Will It Ever End?


I feel like I owe the world an apology by declaring in an earlier post that winter was basically over.  What a long two weeks of winter we've had!!!  I hope the worst is over.  Speaking of bad weather the last couple of weeks we have been under the weather and I am SO SICK OF IT!!!
A recap:
It started with Clara waking up barfing one morning.  Then she got a double ear infection and conjunctivitis.  She got on an antibiotic which gave her serious bowel distress resulting in a terrible diaper rash.  I was lucky enough to have a stomach bug on one of those bad diaper days.  Then when we both seemed to be on the mend Anders got the stomach bug.  Then the ear/eye infection.  This time we let Rob use his doctor skills and skipped the co-pay.  Then Clara got the stomach bug again and barfed for a couple of days.  Now she is back to wretched diapers and a HORRIBLE rash of some sort which I am throwing all kinds of ointments at.  None seem to be working.  Maybe I will break down and shell out another $20 to diagnose it. She also has another eye infection which is getting Ander's leftover eyedrops.  Please let it end.  Pleeeeease.  I haven't been to the gym in two weeks, which is probably where all this fun started anyway.  But that bothers me because I was on a pretty good nine month roll.  I hope I can slip back in the habit.  I feel a bit like Anne Elliot's horrid simpering sister in Persuasion, who is so irritated because her son has a broken arm which may prevent her from attending a party.  But, really, all this illness is cramping my style.  Enough already.

So awful. That rash is bad. Hope everything clears up this week--let's party it up in Southern Utah, no?

Ugh... nothing worse then sick kids! hope you're all back to normal soon.

to answer your question... yes we are moving to Lindon in 11 days! (yes I am counting down!) we'll be there a few months till we figure out exactly which little Utah town we want to settle down in. Sure we'll be seeing you more often then every 5-10 years!

I can almost remember what it was like. There's a reason you have kids when you're young. Dealing with all the sickness would kill us now!

I am in the SAME boat. I have not been in about 2 weeks and it is making me MAD. Today I was all geared up and then Claire had a tired meltdown and I had to put her down for a nap. Now I have to wait until Dan gets home from work to go. It won't be until late!!!!!!

sorry to hear you've had a rough time the past couple of weeks. It's the worst! Sounds like you are on the tail end of it so I hope things improve soon.
