we've all had a nasty cold...

My children brought me a cold home from school.  (What a wonderful gift).  Everyone caught it.  And I'm not going to pretend that I kept the world spinning while everyone was laid up in bed.  I took a lot if ibuprofen and drank tea.  I was grumpy.  My poor man went out and worked every day like normal.  The youngest slept more than usual.  No one had a fever so we all continued going to school.  We had more take-out than we should, I got behind on laundry, and the house looks like a bomb.  Now that I'm feeling mostly better, I'm taking what energy I have to clean the house, room by room.  I hope I can get all the living spaces cleaned before the first parts are trashed again.
