What is a sick day?

1. Kara

I have been stuck inside for a few days and with insanely sick kids the thought of packing everyone up in the cold to go to the doctor sounds even more miserable.  On Friday morning Kara and Olivia stopped by for a house call before their mommy/daughter date.  Cameron was diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs and double ear infection.  Owen was diagnosed with an ear infection and a guess of the flu but since we can't do the swabs in my living room...it was just an educated guess since he had all the symptoms.  She called in scripts, we quickly caught up, and they were on their way.  Holy moly it was awesome.  Grateful.

2. My dad
After Kara left I called my parents to see how the trial went.  The bus driver who hit Erin had his trial Friday morning.  I was not planning on going since I knew that it would set me back farther and not be healing but I still wanted to see how it all went for everyone else.

Anyways, my dad offered to pick up the prescriptions that afternoon and we were set.  He also watched the boys a few hours yesterday so I could get out of this house and so I could rest for an hour!!!  These few events have helped save my sanity!!

 **I was channeling my husband in my morning coffee yesterday.  It worked.  I tackled the day and got lots done.

4. My mom
It has been a rough year for this lady to say the least.  Yesterday she got me out of the house and we went to Harry and Izzys for lunch.  It was soooooooo yummy and so nice to catch up.  We see each other a lot and talk a few times a week but it was such a great few hours.


5. My boys
They keep me on my toes.  Holy moly.  They are sick and they have no interest in watching TV or taking it easy.  I could give Owen the iPad for days but it's such a rare occasion for me that he has figured out not to even ask. (Though yes...I do give in when I need to survive)

 Yesterday they played, and played, and played, and did not stop.  We finally had a night of sleep last night and we are up and at it again.  They also played great together which was super nice.  It made me think that someone was saying prayers for a smooth evening...and the prayers worked.  Jack as also been doing well (I think).  I didn't have many contractions yesterday and I had a pretty good night of sleep.  I got up every few hours but that is the new normal.

 If you look closely in this picture he made a Santa gingerbread with reindeer gingerbread all in a line.

 Cameron made his own elf this week and he put it on the mantle upside down.  The next morning our elf showed up right next to him.  The boys LOVE elf right now.  And this morning Cameron is taking his colored elf (who he named Cameron) and hiding him around the house.

Such a sweet picture....with so many superheros involved.
