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.

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.

Here Comes the Cold

Oh my goodness it is so cold outside today, and the kiddos are going crazy inside today. Both of the boys were up and ready to get up by 6:00 a.m. this morning, but Mommy convinced them to sleep in until 7:00 a.m. I have no idea what today will bring, but I had better think of something fun to do fast…

Gone in a Flash

There was one day that the leaves were absolutely beautiful, and that was the day I left the house without my camera… I did get to take a few pictures before the cold rains took away all of the pretty fall leaves.

Apples and Pears

This Fall a good friend of the family went out and picked at a local orchard once the season was finished. He visited my husband at work, and asked if I could use a few Apples and Pears. I told James, of course!

For about a week James came home everyday with two big bags of fruit. I think I ended up with about a 1/2 bushel of Apples and 1/2 bushel of Pears. Time to find some recipes for all of this fruit.

I see a lot of Apple Pies in our future, and I had better bake one for our friend to say thanks!
