10 out of 12 weeks

My girlfriend just sent me an email asking how the things on the home-front were.  Particularly she was asking about Ryan’s sleep… and thus my sleep. 

I think you can assume by my month long blog silence that things have been a bit busy, and I don’t just mean the holidays.

Here was my response:

“There has been a little more sleep and a LOT more germs.

Apparently, ‘Tis the season to be sickly.
Fa la la la la laa laaa la laaaaaaaaa

Justin is on his third straight round of antibiotics because nothing will work on his ear infection, turned sinus infection, and now turned back into ear infection.

Ryan just got over a ear infection.  And at the same time, two teeth popped out.  But now has some nasty rash that is bright red and involves blisters.

Andrew seems to have escaped most everything other than this disgusting runny nose that won’t quit. 

And that headache that I have been having for a month straight?  Well, that was a sinus infection. 

Seriously I am going into Quicken and I am going to do a search on “copay”

(pause)

I have been to the Doctor’s office 10 times.  Count them 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.    TEN.  T.E.N times in the last 3 months.  

FIFTEEN times if you go back 5 months. 

So pretty much EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK.  since late October, we have been at the pediatricians. 

Dude… my kids are now pretending to be Dr. Contini.

No I am not joking.”

There you  have it.   That is what has been going on over here.   I spend more time with my kids pediatrician these days than I do my husband.  Frankly, I am embarrassed now to even be seen in his office.  I am sure he thinks I have a crush on him…. I mean, seriously, who has to go to the dr’s office that many times?   Uh, apparently, we do.
