sick

ever since bill came home from greece our family has been sick, sick, sick. it started out with a little cold that morphed into what we call “the sinus” around here. it is just a really horrible head cold with congestion and tons of snot. that grew into a heavy chest cold with hacking and more hacking and today 2 of the 3 chitlins woke up with pink eye. fun times. what makes it even more fun is that we had family pictures scheduled tonight for the first time ever (you can’t even think about rescheduling when you know there is no way to predict bill’s coming home time and the weekends were booked up). so when you get our christmas card this year and you think charlie looks cute, but just a little off…you can recall this post and remember that he had pink eye in his right eye that made it puffy and red. claire also will look a little off because of her left pinkeye and ellie will look serious because she was so stunned by all of the new sites she refused to smile (claire was stunned too). hopefully photoshop can help us out a bit with the pinkeye issue.

when you have one kid that gets sick you have to miss out on a few things here and there. I am now realizing with 3 little ones I will be missing out on lots of things and will be housebound for weeks this winter because one of them will have some illness lingering. thank goodness for bubba. laura came down today to help out and it was a lifesaver. it makes taking care of 3 sort of sick kiddos a lot easier. thank you bubba.
