Motivation is waning over here. I’m not sure if it is just the sick kids (and now sick husband) or the whirlwind of our crazy chaos but I’m really tired today. I think I’m so relieved that Spring Break starts at 3:30 today that my body is just finally just slowing down.

But I’m most definitely NOT getting sick. Let’s just clear that up right now. No. I am not getting the creeping crud that everyone else seems to have around here.

I took Addie in for all her k-garten checkups (dentist and doctor) on Monday and squeezed Em in with her. I mean as long as I’m going to be there anyhow, right?

Dentist was fine. All looks good. Still cavity-free thankfully. And we get to the doctor and I asked if they could just do quick check of Em’s lungs since both girls have done nothing but cough All.Night.Long. For several weeks it seems like.

So the nurse asks if she has had a fever, loss of appetite, etc. All the normal questions. “No she has seemed fine it is just at night the wracking coughs are keeping them (and us!) up.”

“Hmmm…well she has a fever right now.”

“Uh…..really?” (Bad mother award for the week…right here.)

“And…she has a really bad ear infection.”

Fantastic. So she is on meds, but both the girls’ lungs sound great. It might just be allergies, drippy noses making them cough at night. Double fantastic.

So we have been medicining them, humidifying them and babying them. I think they are finally on the mend. And then J. comes home last night and can’t talk. Not a great way to start off our Spring Break here.

But we have a nice weekend of nothing really needing to be done and we can recuperate.

And all of Em’s diorama stuff is done, Open House is done, Jog-a-thon is done.

And I almost have the website done for my friend.

And I have some fun projects to sew.

And I think (if he is feeling better) that I may have talked J. into doing a co-ed adult soccer team with me on Sundays.

And we have booked a few days at a resort in Santa Barbara for next week.

So as long as we can get everyone healthy, I am excited for a very fun week ahead.

Hope you all have a restful, healthy weekend, too!
