Teaching my children to question authority, except mine.

Why yes, we are still alive

April28

Our household has been struck with a strange assortment of ailments this week so blogging just hasn’t happened.  Sabrina threw up in her bed on Monday morning and complained of her stomach hurting for an hour and then seemed fine.  (Child has the constitution of an ox…she is never sick for more than a couple of hours.)  She was quite upset that I insisted she spend a little time on the couch taking it easy.  Steve has a cold or sinus infection and is feeling crappy.  Tessa has 6 teeth coming in right now so she is pleasant.  And out of the blue on Monday night, I spiked a fever.  And I haven’t been able to get it to break.  No other symptoms (other than the associated aches and crankiness associated with fever).

Sabrina is ready to lose her mind because every morning she asks where we are going today and for the past 2 days she has received the disappointing news that we aren’t going anywhere because mommy is sick.

Sick mommy and sick daddy = no cooking.  Monday night, I picked up Chinese because I figured the soup and the spicy mustard might aid in clearing out Steve’s sinuses (and it did briefly).  Tessa loves fried rice and mai fun so she was quite happy.

I’m hoping to break this stupid fever today and be back to normal tomorrow.

    So sorry you are still sick – but I commend your ability to take such cute pistures despite your fever. I always hated being sick (who likes it) but being sick as a mom is utter torture. Good Luck.

    When it rains, it pours, huh?

    E had a similar mystery vomit yesterday. I am praying it was a freak occurrence and not a portend of things to come : )

    Yea, I’d say Tessa looks pretty happy in that last picture and she looks so grown up too. I am amazed at how fast these kids grow. Almost every night when I pick Serena up from preschool she asks me where we are going. The nights I tell her nowhere she’s not too happy. Well, she’s not too happy until we get home. Then she’s happy. (?) I don’t get it. I hope you’re all feeling back to normal soon.
