When Is This Going To Stop?

I am stuck at home most days at the moment, when I am not running to the doctor's as my two daughters and me seem to be taking turns at being sick.

I guess I am lucky that I don't have an employer to answer to because, even to me, this looks suspicious: it started a few weeks ago when I had herpes in my eye; I could not do anything (I am just lucky my kids are able to operate the toaster, and very thankful to a freezer well stocked with oven chips and chicken nuggets). Then, the day after I started feeling better, No.2 had an upset stomach, so had to stay home from school (it had to be on a Monday); I think that the rest of the week was uneventful until last Thursday when No.1 and No.2 complained about their stomachs; No.1 turned out to be fine later on so she went to school on Friday but No.1 had a very bad case of diarrhea; she wasn't able to make it on time to the toilet so after having thrown one pair of knickers in the bin and washed another 2 pairs, along with 3 pairs of pyjama bottoms, I had to give her some of my sanitary towels, which I was grateful for as she is too big for nappies. On Saturday I felt lousy all day, feeling nauseous but unable to get sick: I must have caught No.2's virus (even though I had been washing my hands and disinfecting like I have never done before because I didn't want the rest of us to catch that nasty bug), fortunately I had no need for nappies but had to lie down between bursts of cleaning the house up. Then to top it all, on Saturday evening No.1 started complaining about a pain in her eye: I couldn't see anything in it so I had to call the out of hours doctor service and even though it was past the kids' bedtime and I still didn't feel too good I had to pack the kids into the car for a late appointment in a nearby town. Today No.2 is at school but No.1 had to stay home because her eye is still feeling a bit sore (the doctor gave her antibiotic eye drops) and now she is starting to complain about her stomach as well!

If I had a job, I would have had to take so many sick days that I probably would have got fired by now; my kids have been reasonably healthy up to now (they used to get medals in their old school for good attendance) but this year they just seem to be catching every bug that's going around. Luckily there isn't anything seriously wrong with them but it's just so frustrating not to be able to do the things that need to be done around the house and having all those articles I want to write piling up while I'm going to and fro the doctor's and staying home to look after sick people.

I should be visiting garden centres right now to get something to keep my neighours' dogs out of my garden and also, the kids are on their Easter holidays from Friday, so what happens if they don't both go to school for at least one day this week: what am I supposed to do about the Easter Bunny?
