  As i sit  in bed,I think of how long it has been since I posted here..WOW. Really it seems like it was just yesterday. I have been so busy, I really don't know where to start...or continue from!

  The kids have all been sick this week..last night I was woken up by 4 of them with fevers. Jonathan went to the ER with Daddy because he ran a high temp and would not stop coughing. I think I would have just let him ride it out if it hadn't been for all the issues with his sinus disease and periodic fever this past year. I am actually very happy for once they gave him antibiotics,I sure don't want him to deal with that again.

   

   

  

  (do you have ANY idea how hard it is to get them both to smile at the same time?)

   

  Laura woke up this morning with a fever as well,and Carter had it two days ago. So that covers all of them..I feel fine,and so does Mark for now,good thing.

  Right now I feel like I have accomplished the impossible,and I am pooped to say the least. This morning,as I was trying to make it to the coffee pot,

  I changed two diapers,
  put two on the toilet,
  got three dressed,
  Got one a drink,
  popped two bagels in the toaster,
  washed the blankets that were puked on,
  swept up the cat food Alaina "fed" to the cats
  

  so on and so forth...it was 11am and I finally made the coffee. I don't even remember if I ate breakfast.(actually I didn't) I did manage to down a tall cold glass of water,which is just as refreshing as coffee to a full time nursing mom. 

  

   

  I ran around all day today..Mark left for work at 11am (thats how I remembered the coffee was still not made) He left without his coffee  and now it is 10:30 pm and I am missing him and feeling bad I didn't have it made for him.

  Really don't ask how I made it through today,because I don't have a clue. I guess you just have to do whats next,and keep going. Feeding, bathing ,changing...Of course I would not trade this for anything, everyday is different,it's not all craziness all the time,like some people I'm sure think. I did manage to down a handful of broccoli (left over from dinner)on my way through the kitchen to throw away three diapers.(one I found wedged in the couch cushions) I didn't even think about it,like exactly HOW long it was there.

  

   

  I am off to make my rounds checking the kids before I lay down for the night,I figure if I check them now,Mark will be home around 12:30am so he will check them then.

  Well now as I finished typing this,Sienna woke up coughing,and the baby woke up from her coughing. I have a feeling tonight will be LONG.

  Because he was so stinken cute with his turtle neck peeking over his bed at me,I had to get this picture on here! He does this now,when he hears me,or someone else in the room if he is awake.

  

  He is on his belly,he couldn't possibly stretch his neck around any further!

  (Ignore the pink blanket he is sleeping on,I grabbed it from Alainas stash when he puked last night,I don't believe he cares!)
