Happy Family Day!
Long weekend here in BC Canada, back to school and work tomorrow, yet 4 of us been stuck at home since Friday. Well that's not entirely true. I was stuck at ER with my oldest on Saturday, from before 5 PM until 1.30 AM as he has ruptured ear drum 😬 In fact, he is still battling with fever, pain, and now has been throwing up a lot, which the father and I believe it's the side effect of the antibiotics he has been taking since yesterday. My poor young guy 😕
To top that, today is only -6 C, however tomorrow we are back to -20 C until the end of the week. Meh!
My household has been busy with life for sure. How about you? I hope you guys are in a better situation than us!
