Sick House

I remember this one time when my family was healthy. Maybe two weeks ago. Since that time, we seemed to  have passed around a lingering virus that causes stuffy, perpetually running noses, coughing, and all around ick. The doctor diagnosed Ezra with walking pneumonia on Tuesday (it’s not as bad as the name suggests). I thought he was doing much better with an antibiotic, then he threw up yesterday. Multiple times.

Kai is a walking snotty nose. I look like I have mascara smeared under my eyes from a late night of partying. Our house looks like a tornado hit. I have stacks of clean laundry (the main task I’ve managed lately). Oh, and my husband has been in the midst of life-changing finals this entire time.

…But

My mom comes tomorrow to visit for 2 weeks! We are going to see the Hobbit in 3D tonight on a real date. Tomorro morning we will have a “clean up party” and the kids will be motiviated because it’s for Grandma. Christmas is coming!

Right now, though, baby is dipping a paper cup he found on the counter in the toilet and dumping the water on the floor. Also, I might throw up. Wish me luck and Happy Friday!
