Comically bad 24 hours in the Overton household ... how you know Monday was a bad day

I just had to share with you the back end of my weekend and why it made Monday such a disaster.  All was well on Sunday, I went sailing, then about 4pm my back decided to jump back into the land of extreme pain.  OK, so 1 member of the household down.

About 8pm Lizzy, my 1 year old, started throwing up... not good... and it carried on through the night.  One rug in the bin, 5+ changes of night clothes for her and more.  All with me unable to do much due to back pain and my wife phobic about people being sick.  Two members of the household down.

Next morning, we get some quality sleep from about 6am until about 7:30am when Molly, my eldest, tells us she is not feeling well and she has an upset tummy and a temperature.  We decide that she is not faking it, so off from school for her and now food for a while.  Three members down and one left standing.

About 7pm Mel, my wife, goes to put something in the bin, trips over the rug and slips.  "Ouch" she said (and a few more colourful words too), took off her rings (wise move) and demanded ice.  15 mins later, having spoken to the local nurse we decide Accident and Emergency is for her, so off she trots.  It turns out that she has chipped a couple of bones and did a good job of trying to pull the tendons off too.  She now has a very tender hand that is wrapped up for safe keeping. 

That is it - all four members down and out!  Work has been a nightmare as I missed a couple of important steps and all in all, Monday was written off.

 

Now for Tuesday... computers are still working, so what will the rest of the week throw at us?
