The feeling of a whirlwind, not that I have ever really felt a whirlwind mind you. BUT, being whirled and twirled throughout the day could be an accurate description of high force winds.
It all started at 4am this morning. Joey (youngest) came to our room complaining that his ear was hurting. I pull him into bed with us, checking his forehead along the way.....normal. For an hour he fidgets (he was not able to get comfy), I give him some Tylenol and put him back to bed. He wakes early (6 o'clock) and now feels more warm than normal. He refuses breakfast and we take Sam to school. Back at home he falls asleep and I call a friend for advice. Should we go to the doc's or stay??? Am I silly to be concerned??? Yea, just when you think you have the parenting thing down, right? :) I was just finishing my conversation and Joe comes to me crying and holding his head. I call Daddy, he says "I want you to go to the ER." I get all the three kids to the ER and the waiting process begins. Ben comes to help and while Joey and I are ushered into a private room Ben comes to me and explains that Sam's school called. "He's complaining of an earache. Please come pick him up." said the wonderful receptionist. Off Ben and the other two kids go to get Sam and take him to an urgent care. I leave 45 min. later with Josiah, go to the nearest pharmacy for meds (ear infection) and I call my Mom to see if she can come get the Child while I wait for the meds. I, armed with drugs, get back to the house just in time for the cable guy to install our internet and phone. Mom delivers Joey and I wait for Mr. Cable to finish so I can trade with Ben so he can get back to work. I finish with Sam (he'd been at the urgent place a total of 2.75 hours. What part of over two hours is URGENT?), get his meds. (ear infection) and get home! Margarita anyone?!?
Holy Moly! And that's just thirteen hours of my day! Add on to that the fact that we've only been in our new place for 76 hours and I'm craving girl time and sunshine and I bet you'll be able to feel the breeze too.
You wouldn't be off track if you thought I'd be in bed by 8.30 tonight......I'll post later about our move. For the time being, I'm gonna just sit and stare at the wall......and I'm being completely serious right now. Hum, I've never noticed that speck on this portion of the wall before.......

What a great Mommy and Daddy your kids have. I guess you and the family have some inevitable and much needed down time this week.:) We are praying for your boys and the family. Enjoy the wall.:)
I hope the boys are alright now. I hate when the school calls! I feel so bad for the kids.
Praying the winds die down and sleep comes easy tonight.
I hope the boys are feeling better and it hasn't spread to anyone else. Something must be going around right now...
I cannot believe you got moved so fast. AMAZING. What great helpers your kids can now be though. I'm sure much more so than the last time you went through the whole ordeal.
How is Sam adjusting is school?
I hope the boys feel better soon. Sounds like you need to go use that jetted tub.
Oh Katy! Hopefully the antibiotics have kicked in and everyone is doing better...I'll be praying!! Love you!
