WILL THE SICKNESS NEVER END???!!??!? or..Mr. Magorium's vomit? Emporium??


It's day 12 and there is still sickness in the house.  There has been stomach virus, flu like symptoms, ear infections, new teeth in the babies, and more.  Tonight Mia had a fever, for the second time.  It was 101.3 and she generally felt crappy.  I am definitely taking both my kids in to see Dr. Coffey monday morning cause this is never ending.  I feel like I am living in an insane asylum right now.  There has been someone sick, crying, vomiting, having diarrhea, clinging to me clinging to Hillary, not sleeping, or just generally acting fussy every day for the last two weeks.  Happy Easter!  We did manage to have a really nice "sleepover" with Mia, Hillary, Shelby and me.  We rented Mr. Magoruim's Wonder Emporium and had cookies and cream milkshakes and nachos and painted our toenails.  All the left toes red and all the right toes green.  Shelby said he would paint one toenail just for Mia, but somehow managed to avoid having to do so.  Mia had an awesome time and then she slept in bed with me and Shelby.  The next day was full of barf.  Good times...  

What's happening right now?  Well, Lennon just woke up and cried for about half an hour.  I went in to him and comforted him as much as I could, but he still cried until just about five minutes ago.  Just before all this sickness he had started sleeping like a dream.  Twelve hours straight through the night without a peep.  The last four or five nights there has been at least one if not two or three awakenings and at least one middle of the night feeding.  What happened???  He may just be teething, or he may have an ear infection in which case I need to go into him and comfort him when he cries.  On the other hand, if the habit is just forming then I am really screwing up by going in every time he cries out.  I am pretty obviously delirious from all this sickness and non sleeping that has occurred lately, and need to go to bed.  Just wanted to update the blog since I hadn't been on in a while.  Mia is very excited about the Easter Bunny visiting tonight and looking forward to Ella, Diva and Jessica visiting church with us tomorrow morning -  that is assuming that we go if she isn't too sick to be in with the other children at church.  As Mia would say, Ay yi yi ( no clue on the spelling of that btw.)  Who knows where this plague has come from.  My only hope is that it disappears as quickly as it came upon us all.
