We are all getting over upper respiratory infections, Justin had it last week and the kids and I got it this week, so while he was back at work I was at home sick taking care of the sick kids. And it is a viral infection so they don't give you any antibiotics for it, you just suffer through it and this one is a doozy, fevers, coughs, sinus pain its the worse. We are all on the up and up now and hope to have this behind us. Justin did take off on Fri. for me, I had a bad case of insomnia for two days, the Dr. told me to take musenix and claritin, well the claritin would not let me sleep! I would fall asleep and then if anything woke me up I was up, which was like every hour with kids coughing or I had to go to the bathroom every hour. So I was a mess and totally exhausted by the end of the week, so he was home all weekend to help out with the kids and let me sleep.
Now some interesting figures for you.
3 , the number of times I went to the Dr.s this week (not just for me)
2, the number of Kleenex boxes we went through (and they were the big ones!)
1, how many bottles of children's Motrin we went through
15, the number of bottles of medicine sitting on my counter right now
4, the number of times Z has to do breathing treatments a day
4, the number of times the kids ate chicken nuggets for a meal
100, about the hours of T.V. we have watched these past few days
Having your kids sleep throughout the night with no coughing or fever, PRICELESS!!!!!!! (which was last night so I got a full nights sleep and in a good mood today!)

So glad everyone slept well last night, get this all behind you and get to feeling back to normal soon. What a miserable week!!!! Have a great new one:)
Wow, what a week. Good to get all the sickies out of the way now before the baby. Pregnancy insomnia is the worst, then to add all that other stuff on top. Feel better!
2 p.m. Sunday and we still haven't decided if we are going out of town. When I look at the unpacked Christmas luggage I say no way. When I look at the work involved in unpacking the Christmas luggage I say "get me out of here!" We are not above deciding very last minute so...maybe. Oh yeah, and I can't find Stanley!
Oh wow, that sounds like a crazy week! I'm glad everyone's improving. I like the list of figures, it helps put things in perspective!
