So it was kinda a rough day.
Well, it was a rough night first.
Cassi and Porter were both up several times during the night.
Cassi keeps complaining about her feet going to sleep and tingling.
Weird.
I need to go and watch how she sleeps...anyway...
I had an early morning with Porter and Elsie.
Then Porter started coughing so hard, he threw-up.
I felt so bad for him.
Anyway, got that cleaned up...
The big girls woke up, got them ready for school...and I may have been a little grumpy, because of my lack of sleep.
So things didn't go very smooth with them...
Anyway...a few other things...big cup of water spilling in the living room, and Elsie missing her bus...and some other stuff...I was fit to be tied.
I told Brent that I felt like I was in a train wreck...that got crashed into by an airplane...during an earthquake.
I guess we all have mornings like that, right?
After I got the big girls off to school, I ran and got dressed and ready...took Elsie to school...then did my much needed grocery shopping.
Which was fine, except the boy was miserable.
We got most of what needed to get done, done.
Then Jenni and I swapped babysitting so we could both get a workout at the gym.
And boy, that is just what I needed!
So things simmered a bit.
Or maybe I simmered, so everything else didn't seem as bad.
The boy is still miserable.
He is complaining about his ear now, which he wasn't before.
His cough is pretty rough sounding....
And he isn't sleeping well cause of that dang cough.
And I forgot what antibiotics do to a kid...you know, in the diaper.
So now his bum is chaffed...his nose is chaffed from all the wiping...
But no need to worry...he is getting LOTS of loves...mingled with time spent in time-out, of course.
I think a good nights rest will do a lot of good for him...lets hope it happens.
I could use some of that good nights sleep too.

I was just told a trick that is supposed to work 100% of the time to get rid of a cough: Rub Vapor Rub on the feet and put on thick socks. Go to sleep. Cough should start going away immediately.
Hey! It's worth a try!
Sorry about your rough day! They happen! It's nice when they happen only once in a while!
Hope your kiddos sleep better tonight!
I have actually heard of the remedy that April is talking about, I haven't used it personally but it may be worth the try!
I hope your kiddos get feeling better soon, seems like a bunch of stuff is going around, we have sore throats around here...
Kim, I am so sorry. A morning like that would have sent me to the loony bin! One little tip for Porter's bum, which you may already know about, but I just discovered it last year...Aquafor. It is a thick vaseline type ointment that puts a protective coat on while also working to heal. It is kind of expensive, but it is the only thing I use anymore, on diaper rashes, or any other little dry patch or rash. Even dry cheeks or chapped lips. I hope the rest of your day is better!
Another thing that works great is Resinol. You can buy it at the Pharmacy. It's 5-6 for a little tub but it works wonders for sore bums. My good friend sold me on it. You don't have to have a prescription just ask them at the Pharmacy coutner. Sometimes they have to order it in...but it's woerth it!
