Lately....

Here's the basket of medicine that has been sitting on our counter for the past weekThere are prescriptions, cough medicines, Advil, herbal oils, vitamins and inhalers. All things that we have needed on a regular basis at our house lately, and I am so OVER it! It started last Saturday when I developed a sore throat and it has been downhill from there. We have had sore throats, stomach aches, headaches, croup, and high fevers, one after another. Just when I think things are looking up, another fever hits. Alexis has had a fever since Wednesday, Levi's finally broke today, and right before bed tonight Tori starting running one. Alexis and Levi have both had chest x-rays. Thankfully it is not pneumonia. The doctor tells us it's a bad case of the flu, which doesn't looking to be letting up any time soon.

Today, Brandon was feeling much better, and so he was so sweet to let me rest all day while he took care of the kids. I am feeling a lot better now, and hopefully I'm on the up end of it.

We are feeling so stir crazy and cooped up! The kids have a four day weekend thankfully, so we've just been able to lounge around and relax. But after a while that gets old! I told the kids that we are going on a walk around the lake so we can get some fresh air. We just have to get out of this house!

Next year we will be getting flu shots!
