I wish there were no more diseases

Well, sickness has hit our household. Anna woke Jeff and I up at 2 am on sunday with the wonderful sound of throwing up. Fortunately, she was on her way to the bathroom and didn't get any on her bed. I guess that is a benefit of sleeping on the bottom bunk. I'd rather clean the mess up on the floor than strip a bed and get new sheets in the middle of the night any time. What makes it worse is that the kids sleep on foam mattresses so they act like a giant sponge. Besides, the floor in the kids room is not carpeted so clean up is a snap! Germans think carpet is very unhealthy that is why most homes have hardwood or tile floors. They are nice but cold in the winter. I am so glad that she got sick on a Sunday. Jeff was home and could help me with Sarah as I took care of Anna. I quaratined Anna in the upstairs living room and wouldn't let Sarah near her. The last thing I want is a sick baby. Anna is still on the mend, dealing with a fever and aches. But she is now singing again which was lacking yesterday. As long as I keep the crackers, juice and movies coming she is fine. This morning Anns said, "mom, I wish there were no more diseases because this isn't fun." I hope this doesn't become a domino effect with the rest of the family! The snow is melting and the weather is warming I hope everyone can stay healthy! Here is Jacob reading to Anna to take her mind off her misery.
