It’s a beautiful day today. Sunny and 90
\n degrees!! It’s not supposed to last, but I’ll enjoy it while I
\n can (by sitting in the living room, updating the blog :) ). We
\n went grocery shopping this morning and now both kids are
\n napping. I love it. I just realized that Lex’s party is just
\n around the corner and I haven’t done anything at all to
\n prepare. Today I started making lists. That’s a good first
\n step, right? :) I also ran my birthday cake idea by Lex. He
\n smiled and said it was a fun cake, but not what he wanted.
\n Instead he choose two layers, vanilla on top, strawberry on
\n bottom, with chocolate frosting and colored sprinkles on top.
\n Soo… that will be the cake :) And I got a bunch of guest
\n RSVPs back in the past few days, so it’s starting to feel like
\n a party!<\/p>\n
We’ve had a rough few days
\n around here. The downside to daycare (sickness!) hit sooner
\n than I was expecting. Lex had been feverish off and on for a
\n few days, which is normal for him, but also started just after
\n his first day at daycare. Then on Tuesday (day two of daycare)
\n Eve woke up with very goopy eyes. She seemed fine otherwise so
\n I cleaned them up and sent her to daycare. Tuesday afternoon
\n they were goopy again and both kids had think, greenish snot.
\n Yuck! Wednesday morning I woke up with an obvious case of
\n pink-eye. Blech!! The moistness and discomfort is bad, but
\n wearing glasses (especially on bright, sunny days) is a million
\n times worse!! I kept the kids home from daycare and we all went
\n to the doctor Wednesday morning. I was cranky because I had to
\n pay for daycare anyway (which is ok and part of the contract)
\n and was losing money because I couldn’t go to work, and have to
\n pay for the doctor visit on top of it all!! I guess I’m getting
\n a taste of what millions of women deal with on a regular basis.
\n Thankfully I have a strong husband with a good, salaried job
\n and benefits to support the rest of us! Anyway, the pedi said
\n that we just have a viral infection (all of us, and probably
\n Alan too) which happened to cause an infection in mine and
\n Eve’s eyes. She said we are contagious, but no more or less so
\n then the common cold, and the virus may or may not cause eye
\n infections in others. My eyes look worse than Eve’s and she
\n said that’s most likely because I wore my contacts on Tuesday,
\n before I had any symptoms. So now we are all recovering from
\n this virus, trying our best to act sweet to one another. Today
\n Lex is definitely on the up-swing, with just a bit of runny
\n nose. Eve still has goopy eyes, but they are getting better and
\n her runny nose is also getting better (clearer snot at least!).
\n My eyes are feeling less goopy and looking less red. Yay!<\/p>\n
As a responsible person I asked the doc
\n about canceling Lex’s party and she said she wouldn’t. She said
\n most likely by Sunday we will all be fine, and if not, it’s
\n just a virus, like the cold, and not anything major. She said,
\n “most likely half the kids there will already have a cold
\n anyway.” Sooo… I’m hoping we are all healthy by Sunday! (and
\n hoping I can wear my contacts again!!!) <\/p>\n
Hopefully they are both healthy by next Tuesday so I can
\n send them back to daycare to collect more germs! Crazy world.<\/p>\n
I know this blog is getting a pretty
\n text heavy, but I’ve been having problems with my camera
\n lately. I just bought new batteries (not rechargable, shhh!!!)
\n and I hope that will help. I’ll try to post pics of the lovely
\n children soon. I’m sure there will be a million take this
\n weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
