Sick again???

Hello everyone. I can't wait until all the sickness is gone in this family and spring is totally here. I mean snow melted, mud dried up, and flowers blooming spring. Just because March 21st is the OFFICIAL DAY of Spring doesn't mean spring is here. I had to take Jazmine to the ER Sunday because her ear was draining tons of gunk and she was clearly in pain. Her earache began late Friday night and made it difficult to sleep for her and myself. I am assuming that the pain from her ear made her sick to her stomach and made her throw up around 3am. She finally made it to sleep around 5am. On Saturday she seemed better, but later in the day her ear started draining a bit. By Sunday lots of blood and pus was pouring out so I decided not to wait to take her to her doctor on Monday so I took her to the ER Sunday. She is on medicine now but her ear is still draining alot. The other two are fine so far (knock on wood). Spring break is next week so maybe the germs will stay away for a little while. The good news is business is starting to pick up for both my husband and I. This time of year is aggravating! So slow. So if anyone needs a new roof or some relationship advice, let me know. Good bye for now I need to get these stinking taxes done! Wish me luck!

Hello again!

Hi everyone! Today I am exhausted! I haven't been feeling well and that of course is due to all the illness running wild through the house these past few weeks so I suppose it is finally my turn. This time of year is so difficult. Time change creeps up and isn't ironic that one hour can have such a negative effect on the entire day. It will take a least two weeks to get used to waking up earlier and getting a grip on the day. Anyway the kids are doing well and I am so happy for that. It is definitely time for a recovery period. Oh, hopefully spring will be here soon I am craving the sunshine and the lovely flowers and colors that come with it. Another issue with this time of year is TAX TIME!! Taxes are great after you file but getting everything ready is a huge hassle! We will hopefully get to file and get it all over with this week! Well I am still working on my project for this unit so I am going to have a long night to hopefully finish it! Talk to ya'll later!!

I am back!!!

Hello Everyone.

Well I am back from Vegas and I am so tired! The convention was great! There was a lot of great information and I learned so much about running my business, taxes, advertising, and how to gain more customers. I also had a blast! I could not believe all the things you can do in Las Vegas! It was crazy. Every night we went out as a group and did something new and the result was not getting to bed until about 3am every morning then getting up at 6am to attend classes! So no wonder I am so tired, but I had a great time. The kids were great for grandma and everything went smooth. My husband went with me and he did get alittle bored when I was in class, but when I was released we were able to do something really fun. I even had the opportunity to meet a pirate who is actually in the pirate show at treasure island and he hung out with our group for awhile. I can't wait till next years convention! The trip home was not so great. We flew to Salt Lake City without incident, but when we arrived we had a three and a half hour drive to get home. We started our trek thinking we were ahead of the storm and we were so ready to get home and see our babies. It started snowing about an hour into our journey and became really bad to where we couldn't see ten feet ahead of the truck. We were an hour from home and had to stop and stay the night where we were. Luckily we were stranded in my husbands home town and we were able to stay at his Mom's house. When we woke up there was so much snow that we had to wait nearly all day for the roads to be cleared before we could leave. It was torture! We arrived home and we were so happy to see the kids and they were so excited to see us. I will never forget those little giggles and the feel of soft little squeezes of love that we received when we walked through the door. When we were gone my kids came down with small little colds which was not big deal, we did not think so anyway. My three year old has asthma, so we were a little concerned, but she seemed fine until Saturday. She started coughing more and more and finally I took her in. They had thought she had bronchitis and sent us home with instructions for breathing treatments and all that. She did not improve. We toughed things out on Sunday and I took her in again yesterday. They tested her for RSV which she tested positive for. They did chest x-rays and found a small amount of fluid in her lungs which may indicate developing pneumonia. I have to take her in everyday to make sure it doesn't progress. I feel so bad for her. She hasn't been sleeping very well because she is coughing so much so she looks so pale and tired during the day with dark circles under her eyes. I pray she gets better and doesn't get pneumonia. My poor baby! My six year old son has an ear infection, but he is doing better than he was. The baby seems to be fine but I need to keep a close eye on her and I have to take her in everyday too so they can check her. RSV can be bad for children under two and cause lasting effects like asthma which is the exact reason my three year old Dakoda has asthma now. I was hoping Dakoda's tonsillectomy would help her stay healthy, but it doesn't protect her from RSV. I hope everyone is doing well and thanks for all of your comments on all my posts. I thought this blog was going to be a pain, but it helps to relieve my stress and gives me an out so to speak to talk about my life and puts things in perspective. Goodnight! Hopefully everyone gets a good full nights sleep!!
