Sickness in the house

Taking a nebulizer treatment in style

Jada is having trouble breathing and had a pretty hi fever last night. She is running around and playing like there is not problem today though. She was actually doing pretty good all day yesterday as far as energy and running around goes. In the evening she just crashed though. We had a get together at our house to hang out with some friends from out of town. She just laid on the couch the whole time.

I though she was pretty cute with her nebulizer and sun glasses. I guess if you have to take medicine you might as well do it in style.

Mr. Mom After movie time in the "fort"

Well, had fun with the kids tonight.  We watched a movie on the laptop in the "fort" we made in the kids room.  They REALLY enjoyed it.  They are all sleeping in the one room on the one bed and on the floor.  I need to get up there and get some sleep too.  They did not get to bed until late, but hey such is life.

After the movie was over we had some fun playing with photobooth. It of course was too dark in the fort, but we had fun nonetheless. I will add some of the pics.
The plan for the AM is to have breakfast with John Michael and company...so that should be fun.

Mr. Mom towards the end of March

So...for like two weeks or so the kids were sick.  One would get better, then the other would get a fever etc.  That time actually went pretty well.  We are blessed to have kids who do not whine when they are sick.  Sometimes they just whine in general, but it does not really seem to increase when they are sick.  Bonus!

This week has been the first "normal" week in a long time.  Whatever normal means.  I have been incredibly discouraged this week which makes for a rough time with the kids.  They certainly did their part to make things difficult, but I think it gets magnified exponentially when you are discouraged.  I wonder if this happens to "regular" moms, or if it is just Mr. Moms.  Probably happens to them too.

This weekend some of the students are having a mom's night out.  It is all women, otherwise I may have signed up. :)  Jenny is there right now.  It sounds like a good time.  They left at 2PM and went shopping at the outlet malls, then they are staying at someone's timeshare tonight and she will come back tomorrow afternoon.  You can stay one or 2 nights...she is just staying tonight.

Today I tried to call the kids mom's, aunts and other bio family so they could talk with them.  I think this was a big mistake as they were intent on being very loud while others are on the phone.  I guess they probably enjoyed their own time....and probably enjoyed screaming while the others were on the phone I guess. :(

Tonight my big strategy is to put mattresses down on the floor in the boys room, make a "tent" with them and watch a movie with them on the laptop in the "tent".  Then it is off to bed with them.

I kind of wish the weather was nice and we could have gone trapesing around campus together enjoying parks, but alas it is cold and wet.

Well, this is kind of long, you probably have not made it this far.  Hope you are having a good one.
