My Shopping Day :)

Miss me??  Well, I have missed all of you.  Sick kids- uggggggg.  Thats about all I can say- that is how I have been feeling lately.  It all started with Ping, our cat getting sick.  Thankfully, he got better.  Then, little Michael had a nasty temperature and just didn't feel good.  He is an awesome cuddler anyway, but when he is sick, that is all he wants to do.  Now, I'm not complaining about all the cuddle time.  But when you can't even go to the bathroom without a kid screaming because you aren't holding him- yea that is a pretty cranky little one. 

I am so blessed my boys are as well behaved as they are.  Don't get me wrong, they do have their times but overall they are really good boys.  I was less than pleased that little Micheal so kindly and lovingly gave Nathan his icky sickness.  Poor Nathan, has had a temperature and has been out of school for the whole week.  I had to end up taking him to the doctor this morning due to his waking up sweating, he had a nasty cough and he was complaining of his throat hurting.

First thought- oh no strep!!  The doctor ran a strep test and negative- YEA!!!  She believes he just has a nasty virus that needs to run its course.  Sick kids, late nights and hubby out of town working for the week equals less blogging :(
