So we have all passed around a stomach bug here in the house and now chip has a head and chest cold. This has been such a rough 2 weeks! When Tony and I ended up with the stomach virus, we had it on two Tuesdays ago within 3 hours of each other (9:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.)!!! This left nobody to take care of Chip. That meant only one thing... call in the reinforcements! At 2:00 a.m. a phone call was made to Hoppie and Papa for back up! They came with gatorade for mommy and daddy and armed with masks and germ-x, they took chip out of his bed @ 2:00 a.m. to take him to their house and there he stayed until Saturday. MIND YOU i was supposed to be in a class from Wednesday til Friday and ended up, obviously, missing that! Well, Chip got home, all was grand, we all went back to work on Monday, life was great, Tuesday rolled around, the world was rolling right along and i was set to start class on Wednesday. Thuesday evening, 6:00 p.m., we are pulling out of the office, and the projectile vomiting ensued from Chip.... AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Well, what do you do, but put your big girl panties on and make it happen. I cleaned him up and dried off his carseat enough so that i could at least get him home and then realized, who is going to handle this tomorrow!?!? - i've got class!!! Well, daddy was left in charge and they did great! I got through my class, chip got better but then he got a head and chest cold and a TERRIBLE attitude. so now, i'm dealing with a toddler that is pushing terrible 2's anyway, on top of one who hasn't felt good for about a week, has a terrible cough and can't breathe out of his nose.
OH YEAH and just to top it all off, i won the award this morning for the worst mom in the world! Chip, apparently, gagged himself on phlem when he was coughing and vomited in his sleep and i never knew it until this morning when we all woke up....
so all of that to say, "whew! I'm tired and ready for us to all feel better!"
Hope that this finds all of YOU feeling fine and doing well. Hope that the next post will be fun and exciting with happy news and fun stories!

We feel your pain. It was URIs here. I had it a month ago, gave it to Kent a few days later, he had it for a good 2 weeks, Bronchitis. He gave it to Yukie that final week and she just got over it last week. For 3 weeks this house was sick.
Take Care
