Just Can't Stay Away

From the doctor's office, that is! We made our weekly visit today LOL! Not really but it does feel that way sometimes. FlowerChild went the first of the month with her ears. LadyBug and Cornbread went last week, him for a checkup, her for bronchitis.

Last night FlowerChild was up for hours crying with her ears hurting. Another double ear infection! It was a pretty severe infection from the way our doctor acted when he examined her. He is such a sweetie. I don't know if he would like being decribed in such terms....he has all boys and loves to hunt, etc. But he truly is so kindhearted and my children think the world of him. (even if Cornbread did crawl under the chair and hide, just still as could be - it was so cute!) The doctor checked Cornbread's ears since he has been sick with the same cold. He had an infection in one ear. Arghh...I hate for my babies to be sick! Babies meaning any of my children!

So everyone has had their antibiotic now. It's late and they are winding down. One in my lap with his little fingers entwined in my hair. The other two curled up on a pallet in the floor. Actually LadyBug is still a little bouncy since she slept in the car so she is flitting between the pallet and a chair. Cornbread slept too but it's making him more cranky than bouncy! As for me there's not much bounce but at least I'm not cranky either! :) I'm just hoping to go at least a few weeks before we have to see the doctor's office again!

    Oh, I hope your babies get better! My children always had ear infections. Recently, our whole family, I think, had swine flu. My sister in law visited from Mexico and even though she was never sick with the flu, she could have been a carrier. We are ok now, but we are taking our oldest baby, 22, to the doctor on Monday.

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Why the Hurry?

We are indulging in an early lunch today after having a late breakfast. I would say it is due to growth spurts but I'm not sure. Unfortunately mine tend to be outward rather than upward so I am hoping that isn't the case for Mama! :P As I went towards the kitchen to fix lunch LadyBug frantically called, "Wait, wait! Mama look at my picture!" She had worked so hard to color a kitty in a coloring book. The head was royal blue and the body orange while it sported a jaunty red bow. (Just so you Auburn fans know it...there was some Crimson Tide thrown in there, ha!) I praised her for staying in the lines while in my head I thought of how an adult would have had to made it look more real. Have you noticed that about children? The majority of young children never color a picture to look real. They use different colors all over. FlowerChild used to color pictures of people and animals with a pattern of up to 8 colors at a time! Have you ever seen a plaid horse? How about a st...

Happenings Around Here

Well, another dog lost. :( This time it wasn't a car but something more sinister...a rattlesnake. She was bitten yesterday evening and lasted about 4 1/2 hours. Poor little Chi-Chi is only about 6 pounds or so and just couldn't take the venom. LadyBug seems to be taking it the hardest among the children. Our Bassett Hound, Daisy, and Chi-Chi are the best of friends and poor Daisy has spent the day looking for her. So sad. The GuitarMan has finished his semester and is home now. I introduced him to Pilates this morning. We worked out together. Ha ha, now if that wasn't a sight I just don't know what would be! He has a new found admiration for it now though. Afterwards I cut the FisherMan's hair outside under the plum tree while the children played in the pool. He asked if there was a way we could be any more redneck. I had plenty of ideas on that if he wanted but he didn't want to take part lol. Apparently it was a rhetorical question. This week was one of apprec...
