Oy, what a week! And it's only Monday ;)
Well, tomorrow, after the day-school student concert (which I have to videotape), the kids leave with my parents for a week in Connecticut, and David and I are off to Quebec City! Hooray!!!
However, I'm handing over Sam, who has some sort of winter virus (he gets red spots on his cheeks and very dry skin around his lips); Micah, whose eyes "felt like they had lots of sand and dust in them" today; and Sofia, who has...
1. a stuffy nose
2. diarrhea (from the stuffy nose)
3. a yeast infection (from the diarrhea)
4. horrible diaper rash (from the yeast infection)
5. croup (because we were silly and visited our friends for Friday night dinner even though both their little ones had croup); and
6. a double-ear infection.
Well, at least she's on antibiotics now. The doctor and I had to practically sit on her to keep her still while doc pulled large clumps of wax out of both ears. And this morning, before we went to the pediatrician, we had her first visit from the public pre-school's director. Miss Sofia croupy-coughed throughout the session, but otherwise did very well (right up until she fell off a chair and split open her lip!).
(Oh yeah, 7. a split lip).
But now that we've seen the doc and gotten meds, I feel slightly better about handing her over to my mom for the week. Slightly.
I went craft-fair hopping on Sunday afternoon (all by myself) for a few hours, and got a few gifts for people.
Mazal Tov to my cousin J and her hubby J on the birth of baby Lily Iris this morning.
Mazal Tov to David's cousin H and her hubby P on the birth of baby Ian Robert 2 weeks ago.
(Now we're all waiting for David's sister, who is due next Saturday).
Mazal Tov to my friend S's mom for her recent marriage. (Not so sure S thinks it's worthy of a Mazal Tov, though!)
Deepest condolences to my online friend A on the loss of her best friend.
I have to go finish packing - I think I've gotten the kids' stuff done, now it's just my stuff. David is responsible for his own gear!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone; drive carefully, drink responsibly, eat thoughtfully. And try not to stress too much!
