If I Go Crazy . . . You'll Know Why
AHHHH!!! Well, I was hoping to get caught up on blogging this week (I still haven't blogged about Halloween or anything else since) as well as a whole list of other things. We've been sick off and on all month long. This past week the girls have had runny noses and little coughs and congestion, which I figured were just little colds . . . nothing too big . . . something I can handle. Well, this weekend it got worse (fevers, earaches, horrid coughing fits, etc.). Today we were off to the doctor to see what was going on . . . RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus), which has caused ear infections (Shelby - 2, Taylor - 2, Payden - 1) and bronchiolitis (all 3). We'll be loading up on meds (8 prescriptions) and hopefully it'll help the girls out. Unfortunately, RSV is really nasty and lasts 2 to 3 weeks as well as highly contagious the first 4 to 5 days. I guess there goes my week or 2 or 3. So until then . . .

Should I Cry or Laugh?
I haven't quite figured out which to do yet. Right now I'm so tired that I can't do either. So here's what happened.
Last night while trick-or-treating Taylor was complaining that her tummy hurt. When we got home we made her go to the bathroom to see if it would help. She went off to bed, but came back down later saying her tummy was hurting. We tried the potty again and then sent her back to bed. Finally at about 11:00 she came down after throwing up in her bed. She really didn't have a lot of candy and since her tummy had been hurting all night and since another kid from church has been throwing up, I knew she'd gotten sick too. Well that was the beginning of a long night. She had a hard time settling down and getting to sleep. When she finally did, I had been up too long and couldn't sleep. Then as I was finally starting to go to sleep, Payden started throwing up. Between the two of them I was up most of the night with only a wink of sleep here and there. It was a LONG night.
After dropping Shelby off at school (and before I could get them out of the car), they resumed the throwing up. It's been a day of cleaning beds and carseats and taking care of sick kids. What's even worse is Payden has been teething the past week, so I haven't had a good nights sleep since before this whole sick drama began a month ago.
So that's where I'm at . . . should I cry or laugh? I'm not sure, but for now I think I'll go to bed and hopefully - my fingers are crossed - get a bit more sleep tonight. Tomorrow's another day. I've learned to take things a day at a time, which is all you can do when your kids are sick time and time again.
Here are the sickos. I'd been holding Payden and had to put her down to resume cleaning. She laid down on the couch like this for about 20 minutes!!! She is an active child, so she must not be feeling well to lay down for that long. My poor babies!!!
I'm off to bed to gear up for another day!!! Good night . . . hopefully!!!
