Ahhh, the life

It is now February! Goodness where does the time go??

Having two kiddos is a blast except when they are sick. Make it less of a blast when their dad is sick too. Somehow I miraculously avoided the sinus infection and stomach flu that ensued upon my house a few weeks ago. It was bad... Eric disappeared to the back of the house for a few days, while I was up in the front of the house with poor William following in the same suit as daddy. I have never done so much laundry or given so many baths in a 3 day period. Isabelle didn't get any symptoms until 2 days after. Poor Girl. When I took them into the doctor, because William still wasn't recovering after 5 days and we were worried about dehydration, the doctor gave them a 'clean bill of health' which still boggles my mind. I mentioned the cough had been going on for 3 weeks and the Dr. replied with 'they have a sinus infection.' With a prescription written, we were out of there. Sadly the medication did a number on William and his reaction was 3 times more 'outbursts' out the diaper then when he was sick... and with a quick call to the Dr. we got that changed. Both of them seem to be on the mend, the coughing is far less.

It would be the first time in 9 years that I have ever taken a sick day, 2 actually. Of course, I am not counting maternity leave here.

Other happenings? Eric joined the IDPA, International Defensive Pistal Association, and goes once a month to practice shooting at targets. They have started a night shoot as well, which seems to be getting really popular.

All is going well with me too. My favorite things these days are watching movies about and playing with Tinkerbell, and reading all sorts of stories with Isabelle. Williams favorite thing to do is go for the TV and all things related to the TV, so pillow blockades are now up. It is fun to keep him occupied on other things, but his brain is very focused on getting through the blockades. I also have been having Thursday night outs with a girlfriend, a great way to get away, chat, relax, play trivia and go to new places, since she and I 'must' go to places where we can use our coupon books.

Plan for tonight, after work... fill out valentines' for Isabelle's classmates. Yikes! They are exchanging on Thursday.
