Has it seriously been 6 days since my last post? Cuz it feels a LOT longer!
These last few weeks have just been crazy! Lillie has been suffering from chronic ear infections for the last 6 months, and finally 2 weeks ago we got her tubes in! Yeah! After 24 hours of her not feeling well following the surgery, Damon got sick out of no where and spent 6 hours throwing up literally every 5 minutes! I have never seen anything like it in my life! It took 24 hours to pass and then we had one good day before Cherish came down with it. The poor girl took it harder. It took 2 days of puking and something else I won't mention ;) before she started to perk up. Then guess what? Yep, poor tiny Lillie got it worse! 2 days of cranky fevers and chills and day 3 the puking began. In the car on our way to Provo. I had to pull over a few times because these d@#& car seats don't let them lean forward enough so she is gagging and choking on i and can't breathe. I finally just got her out and had my mom hold her the rest of the way home. Then I got it. Somehow I managed to never ralph, but I did spend 2 days feeling like my bed and pillow were stabbing me to death! Of course James, mister immune to everything was fine. Until Monday! mwahahaha ( Iknow, how mean am I?!) :D
So as you can see, insanity for the last 2 weeks. But I have to say I survived! And I won't lie, this was the first time in my 5 years as a mom that I have been so tried and tested with patience and handling the fatigue. But I made it. So bring on the next conquest!
Funny Side Story: So in the midst of Cherry coming down with the flu. I completely forgot about a brand new voice student I had coming over. Until I heard the door knock. So I opened the door and apologized like crazy and wouldn't even let them in due to my germ phobia. In the background behind me picture this : the sound of Cherry in the bathroom puking and crying, Lillie on the living room floor screaming and Damon bouncing off the walls. ( I look sane huh?!) They leave and I get everyone settled down. I walk past a mirror and do a double take. Ya, um I had grabbed one of Cherry's hot pink fluffy bowed headbands to hold my hair back while I helped her puke in the toilet. REALLY? really.
Couldn't help but laugh and think "yep, it's a mom day!"

Thats awesome! I threw one of the girls BIG flower bows into my hair once and right afterwards Ryker got bit in the face by a dog and we had to run him to the ER> My mom met me there and NOBODY mentioned the HUGE flower right on top my head! When I got home and realized I called my mom and asked her why she didn't tell me and she said, "well I thought it looked stupid , but I thought maybe you were trying something new!" Thanks mom!
Don't you just love the more kids you have the longer it takes to get over an illness and the more illnesses they seem to bring home! We just got over a week of everyone being sick too. it does test your patiences and yes the fatigue! Good thing for strong moms! I hope you guys stay healthy for awhile! Lana
This sounds awful!!! But I laughed out loud picturing you with a hot pink headband. And I can't believe Kelsey is in Japan - CRAZY.
