but you can probably chip away at the organising when you get a few minutes here and there. Sometimes that's actually more efficient than large blocks of time because you are more focussed when you're doing the work. That's what I often find anyway. I'm also working round sickies today, but mine are older and need far less attention.

DD still looks like she's got measles so I'm assuming it is, and keeping them both out of school. She's covered in rash and quite itchy at times but otherwise not feeling very sick. Her appetite's a bit down. I wouldn' expect it to be a very strong dose since she's already been vaccinated against it. I also had it very mild as a kid but I was born at a time when lots of people were opting out of the MMR vaccine because of problems with the measles part - my parents included. I had the other parts though. I've just double-checked rubella and the rash is similar... now I'm wondering whether I should get a doctor in just to confirm which it is. What fun!

It's well after 10am and so far I've done nothing constructive except drink my tea. I sat and watched half of Monsters Inc with the kids and forgot breakfast. Haven't done my morning pages. I shall have the kids doing some work today though, especially since they aren't really THAT kind of sick! Must be time to get started on the Chinese programme early I guess.

it's a laundry day for me so I'd better shove something in the machine. I'll be back later to let you know if I've achieved anything at all. With a start like this the whole day often ends up down the toilet though.

Kerri.
