What
time is it?
Summertime! It's our vacation!
What time is it?
Party time! That's right, say it loud!
What time is it?
Time of our lives! Anticipation!
What time is it?
Summertime! School's out, scream and shout!
Admit it. You know where this song is from. You've either secretly or openly watched it before and liked it. After a busy month of watching High School Musical 2 in summer school with my students and neglecting my blog, I was all but ready for a 2 week break before school starts up again. Caitlyn would be at daycare, letting the wife and me to have some time to ourselves.
However, much to our dismay, Caitlyn contracted an enterovirus from her daycare on Friday. Enteroviruses are so named because they initially enter the body through the gastrointestinal tract, but can cause a wide variety of illnesses. They are common among young children and sprout up mainly in the summer and early fall, with the most common place for infection is, where else, at daycares.
Symptoms include high fevers, chills, muscle aches, sore throats, weakness, and rashes and blisters on the hands, feet, and face. Most of the symptoms dissipate within 3 or 4 days, but it’s best to avoid contact with other people for a week to prevent the spread of disease.
That’s why Caitlyn has been placed under house arrest for the past week. For her part, she’s taken to it quite well. Probably because the wife leaves the TV on for her rather than having to deal with a fussy, sick baby.
To make things worse, I also contracted the enterovirus from Caitlyn the other day and can now say that I have shared in her misery. The wife has miseries of her own too, mainly having to take care of the two of us and doing most of the chores herself, all while trying to avoid getting sick. Actually, that doesn’t sound too different from what she does on a normal basis.
Even if none of us had gotten sick, the weather hasn’t been very cooperative. With an approaching tropical storm and a week’s forecast of rain, going for some trips outdoors would have been out of the questions. Ah well, maybe next week will bring a brighter outlook for us when we’re all better and if the wife somehow manages to escape unscathed.
