It's late again...Weekly Wednesday. Maybe I should call it A Day Late Thursday!

Sorry for the lateness once again. It just seems like Wednesdays slip away and before I know it, they are gone.
Poor guy feels crummy today, actually he has felt crummy for a few days. I took him to the doctor yesterday (part of why I did not get around to the post) and as it turns out, he has an ear infection again and bronchiolitis. They put him on a nebulizer treatment. Oh boy, that is like trying to wrestle down an angry octopus, you have never seen a kid with so many hands until you try to give them a breathing treatment. He is also on a new antibiotic and oral steroids. Yay me! Those tend to turn my children into fit throwing little (or not so little) monsters. You would think I might have had some sort of reprieve from nasty children since Sour Apple was on a steroid last week for poison oak that covered the lower half of his body. He was nasty and I use that word because I cannot think of a better (or worse) word to use for how he acted while on it.

Anyway, back to Tutti-Frutti. Just after one dose of the steroid, his personality started changing. He has been hollering at me (yes, hollering) throwing fits and demanding lots of attention. It makes it so hard for him to fall and stay asleep. It had the same effect on Boog too. Anytime the doctor writes that out, I always joke (or maybe not) about him taking the kid home with him until the course of medication is over. Well, needless to say I always get to come home with the little monsters.

Don't get me wrong, I feel bad for them because I know it has to make them jittery and feel horrible, but I feel bad for me too! You know, like today for example. Tutti-Frutti was awake off and on all last night, got up early this morning and at nearly noon today has still not had a nap, and boy let me tell you...he is not a very fun child to be around right now. He does not want anything, he wants everything, he does not want to be held but you had better hold him. He does not want to eat, but you should try, he does not want his pappi, but it better be in his mouth, he does not want to be messed with, but you had better be trying to entertain him. Sheesh...I am worn out already and the day is nowhere near even half over! Oh I love kids though! Bring 'em on, I can handle the long haul.

On another fun note though...

Last night we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for a birthday dinner for Daddy, YUMMY! Wonderful lasagna and lemon bars! Thanks you guys, it was great!
