I have been honestly feeling awful lately. My allergies have been so out of control this season. It is so bad that I have gotten an eye infection in both eyes, a sinus infection on top of having complications with my tailbone and hip alignment. This has all made me exhausted. I feel like I am running at half speed all the time.

 

In other news, Evelyn is teething already. She is doing pretty well with is all, but is not sleeping as sound through the night. I cannot complain though, she is still sleeping a good 6+ hours a time, so I am still spoiled.

 

Tomorrow is Rex's birthday! Woo hoo! I am making him a 3 layer German chocolate cake. It is a surprise, and the first time I have made it in about 20 years. ( Oh my goodness that makes me sound old!) Past the cake, I am not sure what else we are doing. The boys think that we should go to Skateland, and I think we should stay home ( selfishly ---but that is how tired I am right now) We will see how the day goes.

 

Really?

I have been so stinkin sick this past week. Most of the time it has been coughing, congestion, ear pain ect.. and then today hit... and mixture of the above noted symptoms added to nausea, throwing up, and horrid stomach pains. What a fun Saturday we had. Thankfully the boys have already passed over the pukyness.
 I had to miss Trenton's basketball game today. It was the first game of the season, but thankfully Grammy and Papa stepped in and cheered him on. His team won 24-4! Awesomeness.

That is all-- Carry on you healthy beings.

Ughh

The flu has found the Bateman house, and the mama has gotten it the worst. I have been totally down and out, miserable, can't hardly move sick, since Wednesday. Almost a whole week of immobile mommy. It is horrid. Rex was sick for one day.. of course, Trenton had it for 2 days, Joe for 4 days and Benji is still going strong with the illness along with me. Ugh. I have not been this sick in so long, it is frustrating. I tried to do laundry today and got so winded and out of breath I got dizzy. Rex has been wonderful and picking up the slack for me. Of course this week is super busy.. Youth Auction, Math Test, TONS of homework, Parent Teach Conferences, Meetings at church (hooray for our patriarchal blessing soon!) and midterms. I guess it is never a good time to be sick. I just want to bounce out of this.

Yummy Stuff!

These things are AWESOME. They are my new best friend. They taste like chips and you get over 25 chips for a small amount of calories... A+ all around.

That is about it for today. School starts for me next week, have to buy books soon. And I have a cold. Thanks for sharing Liz :)

Until whenever....

Okay. so Benji had a fever last weekend and was really tired but no other symptoms to go with it. Me? I have fever, chills, body aches (BAD!) and now a sore throat. I have been taking EmerganC, drinking lots of water, cleaning and disinfecting as I go, bought new tooth brushes after everyone was sick and  I still end up with this junk. All when I have my last history paper due, a health final on Monday, Young Women's stuff to organize and get going, Christmas stuff to finish up, 12 days of Christmas to plan and prepare... I know the flu is never convenient but this time around.. I really could have used a different day to get this!
