First of all, I just want to thank all the people who commented on my last post. That was a difficult one to write and I truly appreciate those that wrote, because it really helped me out. Thank you soooo much. Every one of you made me feel a little better. Now, on to the rest of the story...
You ever feel like you just get kicked when your down? Well, geez louise! My whole house is sick. And listen, having 7 of your kids and you sick is not fun! Please...let me reiterate this...it is NOT fun for the whole house to be sick. Some have a respiratory infection, some have bad colds, some have earaches and those that aren't sick are sunburnt,because they got to go the rec pool with their Aunt. Thanks Aunt Becky, we love you!!!
It's a little bit after midnight and my poor husband is at Urgent Care with my 4 year old daughter who has a horrible earache. Why didn't we take her earlier you ask? Well, that would be because she didn't complain about it until about 11:45 p.m. Talk about bad timing, huh? I don't know how my husband is going to get to work in the morning. He has a reputation for falling asleep at the wheel. Funny story, one night when I was pregnant and got hungry at about 1:00a.m. and wanted something to eat, I sent Kelvin out to get me something to eat. (Places are open 24 hours here) About 10 minutes later I get a phone call from the local police who asked me if my husband had a medical problem. I started to say no, and then I remembered he has diabetes, so I told them that Yes, he has diabetes. They then told me that I needed to come pick him up because he was in no shape to drive. So...I had to wake up my sister to drive me down to McDonald's which is no more than 3 min. away, so I could drive my husband home. I was really worried until I found out he was sleeping while he was driving and only going about 3 miles an hour. That's why the polices pulled him over! He was going to slow!!! They didn't believe him when he said he was just tired.
Another funny story that happened tonight. While my husband and I were getting the medicine for my daughter who has a respiratory infection, my other daughter who we thought only had a cold, started crying and told her sister Laura to call us and tell her Mommy, "My ear is broken" Yup, she's the one with the ear infection. Oh! Did I tell you that this was the second time that my husband has been to the Urgent Care today? Poor man...I love that he'll do this for his family. He's such a good man! I love him dearly.(so cliche, but totally true!)
Well... I'll let you go for now. My tales of woe will be brief I hope. The summer months are here and we don't have time for this crud!

Oh MAN! OH MAN! I hate when my two are sick, I don't know how I could handle your load. You guys are such great parents. When we are all sick I just keep reminding myself that a week goes by quickly...this too shall pass always runs through my mind!
THat is so funny about your husband falling to sleep, but so scary! It's good that he had a sleepy foot too! If I even had cravings when I was pregnant at 1 in the morning I don't think my husband would ever grant them!!!
Isn;t it strange that it's hot outside.. but kids have colds?? We are in the same boat here.. but only 1 kid... not seven!! You are a trooper!!
OH. MY. Good. Ness! So glad you wrote that down for history. Who would of believed it?!
Someone has put a "jinx" on your house. Friday the 13th maybe??? Just kidding though.
I sure hope all settles down for your soon. I had to laugh at your husband falling asleep at the wheel. That is SO funny! So glad his guardian angel was looking out for him and sent the police, before anything serious happened!!!
You certainly have one of the best men there. He sounds like Father and Husband of the year. What do you have planned for him on Sunday?
P.S. Thanks for your comments on my blog. I just drove my parents to the airport. They were blessed to find 2 emergency tickets to England to be with my brother. It doesn't look good. Thanks for your continued prayers.
