Back to work

I haven't blogged in about 10 days because I was out of work at home with Lexi Lou again. She had (wait for it.....) an ear infection! I know, shocking! Let's see - here is the progression for you following along:
- Friday (sometime in April can't look up the date but it was after April 20th) off to the doctor for ear infection re-check (no infection!) and Brooke's 3 year checkup (read - everyone is, in theory, healthy at this point)
- Saturday all appears to be well
- Sunday, some ear tugging that Mommy chooses to ignore and chalk up to tiredness.
- Monday up all night crying, Mommy in bed with Lex, in big bed with Lex, giving medicine, blah blah - fever of 103
- Tuesday - off to doctor - double ear (get the shot which the nurse missed on the first try and ends up making 3 holes in poor little Lex)
- Wed - back to Dr. fever gone - no second shot (but we'll take that copay, thanks!)
- Thur - fine and dandy, until 4pm when all of a suddent vomiting randomly ensues with another 103 fever. Call the dr. "don't worry but if she is still sick tomorrow call. OK?"
- Fri - seems better, fever gone - take kids to Y because I haven't been all week (ok, maybe not the smartest move of all time)
- Sat - Lex is coughing up a storm, runny nose, whole deal. Gonna wait it out - see how it goes.
- Sun - better but still some snot - no ear pulling though!
- Mon - cold appears to be gone - really - I think, dare I say it, she's healthy.
Now here we are on Tuesday and I'm back at work. Maybe I'll make it through the whole week. Both kids are "transitioning" this week from their old classrooms to the next level (saves us about $250 a month). I suspect we may have some tired campers this afternoon. I am debating if I pick them up early or go to the Y because you never know when you will have another chance to exercise this week. BUT the kids could be really wiped and want their Mommy BUT Mommy's butt needs to swim BUT well you get the idea it's a dilemma.
