Ohhh my head.

It has been a week. Thats about as nice as I can put it.

First the kids all get the crud... and the rashy that followed. I get the fever, and then feel better... but am considered contageous and am "banned" from clinical. (which means more paperwork for me)... THEN they start all over again!

1 kid with a fever, another throwing up, 2 with weird rashes and another without her voice. Me, Im curled up on the couch with a pounding headache and a stuffed up head.

We are a pathetic lot.

Confessions of a FaceBook addict

I am still trying to figure out who to blame for my newest addiction. Like coffee wasn't bad enough! FaceBook has definately gotten its grip on me.

Its kinda nice to be able to keep in touch- see whats going on, and reconnect with people from eons ago- I like the pictures and the dorky little comments. Like MySpace... but for grown ups!! This blog is nice and mainly theraputic for my insanity, but on FB I get more feedback. It gets lonesome talking to yourself all the time!!

AND it helps to keep me awake in some of the more tedious lectures :)

Battle wounds

I have been fighting the Crud that has been making its rounds... but lost miserably. Spring break (for me) is next week- and usually the little virus/bacteria/ crappy bug thing nails me then. Not so lucky this time.

The kids have all had something...fever, nausea, sleeping for obnoxious amounts of time...and I finally figured out what it was. FAN-freaking-TASTIC. This is what my week off will consist of.

Yea- anything that is refered to as "Slap Face Rash" is wonderful.

Spring Forward?

Time changes throw off the mojo. Here it is, MARCH already!! and this time change is just another reminder of how much I really am oblivious too. Way too fast- its a big blur.

I am going to have to do something about that photo up top... it makes me sad- wishing for the summer warmth... so either it comes down- or I get a trip to the beach. Even cold and rainy, a beach trip is always a good one.

Its about time to take another no-kids weekend. I would almost be happy with a few days under a rock somethere, but a trip with the hub would be dreamy. A break from reality- from homework and sick and clingy kiddos. Laundry and "whats for dinner?!"

But until I can pull one from the magic hat; I will continue my trudge, on with the tread.

Another long weekend of too much homework, no confidence in what I have learned, "what ifs" and "why did I's" can drag an exhausted woman down. And down is not a fun (or productive) place to be.

Yet here I am again.

Oh Saturday

Saturday is turning into another Thursday, or Friday around here. A house full of sick shorties and WAY too much homework for a sane woman to deal with.

Probably a good thing that nobody considers me sane :)

March??! FIFTH!!!

How can it be the fifth of March already?! I really dont get it. Just last week it was Christmas, and now March?!

Keep thinking I missed something when I blinked.

Spent the last few days in a haze of homework, house cleaning, clinical (more homework), baking and frantically trying to figure out where to stach all my stock piles... because company was a coming.

Honestly, we don't get manu guests... (I think the kids scare them off)but Hubby had a friend and his family stay with us while they were visiting. I was running around crazy trying to get the house ready, threaten the kids about their behavior, do my homework, go to school, be less than an incompetent hostess.

My poor crock pot"s". Yes, I have to have multiple ones... and thats just for my family. Add in 5 or so more... thats a lotta crock-pottin'.

They were great, my kids behaved, but I'm exhausted. Even my exhaustion is exhausted. Too tired to sleep is just WRONG from every direction.

Sooooo, now I am couch bound. With a fever:baby on my lap... trying to catch up with out moving more than necessary. I did get up and do laundry and dishes when she was put on the couch- but that didn't last too long. You CAN walk into the house to the kitchen... and the trail winds back to the bathroom... so we should be covered until the kids get home from school.

And these are the days of my life. Busy beyone all recognition, counting down until (my) Spring break... where I can sleep in until 6am... and the Laundry fairies come to help with the house work. Where DOES the time go?
