Sickly Sicklings

Is it just me or are my kids ALWAYS sick? I'm one TIRED mama these days. Poor Gunner has been through the ringer since he was born with every kind of sickness imaginable. (Stomach virus, 4 snotty/stopped up noses, pink eye in BOTH eyes, double ear infection, the croup and now a sinus infection) I'm exhausted from it so I can't imagine how he feels about it. Every time we're finally in the clear, something else sneeks back up on us. This week though, it's a sinus infection. Tuff had been battling a runny nose for 10 days (as of yesterday). I was faithfully giving him benadryl twice a day for all 10 of those days. Gunner steered clear of it... until Saturday night. Saturday, Sunday & Monday night he didn't sleep a wink and neither did mama. I was like a walking zombie when I started to get up and around yesterday morning. But then when Tuff woke up snotty and bloody, I knew he needed to see trusty ole Dr. C. So, why not knock em both out at the same time? $100 later ($40 a piece co-pay & $20 prescriptions), we were diagnosed with 2 sinus infections and given two 10-day antibiotics. So.... here's to being on the up & up. And here's to getting there at the SAME time. So hopefully both can get well at the same time and stay well for a while....

All of the above = my reasoning for being a blog slacker.

We didn't do a whole lot this weekend. So I don't have much to tell about our weekend. We did go watch Sydney and Courtland (niece & nephew) play their last ball games before High School. Can't believe how fast they've grown... All I can think about is that being our boys one day. I will be SO sad. But I'm sure SO proud at the same time. Both Syd & Court played in the championship games and both lost. But both got an All Tournament award. I didn't get any pictures of Syd. I got one of Courtland because I took it for his mom.

Gunner got to meet his new baby cousin at the tournament. I couldn't believe how big he looked compared to her!!! Where did our itty bitty baby go?

Happy Wednesday Friends! :)

    I hate to hear how sick Tuff and Gunner have been! Bless their hearts...sinus infections are no fun! Hope they feel better soon and hope it lasts!
