Well....crap!

4 out of five of us are sick! Yep...everyone but McKenna (she has been sick like three times in her whole life. I think she has some sort of wonderful gene mutation that prevents her from ever getting really sick!). Jon is on the couch feeling miserable, I'm on the computer sipping green tea and eating oranges, and Chan and Maya are doped up on cough syrup and ibuprofen so they can get their 90 minutes of sleep before they wake up crying again!

Did I mention that I HATE winter? Oh, and I also hate puking in the middle of the night!

I'm soooo sorry! It's the pits. We have been sick over here too but it's not the sort of sick that makes people be quiet and lie down. It just makes them cranky and loud and needy!

I'm tired of green stuff coming out of orifice! (sp?)

This is a record for the White house! I had to call my Dad today and beg him to go to the grocery store for us because neither Jon or I could get up off the couch.

Chan will be at the Drs office first thing in the morning if he doesn't end up in the ER tonight. He has had a 103+ temp since Friday & now he vomits every time we give him liquids or tylenol. Jon is only getting worse, and I'm afraid I only have enough energy for the little ones, so he has been stuck on the sofa moaning all day.

Do moms get some sort of prize for surviving times like these? Because, if we do I'll take a sunny beach vacation next week!

Off to make myself some more tea....

EEEEK! I'll be praying for quick recoveries for you guys. I know that Jules' kids all had high fevers and they ran for 5 days. Sophie just had that last week too. 5 days of fever and then all the runny nose and cough. I hope Chan's doesn't last that long!!

We are recovering here from 2+ week of sickness. I think we are all good now though, Praise God. Here is rooting for your fast recovery!

Amber I am so sorry to hear about the sickness in your house! I hope that you all get better soon. I have been ill too..but nothing like you all have been. Be careful with yourself and the kids...there is some wicked stuff going around. It was great seeing you on saturday though! As always you looked great! Keep your chin up! Try and get well soon and take care of yourself!!

Hey there! I reаlize this is kind of off-tоρіc but I had to aѕk.

Does operаtіng a well-establishеd blog ѕuch аѕ youгs requirе а mаssive amount ωorκ?
I аm brаnd new tο writing a blog but I do write in my jοurnal every day.

I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my own experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!

Have a look at my website - raspberry ketones reviews

Sometimes I don't get dressed for the day until 5:00...pm, and on the weekend I let my kids eat cookies for breakfast. I drank coffee (and sometimes diet coke) when I was pregnant. I use under eye concealer to cover up my zits & I bake when I'm stressed. If you can deal with all that....then welcome to our family blog!
