About sick kids, finished patios and other stuff

Ok, I've been home with my sick kids for TOO long now! First, Connor had an ear infection, so peniciline was prescribed, two weeks ago today. So, we start the peniciline right on Friday and on Wednesday, he breaks up in hives and fever. I thought it was chicken pox. So we go to the doctor (again), and he prescribes Benadril, just in case it is an allergic reaction, but almost swears it a "highly infectious virus", so he must not go to daycare. By now, I already missed 1 day of work, and with this, it's two more. Of course, that should be the least of my concerns. I know that the guys I work with are SUPER cool, but I wonder how flexible is flexible. Anyways... Connor just went back to daycare this week, when Amy calls me yesterday morn to tell me Nicole has a fever! So, I go get her, and nothing was bringing that darn fever down! She had a 102 all night; we brought it down around 2 am by placing wet rags and giving her more meds, and placing the fan on her, and getting her down to her underwear...

SO, now I need to call the doctor's office again, and see what is it, and what can we do. Now, Cesar is supposed to come for the weekend from his dad's place (he's on vacation there for 3 weeks), and Estella (his stepmom) sends a message letting me know that it seems like the virus he had (???) is gone, but they had Sarah (Cesar's sister) vomiting and feverish this week, and she herself had to miss work two days because of the virus!!

I was looking forward to look for a patio set this weekend. We went to Menards in Yorkville to look this week, and THEY DON'T have ANYTHING. Wow, talk about a bad economy???? I soooo wanted a nice swing, a table and chairs and a nice "fireplace", actually was looking for one of those tables with a grill in the middle... But, as my luck has it these days, NOTHING there (nothing that matched, anyways, and definitely no swings!). But with sick kids AGAIN this weekend, I guess I'll stay indoors giving them meds... and getting Cesar's virus, too!

boo-hoo, I'm such a whiney whine these days! Ok, I need to go call the doctor again... ta-ta for now!
PS.- Blogger is NOT letting me post pics... guess I'll have to add that later!

I'm sorry Paula! I would be in the dumps too. I am sure you probably already do this, but when Lu has a stubborn fever, we piggy back the meds. Motrin, then follow up with Tylenol a couple hours later.
For the patio set, have you tried Craigslist.org? Click on your city and shop away. Remember, I'm the bargin queen. :)

A few weeks ago, after work, I heard Brian scolding Cesar. (If you don't know it, Brian and I work from home, so my office is just a few steps from the kitchen, so i can hear pretty well) He was starting to sound VERY unhappy, especially because Cesar wouldn't own up to his mistake. OUCH! So, here I come into the kitchen and start listening in: BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Are you hording them? Did you hide them?" CESAR: "Brian, I didn't take them, really" BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Coco and Connor can't reach them. Mom wouldn't take them, and they did NOT grow legs". ME: "What are you guys talking about?" BRIAN: "It's just that we had the gumballs' container almost to the middle this morning, and now, there's barely one layer of them. The only one who could have done it is Cesar, and he won't even tell the truth!" ME: "Eh... mmmhhhh ... did we have t

Before I start my update... I just had to take a picture of Connor. He is such a BOY!!! I think boys are programmed to be goofy... If you have a boy, I'm sure you have found these kids of scenes, pretty much daily! Anyways, this Good Friday I participated in The Way of the Cross celebrated at 3 pm in front of the Planned Parenthood clinic we have in Aurora. I was so glad to see such a large group, it kept growing as the minutes went by. It was pretty cold, and as usual, I was not wearing a sweater or jacket, but it was well worth it. We prayed for the babies being killed, for their mothers and for the doctors and nurses that assist them. May God help them all. As I did this, Noni came to take the kids to decorate eggs. We did decorate some at home on Saturday, too, but Noni's were a lot more dramatic, especially the one with all those feathers! Coco and Connor found some presents from the Bunny on Sunday morning. After church, we went to Noni and Papa's to celebrate with ou

I made this little book that came with my CHS March kit . Now, since my dear friend Tracie in her blog made me very aware of not posting other people's kids on my blog, I can't show all the pages inside, but I made this book to house all those little pictures of kids that exchange school pictures with my kids... I really LOVED it and made it in a night, while Brian watched tv by my side (that was SOOO COOL!) The paper is Scribble Scrabble (the one i bought like a month ago at that store that I found!), cardstock is bazzill, the stamp is by Stampin' Up!, letter stickers by doodlebug, flowers are Prima (are there any others???) Feel the itch to scrap!
