what you need when your household is sick
Right when I’m diving into this new world of Substack, Breaker gets sick. The stomach bug. Yuck. The posting I planned to get done yesterday, yep, it didn’t happen. Then my sweet mom says, “It will probably go through the house. Be prepared.” How do I do that? This sounds like motherly advice that I should heed. I brainstormed and decided to Substack. Gotta have some fun with it, right?
We need comfy clothes. I’m thinking pants for the boys, here and here. Finley and I need soft sweatshirts, here and here. We need pants too, here and here. Grabbing hair ties (have replaced teleties) and socks.
Blankets. We fight over this crazy cookie blanket. Everyone has a Barefoot dreams blanket but Jarrett. Target has good ones too.
Pillows. We’re currently lounging on these with a Target Casaluna pillowcase.
Meds? We have to treat the symptoms. Fluids: Gatorade (this is Breaker’s favorite), popsicles (also B’s favorite, but here if you’re sticking with Target), noodle soup and of course water. Crackers: Saltine, Ritz and Oyster because you never know what the gut’s going to crave/tolerate. I like to have mashed potatoes on hand too. I kept all of the pantry items with Target because if you have a Circle 360 membership you get free same day delivery.
Good TV. Yesterday it was a Friends marathon for Breaker. Jarrett’s definitely picking Landman. Finley and I rec Gossip Girl.
