Stuck At Home

What do you do when you are stuck at home with a sick child?
(Besides hang out all day in pajamas)

This is the position I find myself in this week-end. In an effort not to pass the flu around, we are under self-quarantine. To ward off "cabin fever" I have been keeping busy.
First I cleaned my laundry room until it sparkled.
Second I organized the play room.

Then I decided to have a little fun and get creative:

 I made lists. Don't you just love lists? I do. If only I had enough lists printed off, I would never have to think again! I made a morning list, a what to take to school list, a bedtime list, and even a bus schedule for one of my children who was feeling confused about what bus to take on what day.


I've been productive enough for today. Now I am going to go watch a movie with the kids. I'm sure that is on a to-do list somewhere...

3 amazing observations:

You are really good at making lists!! Where did you find the clip art...I feel compelled to make some pretty lists as well! I hope you're having fun, you seem to have the right attitude about this whole situation (fleas in the bunk house sort of thing).

Will you make a chore list? I love the fleas in the bunk house April. I need to read that book. I watched the movie.
Good luck with the sickness. I hope you kick it. If you need some dinner, I could slip it under your door

Thanks Ladies! You are both very sweet. We are doing good here- so far no one else has gotten sick.
