These are the days...

...when I wonder where I'm going to find the strength to carry on as a mom.

First Hannah had the fever with a horrendous stuffy nose. It started in the 101's and by day three spiked to 103. Then Ruth got it (still has it). Her fever spiked yesterday. And when I thought it might be over, because Joshua never gets sick, and I mean never. Never say "never," though, because the school nurse called and told me his fever is 101.2. Gonna strap myself in for another rough four days. So much for making it to school tomorrow.

At least I'm getting the hang of this virus. Two days of 101-102 temps, third day of 103 temp, and then back down into the 101's until it breaks. Horrible stuffy nose, cough and nasty headache. The cold side of the virus lasts about week after the fever ends. Now, I am just praying Jeremy. and I don't get this. And if you live near by, I highly recommend staying away, unless you've already had it.

That's almost exactly what we had here except Ty's turned into strep, S3 ended up with the ear infection and the high fever made E puke (what a surprise! You mean baby-pukes-a-lot threw up???).

I appreciate you watching E yesterday despite everything else you have going on. You are a very good sister.

PS I really enjoyed Jer's video. Especially the part where we got to see your butt. ROTFL!
