Stay away

If any of you out there were planning on looking me up and stopping by my house, don't. My middle child that was sick over the weekend is now 100% better and I mean 100% better. How children can go from fever, sleeping, whining, and miserable to playing outside, running, eating everything in site, and being back to normal in 12 hours is beyond me. Since my middle one is over it now my youngest son has it. He was fine this morning, but took a nap at 10:00 or so which is odd, was ok until about 2:00 and then it was a drastic decline. At 2:00 he had a temp of 101.9 and by 3:15 it was 103.0 he has decided to stop fighting it and is now sleeping on the couch. Poor things. So unless you are looking to bring sickies into your home stay clear for now.

sick babies

Is there anything worse than your babies being sick? I think not. My middle one has a fever and he is the most pitiful child when he is sick. His voice gets really hoarse, he whines and cries, and he looks at you with those red rimmed eyes just pleading for you to do something. There is nothing I can do, I can cuddle, soothe, rub backs and hair all day long, but none of that fixes the problem. I slept with him all night because his fever was 103.3 and did I mention yet he is anti-medicine. I tried to put the Motrin in some Gatorade, but will barely drink anything so I really could not get alot in him. He had a very restless sleep and is now dozing in and out on the couch watching Spongebob. I am off to the store to buy more Gatorade and see what else I can get for him that may entice him to drink and eat a little bit.

3rd time is a charm

I really hope this is true. This will be my third "start up" of my blog. I really was getting into it and felt like I was really starting to understand how to do different things on here and then well....that is where stopped. So I am going to try this thing AGAIN! I wish I could say I am back and better but well for now I am just back and I hope after some time I will be better. My last post was 2/11/09 how odd that I am coming back on 9/11/09.

For my first entry I am going to keep short and sweet and ask all of you today take some time to reflect on the tragic events that happened 8 years ago. Keeping all of the families and people who were and still to this day are affected by those events. We will never forget you! Also, remember that we have so many brave men and women who are still fighting for our country in Iraq because of this. So while today I will remember those families who were effected on this day 8 years ago I will also remember that were a countless number of families who have been effected by the war that their loved ones have so diligently fought for. Thank you and God Bless America.
