The Pox

[PatButcher]

Well 2 weeks ago my middle son got chicken pox and that meant confined to barracks, I roped the MIL into popping over to do a spot of ironing whilst I took my little one to nursery and then had a sneaky run, I managed 2 runs so not bad. Yesterday (Fri 13th) My littlest got the Pox and he is pickled in the buggers now, As much as I feel for him and I do, I really do, The thought of another week within these walls fills me with dread!!! Will I get out for a run? Can I rope my MIL in again? Might be taking the Pee a bit Anyway, I haven't missed a week since starting this so I'm now panicking!!! The spotty monster is in bed, I am having a well earned Voddy and I'll worry about the running on Monday...What do you think???!!!

I was 24 when I had chicken pox and it wasn't nice! At least your little ones are getting it out the way!

I think you should get MIL to come over next week, maybe don't make her do the ironing though Even if she can only come once it'll be a good break for you and you won't feel the guilt of not running for a week!

Worst case scenario she can't come and you temporarily lose your mind being at home with the pox, you can make up for it the week after xxx

Any chance you aske her again, surely she would not mind looking after them so you could get out for a while. Otherwise perhaps ask a friend to do you a favour!

Hope you have had the pox already!

Thanks I had it when I was 38 and pregnant with son 2! Horrid experience. My little one now has infection in his spots and is on antibiotics, poor little love, I think this week will be reserved for cuddles and kids TV.....GULP!!!
