Oh Andrea - I've done the "daddy is overseas and all the children start vomiting thing" and it is NOT FUN.
And I didn't even have to deal with any giant spiders!
I hope everyone is feeling better and that you can get some SLEEP.
Hang in there.
I found a grocery store that would deliver ginger ale and saltines to me the last time it happened. I saw the delivery guy more than any other adult for 8 straight days!
How long is he gone????
