Details, details

I have a lot to say y’all. A lot of post titles with nothing written yet. And it’s clogging up my head a little. But really, I’m still just trying to catch my breath here. It seems like we’ve been going from illness to illness to major event to illness and back again.

My kids are caught in this cycle of sinus infections that has been going on since November. It is brutal. Ellie and Abram are both on their nth course of antibiotics this winter. I don’t know why, they just can’t seem shake it. Today I’m disinfecting toys, bedding, doorknobs, etc. I hope it helps. My kids have WAY too many toys.

Abram—poor, poor Abram—in addition to his sinus infection also has a minor ear infection, conjuntivitis in both eyes AND he’s drooling like crazy because he’s getting in 2, maybe 3, new teeth. The boy is dripping from every orifice. Yuck. His nose is red from all the wiping and his eyes are red because I have to pry them open rather forcefully 4 times a day to get his eye drops in.

Now add in a good dose of travel, a case of bronchitis, a double middle ear infection, two kids’ birthdays, the flu for me followed with a sore throat and a visit from my parents. All in the past month.

Anyways…I missed a few “minor” details in the last housekeeping post.

1. Abram turned ONE last week. (March 6th is his birthday.)

1. My parents were here to visit for a couple of weeks. They went home last night. I HATE saying goodbye to them. I don’t think I’ll get to see them again, except for on Skype, until after Jason graduates in the summer of 2011.
