Thank God It's Friday!

This was the week from hell. Leo, both boys and I got sick on Sunday. Thankfully, on Sunday I felt well enough to make us all a pot of my wonderful chicken soup with rice. Monday and Tuesday I called out sick from work. I felt horrible. The boys felt horrible. Monday Leo was starting to feel better. Thankfully Nicki (SIL) and Phoebe were feeling fine.



We avoided taking the boys to the doctor until Tuesday. I decided when Monday night Tommy slept barely at all and every time we laid him on his back he thrashed and woke up. Turns out he couldn't breathe. The cold settled in his chest. So I decided to take them both in and this is what the doctor let us know and put them both on nebulizer treatments 4 times a day.



Wednesday and Thursday I worked from home to help with treatments for both boys (if they were in day care I'd have to do them both myself). I thank my lucky stars for Nicki! We went back to the doctor on Thursday and she said they are a little better, but she can hear that their lungs are getting better and to keep going with the treatments on Tommy, but Liam doesn't need them more than morning and bedtime, and she wants to see them next week.



Today (Friday) was my first day back at work and it was horrible. I should have put a deli number system for the people at my cube, the phone ringing and the IM messages I was getting all day - and I feel like nothing productive was accomplished. A few doors closed to possibilities and some things just went no where. I should have read my horoscope for today. I'm sure it was bad.



I now want to go home, snuggle my babies, order take-out comfort food, watch mindless TV shows I've recorded and haven't watched all week and enjoy that I just found out we have Monday off work and I had no idea!



Have a great weekend everyone!

BTW, I just almost thought Blogger ate this post with the error I got, but I was able to retrieve it in tact. That would've been the icing on the cake if it was lost....

I'm sorry this week has been so rough. I hope you have a great weekend to make up for it! :)
I hope you all feel better soon, poor babies.
I'm sorry you had such a rough week! I had a day yesterday that felt like 3 days in one; it was that hectic. Thank God it's weekend!!!

I'm sorry for your hard week. It reminds me situation in our family one week ago. We had been sick, a lot of cough, runny nose and so on. However, none of us went to a doctor. We drank a lot of tea with honey and lemon and also syrup cough. And fortunately that helped. Hope your next week will be fine.

Take care,
Ella

I know that your life is hectic. I had a friend who had twins about the same time we had our first son. I don't know how they survived. Still, I'm starting to worry about you. Hope you find time to post, even a short one, soon.

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.
