Leisure, what leisure?

I must have jinxed myself with last night’s post, because not only were both Tage and Petra too feverish and cough-y to go to school this morning, but that discovery came hot on the heels of what was assuredly the worst night Brynja’s had since she was born.  If I got an hour or two of sleep the whole night, I’d be amazed.

The good news, as always, is that since Olof works at home I was able to turn the kids over to him and go back to bed for a few hours after Lydia left for school.  Also, Tage and Petra were subdued enough that there was very little fighting or crying, which was a more-than-welcome change from the past several days.

I’m not going to even speculate about what tomorrow will bring.  I’m just hoping for a little bit of sleep tonight.
