Oh dear - my sister is going to kill me!

My sister came to stay over Easter weekend with her precious and very gorgeous wee daughter.

Now my 3 month old baby has come out with spots that look suspiciously like chicken pox, my eldest has a high temperature, sore throat & headaches, and my middle child is off his food and is starting to develop spots as well.

I am going to take the spotty menagerie to the medical clinic tomorrow but am trying to decide whether I should phone my sister and pre-warn her (causing panic) or just wait till I know one way or the other.

Either way, she's going to kill me!

wait till tomorrow so you know for sure.

I blame our mum! Every time she or Dad come to Auckland something horrible happens.

This time it is chicken pox.

The time before (two weeks ago) when they were up for a wedding our toddler ended up in Starship with an inguanal (sp) hernia.

In January when Dad was up my eldest had a kidney infection, gastroenteritis and pharyngitis all at the same time. And the same day our middle child had surgery to remove a lump from his wee man bits.

The week before Christmas when Mum came up she hadn't been on our property for more than ten minutes when my eldest broke both his arms.

And in addition when my middle child was 9 weeks he ended up in Starship being tubefed the week they came to visit.

I have told mum I want a divorce! pmsl!

Yep these thing happen and can't be helped if you don't they have it.

oh gawd - tell them you will visit them in future....LOL!

is ddef better to get chicken pox early tho...altho having said that I am dreading ella getting it....and have just avoided the outbreak at DC, along with the outbreak of hand foot and mouth too at DC and a friend with mumps....thank goodness she didnt come in and see me when she was going to!!! argh....

Heck no! When we were down visiting them in Wellington last time we ended up with rotovirus.

The time before that it was bronchitis.

Normally we are pretty healthy!

Exactly! I think that we are allergic to each other! pmsl!

I'm still impressed at finding someone who's kids spend as much time sick as mine do! Well done!

I'm sure this post wasn't meant to be funny but it has made me giggle a bit. I'm with you guys on the parking space at starship and only one of mine spends far to much time there! And she is currently having fevers and throwing up so looks like I might be off to the Dr soon too.

Hopefully your sister is very forgiving....it's not like you knew before hand.
And maybe you and your Parents should invest in a web cam so you can see each other from a distance. Then maybe they wont make you all sick

Well I went to the doctors and all three are definitely sick with inflammed throats and this spotty rash, plus #1 may have a UTI and #3 has conjunctivitis. He says the next day or so should show whether they are the dreaded pox. It cost me $93 for this!

Now do I warn my sister or wait and see?

Or is she going to log in to Oh Baby today and bust me?
