More sickies

Here is today's list of ailments:
*Sleep deprivation-Mike and I achieved less than 3 hours of actual sleep last night
*Liam has a double ear infection.
*Michael has a single ear infection (but his infection is worse).

And so we have 2 antibiotics (different ones),2 cool mist contraptions running and 2 children sleeping for the moment. Mike is working...I should be in bed but I just need to unwind after this crazy day.

Mike was home with the kids for most of it. Today was an evaluation day at my job- and I organize those days so it's sort of important for me to be there- but I was able to leave 2 hours early. I am PRAYING for sleep tonight and if it doesn't happen, I am taking some sort of half day tomorrow b/c I am already feeling stuffy and do not need to get sick.

Can I tell you that my kids are real troopers when it comes to illness? These ear infections must have been brewing since the weekend at least. I thought Liam just had a bad cold with alot of phlegm. Last night was the first time Michael complained about his ear.

I ALMOST went to the doc on Saturday morning but didn't because I thought I was being a paranoid-type mom. You think I would have learned by now to always trust a mommy's gut instinct.

Because I am tired and don't have much else to say- I am going to call this a post and wish you all a very restful sleep.

In the next few posts, I should catch up on several topics:
-my mom
-michael's new bed (he's sleeping in his doorway as I type this)
-the fact that there have been multiple occurences of arson in my general area in recent months and it's getting very freaky and scary
