Taking a moment to update since its been a bit. This week has been another exhausting issue after another, again! We start with Christopher taking til wednesday to get better from the Bronchitis just in time for Laci to get progressivly sicker as the week went on. By Thursday whe spiked a fever od 103.00 which had me at the doctors AGAIN with her on Friday morning. Turns out she has a double ear infection, an upper respiratory infection and a severe sinus infection...friday afternoon her temp got the highest it has been in her life at 102.6 under the arm!! thats almost 104* which had me terrified for her health!! Thankfully after a few days now on amoxicillin che is on the mend and finally sleeping and eating again. On top of that, Mom is sick...gotta LOVE ragweed! UGH! So I have been tending to everyone else sick, while sick myself. Thank God for Brian who has been an absolute Godsend during all of this and taking the night shift with Laci and coming home early two days to help me out. I really dont know how I would have gotten through this week without his help! The also this week we dealt with the emotional blow that Rick (Culpepper, our 25 year friend) was admitted to the hospital with heart failure and taken to Chattanooga where he underwent surgery and had FOUR stents put in his heart to clear the arteries. Again I have to thank God for watching over him and sparing his life as he is now also on the mend and getting stronger every day!
The fair is in town...
I know thats an odd switch but I have missed the fair EVERY year for the last 5 years, in 2003 I had morning sickness, in 2004 the flu, in 2005 a sick baby, in 2006 morning sickness, and 2007 a new baby and a toddler and no babysitter...
I swore I would go to the fair no matter what this year. That I would get a babysitter and me and Brian would go on a date to the fair... yeah, TWO sick kids, *I* am sick, and NO babysitter....*sigh* add 2008 to the list of years I *wont* be going. :( I will admit that it SUCKS! I really REALLY wanted to go this year!!!!
Other than that, we are purging and preparing for FALL that starts TOMORROW!!! And it also boggles my mind how my baby girl is a year and a HALF tomorrow already!!!! Wow!!! We spent the day working in the yard yesterday and the house some and getting things ready to decorate the yard in a week or so for Halloween...which christopher is waiting very impatiently as he LOVES all that is Halloween and cannot WAIT to decorate too! Thats my boy there!
Anyhow this week we are working on getting *finally* stuff back in order around here. We are starting new traditions of me and Brian getting up even earlier to enjoy breakfast together alone and me and Christopher are continuing the night projects as well as library books before bed. :) We will also be working out every night in the garage for an hour so I can start to feel better about myself...and then its the big gym on the weekends and finding time for me! Its going to be a big week and I hope to God that everyone is better by tomorrow so we can move PAST the sickness and all get back to life!!! Wish us luck!
Love you all, thanks for taking time to read about us!

Girl, you have had it rough with your kids getting sick since I have "known" you. Goodness! I know it's stressful when your own kids get sick.
P.S. I like that idea of the breakfast with the hubbby before everyone else wakes up. ;o)
