My terrible horrible no good very bad day!

(Ever read that book to your children? It's a good one!)

Do you ever have a day that just cannot end soon enough? Today is THAT DAY!

3AM: Camden wakes up screaming,"Momma,my ear!"I go into his room to find him burning up and crying in pain. We spend the next 3 hours with him, trying to calm him and settle him down.

6AM: We decide that we all might as well get up, we've been awake for hours! I go to brush my teeth &realize my toothbrush is in the trash bin. GROSS! Hannah claims she had nothing to do with it, I am not so sure. The only extra new toothbrush I can find is a baby toothbrush, so I use it.

The next few hours are a blur of crying toddlers and a cranky preschooler who thinks she isn't getting enough attention!

11:30AM: At the doctor...Camden has a double ear infection. His 3rd ear infection in 5 months.I know it isn't my fault,but I feel so bad!

I know that the pharmacy is very slow so I decide to wait to pick up antibiotics.
Camden is so sick all afternoon, he wants to be held, then wants to be left alone, he's thirsty, he's not...ugh!

4 hours later...I go to pick up the meds and guess what? They still aren't ready! OMG I wanted scream!!! 45 minutes later we left the store with our meds...too bad I forgot to buy myself a toothbrush!

6 PM:I make the kids mac and cheese,b/c it's what they want and I am in no mood to argue with a sick 2 year old and a PMSing 4 year old. I turn around from the table to answer the phone and when I return...Hannah has the macaroni mushed into her glasses!!!
She is seriously this jealous when Cam is sick..anything for attention!

6:30PM: Hannah shows me her glasses,they have a chip in them,WTH!!!! We just got these new lenses on Saturday!

I am so DONE with this day!!

Sick in bed.

Tissues? CHECK
Chapstick? CHECK
Orange Juice? CHECK
Chicken Noodle Soup? CHECK
NyQuil? CHECK
Cough Drops? CHECK
My cozy bed? CHECK
An empty seat at the Red Sox game tonight b/c I am sick in bed? CHECK GRRRRRRRR!!!

Hopefully things will be looking up by tomorrow!

Aaa-Choo!

Just a quick little update. Hannah, Camden and I are all sick. Sneezing, runny noses, sore throats, aches and pains...you all know the drill. So we are all settling in with some soup for dinner and then pajamas and bed.

Hopefully tomorrow will bring a healthier day!

Sick of the sickies

This winter has been a tough one, health wise. I am quite sure someone in the house has been sick everyday since mid-December. I don't ever remember having so many colds go through the house. I am sure it has to do with the lovely preschool germs that Hannah is bringing home to share. We are going through 3 or 4 boxes of tissues a week and the kids have been eating popsicles like it is July. (For some reason they both love popsicles when they are sick.) I am not sure I have had a full night of sleep in months, between the coughing, hacking, sneezing and children needing drinks at all hours...I don't know if my body knows how to sleep for more than 2 hours at a time.

BUT THERE IS ONE PERSON WHO HAS REMAINED HEALTHY! ME!

And it's a good thing because some has to take care of everyone!

Camden is on the mend....finally!

This is how Cam has spent the last 6 days...

HAVING A MELTDOWN....


OR SLEEPING.


He's been so sick, fever, coughing, runny nose...miserable. But I think we have finally turned a corner, he slept through the night and woke up HAPPY. He even ate some breakfast. Hopefully we can leave the house today for at least a little bit, I feel like I haven't seen the real world in days!
