No Time

Well, I didn't get any time this weekend to work on the blog, like I would have liked to. The kids are sick...............they follow me around, even though Roman and his Mom are here.......noooooo, they want Mommy! Especially when they are sick. It started off with Carter.....I think it usually does......as he sucks his fingers. He had a low grade fever for a couple of days and would wake up screaming (and dripping in sweat) and coughing. Then yesterday his temp went up to 101.8, but today he didn't have one and seemed to be doing better, so I didn't take them to the Dr. Sidney started coughing pretty badly last night too.............it kept waking her up, so Roman ended up sleeping with her for half of the night. I was up past Midnight, trying to get some things done.....I didn't get whole lot done, but it's good that I was up, as the boys both woke up 2-3 times each.....of course, not at the same time, so I was up and down and in there a lot. Then Sidney woke up before 6am and crawled in bed with me........she did eventually go back to sleep, but then Carter woke up just before 7am. (The boys usually sleep until 8am like clock work.) I calmed him down and took him downstairs and laid with him on the couch and turned on the Disney Channel. Thankfully, Roman's Mom had gotten a good night's sleep and came out and took Carter, so I could lay down some more. Sidney did sleep until about 9am.....so that's good, but then tonight the coughing was really bad again and she kept waking up..........I was in there for over an hour! I eventually went and got my laptop and a friend of mine had actually sent me an e-mail about putting Vicks vapor rub on her feet and then putting socks on her. Of course, in true Sidney style........she wouldn't keep the socks on, (because the seems bother her........even though I had turned the socks inside out!) Her feet will be freezing to the touch and she will want to wear flip-flops. It's a good thing that we don't live where it snows! Cameron started coughing today too, and has a low grade temperature......but he seems to be doing "ok". We'll have to see how it goes........I have to work in Sidney's classroom tomorrow .......and I'm not even sure she's going to go to school tomorrow! All three kids missed their Toddler Time class today......and Sidney missed her "Ra Ra class" as she likes to call it....(aka: her cheerleading class),..........she's been asking me for a month when it's going to start................I didn't have the heart to tell her that it was today. By next week they should all be ready to go!!!(Let's hope.........and dare I say it??......let's hope that Mommy doesn't get sick!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I actually did get some work done in the office last night and today, but I still have a lot to do.....taxes, bills, stuff to look up, try to put back together the files that Sidney tore apart........she wanted to color on ALL the papers! She even took every last sheet out of the printer while I was putting the kids clothes away. ............Then I ALMOST finished the laundry..........so close (with Czeslawa's help - she would fold a lot them for me)........It seems like that's always how it goes.................I can almost get something done, then it gets put on the back burner .........and by the time I can get back to it, it has grown exponentially again!
I would LIKE to work on the blog........and getting my Hawaii pictures scanned, but I NEED to get the house stuff taken care of................it's a never-ending battle.
Ok, I'd better get to bed................who knows who or when the first wake up call will come from.
