The sign of sick

Yes, I think this first picture can sum up the last several days ... I didn't know it was possible to go through so many medication doses with only 3 kids! LOL. In the midst of all the nastiness though, we are trying to keep busy.

Angel has been teaching Sunshine how to color ... how cool is that? Sunshine totally gets it too! She holds her crayon correctly and fixes it on her own when it isn't just right. I love watching her sprawl out on the floor to create a masterpiece of scribble art! She is so smart ... I mean, I know everyone says that about their kid but I really think she is extra smart. I watched her build a duplo tower taller than HER earlier today.

And I think my little Lovebug now has pink eye ... doesn't it look like that to you? The doctor didn't want to see him until he has gross stuff oozing out of his eye. So for now, we use warm compresses and wait. Ugh.

This week has certainly been a challenge. I am feeling a little better ... you know - I don't feel like I'm on my death bed anymore. LOL. Still sick, no doubt ... but able to care for the kids a little more now. Angel did throw up late last night, but I think that may have been a result of trying too much food too quickly. She's doing better today and slept well last night ... in my bed ... again. Poor DH :-( Well, poor me too because I just don't sleep much with Angel in the bed, she moves too much! Coffee is especially my best friend today!

Sunshine is on day 3 of antibiotics (I think) ... she still has a nasty cough but I don't hear the rattling in her chest anymore when she breathes. Although now her ears are draining because of all the excess gunk in her head. Gross. And that requires ear drops. Fun times. We are definitely improving though! DH went back to work this morning and is doing well again. And now there's Lovebug's new development ... ugh. Hopefully he just slept funny and the redness will go away? One can hope.

I try to keep laughing about this mess ... it's really quite funny if you think about it. LOL. We never used to be a "sick" family ... the kids honestly, truly never got sick. The only time we saw a doctor was for check-ups. So this is a new world for me. LOL. All of these sickies in my house. Phew, I'm hopeful this is the end of it! And interestingly, for the same reason that a lot of people are still sick right now, I have the windows open to circulate new fresh air in the house ... it's 65 degrees outside! I'm all for nice weather but seriously, bring on the frost and the SNOW. We need to get these germs killed off!
