Both of the girls have some sort of virus, and they've been little punks all weekend. If you've heard the saying, "I love you, but I don't like you right now", it's where I'm at right now. Katie and I had a throwdown this morning about me changing her out of her pajamas into street clothes so we could go to the grocery store. She was in such a ( Read more... )

The appointment was for Amelia's four-year well-child visit, and I added on a sick-child visit for Katie ( Read more... )

We're still chugging along here. Tom went to the doctor Monday afternoon who proclaimed him to have the flu, but not badly enough to warrant drugs. He was sent on his way with advice to sleep, drink fluids, and stay at home until Thursday. He was also given a doctor's note for work. :) Tom already had Monday off, so he'll only be away from the ( Read more... )

I'm canceling all plans with outsiders for the 3-day weekend. Amelia's still down for the count, I'm coming down with it, and Tom's currently bathing in Purell, praying he doesn't get it. Meanwhile, Katie is taking advantage of Mommy and Amelia feeling off by bodyslamming her sister and claiming all the good toys ( Read more... )

Today, I tried to work out, even though this sinus infection is kicking my butt.  20 minutes on the bike at the Y showed me I had no business being there.

Tom nicely said, "I told you so."

Last night, I was so sick. When I woke up this morning, I knew I had to get in to get a verification that my sinuses were infected.  I also knew there was no way I could handle two kids by myself. Tom took a personal day and wrangled the wee ones while I luxuriated in a solo trip.

Unsurprisingly, I have a sinus infection. I have a nasty tasting ( Read more... )

Last week, Katie came down with the same bug Amelia had. She seems on the upswing, but we could really do without the fever. :/  Last night, Tom was able to clip her nails without a peep from her!  Our big problem is getting her to drink enough liquids. I'm having to almost force them on her.

It was a good weekend though. We had a lot of family time ( Read more... )

Katie was up and down all night last night. She's not acting sick in any other way, so I'll just assume she hates us ( Read more... )

Katie's still sick. I took her to the doctor yesterday afternoon, because she was passing mortar-covered stools (which I have never seen in either her or Amelia). We think that she has some nasty stomach bug, most likely picked up from Saturday's visit to Chuck E. Cheese. The doctor agrees. If she's not better by Monday, we'll do a stool ( Read more... )

Really, I'm done with being sick now ( Read more... )
