All in a week

Wow, I had no idea it has been so long again since I blogged. Things are getting crazy around this time of the year. Amy came home from a sleep over on Saturday and had a pretty hefty cough and cold. Sunday was the trip to Bass pro shop for Santa pictures. (note to self next year go on a week night and earlier in the month.) Now I will move onto Monday.

Monday: First day of work for the week, always hard to get out of the house. this past Monday was really hard. Minnie was not feeling well, she throw up in Hannahs room Sunday night and then was up almost all night. So when the time came to get up iI was slow moving. Amy was still coughing and not feeling very well. She managed to get to school.

Tuesday: Oh my what a night. Hannah came down with Amy's cough and was up ALL night. Crying, coughing, congested just over all miserable. So Tuesday morning was day 2 of no sleep and I was exhausted.

Wednesday: Day 3 of NO sleep, Hannah again up all night coughing and gagging on her phlegm, she was tossing around and crying in our bed and gagging when all of a sudden she throw up on Kent's pillow right next to his head. So we all jumped up Kent took Hannah to the couch so I could take the bed apart, start laundry and remake the bed. Needless to say by Wednesday afternoon I was EXHAUSTED!!! So exhausted that I went to talk to the girls in the back office and lean against the wall, well I sprained my ankle and fell into the doorway hitting my shoulder and bruising my shoulder and my foot. Of coarse the girls laughed at me, I laughed at me otherwise I would have cried.

Thursday: What a surprise another sleepless night. Hannah up all night crying coughing and miserable. this time I had to get ready for the office Christmas party. the doctor I work for took us to South Coast gave us some spending money and then we met up at Charlie Palmers for Lunch. this was my first trip EVER to South Coast. I really liked the Macy's and Nordy's but it was just a a very expensive mall. Would I go back you asked? Probably not. Way to high end for my budget. I had 2 other girls and an infant with me in my car and I never drive to Orange county so by the time we left it was 4:00 p.m. and traffic, well I missed the 55 fwy and lets just say we made it back to Corona in 2 hours!! I was so frustrated and tired and mad that I was lost. Might just be another reason I wouldn't go back. I could go to Riverside or Victoria Gardens and be just fine. Now home totally exhausted and just wanted to go to bed, I met Kent and the kids at Rodrigos for dinner. Across from us was a family that I read her blog from time to time, I didn't have enough courage to say hi, besides not sure that she has ever read mine. So what do you say Hi my name is Traci and I blog stalk you.

Friday: Are you freaking kidding me another sleepless night? So tired that I poured Amy's coco puffs into my coffee cup! UGH Not a great way to start the morning nor to end the week. So now I am debating taking her to the doctor or not. I was afraid I would go and pay the copay and like always be told she just has a viral cold and nothing they can do about it. I ended up calling and getting in at 10:45 a.m., turns out Hannah has a DOUBLE ear infection! She never one time complained about her ears. She must have just been so miserable that she didn't know what hurt. We got an Rx for Amoxicillin finally, we knew why she was so sick.

Saturday: Whoopee first almost full night sleep all week. Hooray!! I woke up once about 2:30 a.m. but was able to get myself back to sleep without too much hassle. I rarely sleep ALL night long, for some reason I wake up many times to check the house, bed check the kids, make sure Rick is home and if not check my phone to make sure he didn't try to call. Usually Minnie needs to go out at least once a night and then Kents snores so bad that I usually have a hard time getting back to sleep. Not this night, I don't think much would have keep me awake for long. I will say that I do have a sore scratchy throat now and my ears feel like they may be getting a little drainage to them UGH, hope I don't get what Amy and Hannah have.
