Don't Send Your Resume Just Yet

**Update too short for a new post and I'm ready for a nap**
Took both kids to the Dr. this morning (with help from Sean since he's home :)) Ty has a sinus infection and Charlie has a virus unless the strep test comes back after two days positive. Our Dr. thought she might have a UTI so they used a cathetor--one of you nurse types teach me how to spell that--to get a urine sample. That test was negative...Poor Charlie had a rough morning. Lots of videos and cuddling on the horizon.

I'm beginning to think I'm not good for babysitters. I've only had them for a few years but we've managed to make things hard for them--bad timing, bad circumstances, etc. I've already locked one out of the house while she had both kids (sorry Katelyn!), left one without a bottle in the house, forgotten to pay another, and today a poor girl had to break what I'm sure is a rule for her and call me while we were out to come home. Charlie is teething so she's been unusually whiny and clingy but seemed fine. Apparently she woke up from her nap really fussy and had thrown up three times before the babysitter called me--so glad she did--so I told her she did the right thing. Sarah, you did the right thing! She felt hot so I took her fever and she had 102.5. I just got home from the ped. after hours place and after convincing them that my pediatrician really DOES exist even though she works in the faraway land of Irving, the Dr. looked Charlie over. She guessed it was strep but the test was negative...if she's not better tomorrow we're taking her in for another test. Did you know you're supposed to request they grow it (what is IT?) for five days to make sure? Me neither.

Anyway, if you're thinking of getting on our payroll, might want to give it another thought. I guess the fact that I'm not exactly always "together" impacts those around me from time to time. Thank the Lord Sean is home when she is sick this time!

How sad! Hope the afternoon went well and you stayed warm and cozy inside! :) Hopefully the kids will feel better before Sean leaves again.

Oh poor thing. You know it was really bad pain for her to actually fuss and cry. (Don't worry - you are not as bad as Nattie... who locked her grandkids and the keys in the car in the heat of summer.)

Oh, bless your heart! I am so with you! What was the Lord thinking, giving me not one, but 2 and you not 2, but 3?????

Oh, I hope your little ones are feeling better soon! I also hope you stay well, as mom's aren't allowed to get sick, especially during the holidays! Hang in there...just stopping by from Emily's! Love from Colorado, Denise :-)
