"If you spend the majority of your days in the company of babies, toddlers, tweens or teens, then your happiness will be directly proportional to your ability to laugh often and enjoy the chaos. The child-rearing years, in particular, are meant to be hectic, playful, and fun!"

Sick Kids

We have had sick children the past two weeks. Braeden had influenza B one whole week. Thankfully it was before the whole swine flu epidemic or we probably would have been freaked. Then he went back to school for the 1st time in a week last Tuesday. Tuesday night Braeden and I made a trip to the ER for excruciating ear pain. We were there from 11pm Tuesday until 2:00 am Wednesday. Fun times with a crying child and bad FOX programming. The Dr. finally diagnosed the ear infection, promptly gave him a dose of Tylenol codeine for the pain, and then we got his Zithromax from a medicine vending machine. What will they think of next! Thursday Preston slept until 8:45 am and woke up crying because he said he was "tired". Took his temp and he was down for the count. He slept most of the day Thursday and spiked a temp as high as 104 on Friday. I am hopeful we have kicked it and Laken will not get it. It has been a long two weeks couped up at home. Laken was forever asking me if she could go to someone else's house or play with someone. Poor girl!
