tomorrow I've been instructed to get Kev to ring the doctors. 

Damn shame really as I have loads of wine in and I can't drink it-lolol.

Anyway, just wanted to wish all my Madmums mates a VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS and PEACEFUL NEW YEAR!!!

Bless you all, Zo xxxxx

Zoe, I hope your feeling a little brighter this morning.

Dont feel bad for being ill, it cant be helped. Sounds like Kev got the message though.  I'm certain the boys were not neglected, a few sneaky treats and running round bare bummed wont harm them especially when your poorley.

Your mums sounds like an angel.

Happy Christmas eve

Numpty...if your cold...then yes your temperature is sky high!

Next time...phone your mum asap..yes Kev popped round..but your mum will be there like a shot!  Being poorly and having the kids is no joke...but itll disappear in a day or so..just rest up nana!  Now you know what I had all year chica...and yours is just a mild dose..try having it for 6 months!!

Dont beat yourself up...if the kids ate loads of sweets...at least you know they can fend for themselves lol...dont fancy your chances of getting them down from the ceiling though!  Just take it easy chica
