sick,sicker,sickest

I am tired. I am coughing. I feel icky, I was up most of the night ( I should have called you Amy we could have chatted)  lol!!
I managed to get myself to work, get an errand done, make dinner and even cookies for dessert.  All I want to do is go to bed......I am watching my kiddos "dance" and play with balloons they are so funny!
well, this was a quick post, maybe tomorrow I will feel better and will have something profoundly awesome to write about, or I will just write about our day!  :)

happy wednesday!

my sick little monkeys....

so we had what is becoming our weekly trip to the dr today. athena has a sinus infection, somehow she always ends up getting one. which is awful for her, but at least she can get meds and get better.....it baffles me though. she has been tested (last year) for allergies and has none. yet she gets these sinus infections almost monthly.  when we were in delaware not 1 cold, not 1 sinus infection...puzzling.
athena got to spend the afternoon baking and hanging out with her grammie today. it wasnt fair for her to be stuck at home doing "nothing"  while caleb is so needy right now. she definitely had a great afternoon and I am happy for her...peanut deserved it!  I just love that little girl so much! but it scares the snot out of me how alike her and I are!!
my little boy, he is a sick little boy, and I hope I get some sleep tonight.  as far as something specific he is fine....he has had a high fever running between 99 and 103 since last week. he has eaten a handful of crackers, 1 yogurt, 2 bites of a banana, a slice of apple, a bite of pizza and thats about it....since thursday.  today I managed to get him to drink 1 sipper of juice this morning and 1 cup of choc milk for dinner...and he peed twice. sorry to those of you who get squeamish with bodyily functions, but I feel the need to  write about all this cuz it helps to get it out of my head....i stress a little less this way.
so tomorrow morning  I have to call the pediatrician to give them an update on how caleb is doing, and what if anything is better or worse....and they said we might have to bring him in daily to weigh him and check his hydration....I feel bad becuase he is sick and I have to go to work tomorrow, yes josh will be home with him, and can take caare of him, but anyway, thats my problem, and I will figure it out.  I am thankful for Josh and his awareness of how exhausted I have been.  he made a bunch of calls today at work to try to get someone to cover for him tonight so he could come home and help me...unfortunately no one was willing to help him, but I was so touched that he tried to do this to help me, without me asking....I know some of you out there have hubbys that do things like that regularly, but this was a big thing for me....anyway, my hubby should be home soon so I should probably go warm up his dinner and get off the computer  lol!!
hoping to share happy positive news tomorrow about my little man!!

sick house

this has been a rough week.  It started with my girl getting "the virus".  and then sharing it with all of us.  My boy turned 3 tuesday and spiked a temp the next day. this "lovely" illness has stuck around and made my little boy very sick. he has eaten only a few things over the last 4 days and drinking barely enough to keeo himself hydrated....also he is silent. literally.  his throat hurts and so he just doesnt talk or play or anything...so weird.
on a more positive note. my girl seems to be feeling better. thankfully she is going to school tomorrow...
I hate it when my kids are sick.     I just want to take away all their hurts and make everything ok again, but unfortunately that isnt the reality. So far so good. both kiddos have been asleep for over an hour and havent heard any peeps....maybe it will be a decent for sleep. 
On a completely different note. I just watch most of the new show once upon a time....different, for sure, not sure how I feel about it...anyway, gotta go to bed who knows what the night will hold for me! :)

where did my baby go?

3 years ago today...almost at this exact time we welcomed our "little man" into this world.  He didn't waste any time and was born nice and quick  (3 pushes) ....I remember Josh and I commenting that if we literally didnt see him born we would have wondered if he was really ours...super white skin, blond hair and big blue eyes...not exactly what we were expecting seeing as Athena looks just like me! 
Since being born Caleb has lived in 2 states, 4 houses, had 2 surgeries, 1 ER visit, 2 dogs, and 1 awesome big sister!  :)
He is my happy go lucky little boy, who loves everyone in his family, and was so excited this morning to wake up  "I 3 now mama?"   and then mad when we dropped his sister off at school and he didnt get to stay " I 3 now, I can stay at school"   :)
Tomorrow we are having a little party with playgroup hopefully the little man will be somewhat social....then saturday mom and dad are coming over for pizza and cake...not bad for turning 3! 

I still can't believe how blessed Josh and I are. we have 2 beautiful, smart, funny, (usually) happy kids who love us so unconditionally......we have our boy and our girl, and yes some days are much better than others, but I would not trade what we have for anything.

Happy Birthday my "baby" boy. I love you. and cant wait to see what this year will hold for you!
