Bad Week!

I have not posted anything new in a week--yikes! This has been quite the week. It all started conference weekend when Blake was up crying until the wee hours of Sunday morning. I just attributed the fussiness to teething until Sunday afternoon I noticed that Blakes ear was filled with puss and liquid. I knew immediately that his ear drum had burst! This has happened once before, so we immediately called the doctor and took him to the emergency room. Yes, two visits to the E.R. in one month, not fun. After a three hour wait, we discovered that his ear drum had most definitely burst and were given a prescription for antibiotics to help him get better (yay!). This is Blake's third ear infection this winter and the pediatrician told me this week that if he gets one more, we will need to consider tubes. We are just praying that it doesn't happen again! I had been struggling all weekend with a sore throat and Monday morning I woke up with serious pressure in my sinuses. I knew it was a sinus infection and made myself an appointment to see the doctor and get some meds. Everyone in the house has a runny nose and cough, which ultimately means no one is getting any sleep--especially me! So, on top of Blake's ear infection, my sinus infection, Taylor and Luke's runny noses, mutual on Tuesday night, writing an Easter talk and preparing the combined YW Easter lesson, and babysitting my cousins daughter all day Friday, I have had absolutely no time to do my blog (boo!) or keep my house clean or do laundry (double boo!). Finally, tonight, after the kids went to bed, I was able to finalize my talk and finish my lesson, and, best of all, I am not blowing my nose every 2-5 minutes (yay!). Devon and I are both hoping for a relaxing weekend with lots of rest. Is that even possible with small kids? Well, the least I can hope for is a nap!
