Sickness, Nastiness, and Grossness

This last month has been hard... to say the least, it has been hard.  We have all been sick on and off.  Mostly nasty head colds, some days are worse then others and some days, I get a ray of hope that we are all on the mend, but by the next day, I am once again reminded that we are full of grossness!  Ive had it, I'm at my breaking point and I just don't want to do it anymore.  Sleepless nights of coughing, and kids coughing, and waking up so stuffed up that you cant breath.  Runny noses, fevers, chills, missing school, birthday parties, and sports.  I am sooooooo completely over it.  I know that they are in school, and its inevitable that they are going to get sick, but right now, I don't feel like I have anything left.  I am begging for these germs to take pity on our family and to kindly just pass us by, but since they decided not to listen to me, I have decided that its time to blow them out of the water!!

I don't have time for this crap anymore!  I am about to go into labor and I need everyone healthy, not to mention that this is taking a lot out of me... both physically, and mentally.  I went to my doc about 3 weeks ago asking for antibiotics, and she said that I wasn't sick enough for them... well I went again last Thursday (to someone else in the same office) and I have an ear and sinus infection... so I guess I was sick enough for them this time and I hope it kicks in soon!  This morning, Blake woke up with his eyes crusted shut... we were like "OMG HE HAS PINK EYE"  so, Kyle took both the boys to the doc at 9 this morning, and Blake has a pretty hard core sinus infection that's draining out his eyes... grossest thing I have ever seen, but not pink eye... and Luke is holding steady with an ear infection.  So, more antibiotics, and they gave Blake some eye drops to help his eyes clear up faster... I think its more of a fight then anything to get those drops in there.   We spent the day doing nothing.  Blake had to miss a birthday party that he was devastated about, poor guy was crying in the doctors office when the Doc told him that he couldn't go.  Its just so sad to me, there wasn't much I could do to make it better and it just breaks my heart. 

Grandma and Grandpa came to the rescue with some new toys, and a lot of snuggles.  We are so lucky that they are happy to snuggle up and help us take care of our sick kiddos.  It kind of gave us a break, and someone else for me to talk to since cabin fever is starting to set in!  We are so thankful for them!!  They stayed most of the day and then after many long showers, nose blows, and movies and games on their tablets, they went to bed... quite easily, which is always a good thing :)  Kyle is still the only healthy one, which I am super surprised about since we have all been breathing our germs on him, but he has a hockey game tonight, so since the kids were sleeping he decided to go, and I think that I am going to take the time to take a bath, and pop in You've Got Mail... and pray that since we are all on medication now, that tomorrow will be a better day.  Please lord, let tomorrow be a better day, and help my boys heal so we can be ready for our sweet baby boy to be born into a healthy family!!  I'm running out of time to get us all back to normal!
