Looking Up

I am determined for this week to go better… I took both of the kiddos out to Urgent Care yesterday, and we all had a check-up. Dylan had to be swabbed for the Flu virus, and he was none too pleased. Luckily the test results came back negative for the Flu, so the Doctor diagnosed all of us with Upper Respiratory Infection, and we were off to Walgreens for three prescriptions.

Walgreens took a little bit, there was a problem with my prescription. I have a Penicillin Allergy, and what I was prescribed contained it, but the luckily Pharmacist caught it, so I called the Doctor, and they called in a different one for me. Happily, I only have to take it for 5 days, I’m really not a fan of antibiotics. The boys have to take theirs twice a day for 10 days, but they were pretty good about taking their first dose.We’ll see how today goes.

Last night was another sleepless Dylan and Nico night, but so far the medicine is really helping me. I feel so much better all ready. I hope that the kiddos will be feeling better soon too, their coughs are still pretty rough today.

Tree Skirt In Progress

I got a pretty good amount of work accomplished on the Tree Skirt, and I think I have about ten more panels to sew on, and about 18,000 strings to cut.

I’m going to finish the top with some Bias Tape, and hopefully this Skirt will be ready for the Christmas Tree.

Feeling Icky

And the Flu makes a return…

It started with Thade coughing late Saturday night, and Dylan super achy on Sunday. Yesterday both of the kiddos were coughing and feeling icky, and last night I was up every 15 minutes with Dylan until 2:00 a.m. I finally brought him downstairs, so his coughs wouldn’t wake up everybody. This morning I ache all over, and I’m coughing once again… I am so sick of this flu!

James is going to take a 1/2 day today, and I’ll be taking the kiddos out to Urgent Care, and hopefully getting some medicine for us all. I feel so bad for the kiddos, Thade’s cough is so rough, and anytime Dylan moves he winces and cries, everybody just feels so icky today.

Yeah, It Is One of Those Days

Yesterday both of the kiddos were sick with another cold, and we found a water leak under the house, just great… Dylan was up all night, so I think that maybe I got 3 hours of sleep. We were all moving a little slow this morning, so I headed out to my car to warm it up, and you’ve probably guessed it, my car is DEAD!!! Yeah, I am so not in a good mood right now…

The plumber will be here this afternoon, and I have no idea what I’ll be doing with my car, I’m just ready to give up…

Big Breakfasts

It must be the cold weather… Lately all of the boys have been hungry for really big breakfasts. I’m not much of a breakfast person, just coffee and maybe a bagel, or a muffin, but the boy’s could finish off a package of bacon at a setting. This weekend the little guys were craving Bacon and Toast, Dylan even made his way into the kitchen and said “mmmm bacon”, and James just wanted a really big breakfast.

Usually I make him Biscuits, Sausage, and Gravy when he is wanting a big breakfast, but this time I decided to mix it up a bit. I made him 4 eggs, 4 sausage links, and 5 pieces of Bacon, which I decided to call “the farm” cause it pretty much contains just about everything that you would find on a farm.

And you know what… He loved it, so “the farm” will be making an appearance on the Breakfast menu more often.
