As for those quilts you'd planned to make for Christmas, you can always make them for next Christmas. Take care of yourself.
I second the motion on this one. Do what's important at the time. Those children probably need your attention and distractions more than you need to quilt. And it's so special to have them with you. There's a time for everything and this time may not be for quilting.
