You would never know

Sara has this illness until you see her spots. She is really hanging in there like a champ.

We did find something everyone would eat last night. They LOVE egg drop soup! I am happy to see them eat as danyal is way to skinny.

Now off I write that last paper for this class.

I spoke to soon

Well it appears Dino's is close to his normal noisy self. I thought Sara wouldn't get it and I was wrong. Now she is covered in polka dots. To top it off I am getting worse as we speak. I might end up going in myself to see if I have strep.

I do have to say Sara tends to take illness and all of the hard things a bit better. That poor girl had a rough start and has always taken it in stride.  Between the extreme exorcist vomiting (fyi; baby vomit + soy formula = wrecked room and board chair), helmet, starting off in the SCU (special care unit), and getting every illness she really doesn't put up to much of a fuss.  When she has 104 and higher temps she has a harder time and then just wants me to sleep on the floor with her.  So here is to hoping this is the worst it gets for her.

I am so glad to be done with my current class. I have never been so frustrated. It is a brand new class, with a new professor who lack technology skills and the ability to communicate in a timely fashion.  This came back to bite her today.  We have been rehashing a paper topic for weeks. Hence, I finished my paper a week early and sent it to her saying if you have issues tell me and I will write the research paper on a different topic.  Now, insert crickets chirping {here}.  I never heard back from her, I figures it was fine. In class today while doing group work she reading my paper.  Turns out she responded to everyone but me and apologized to me.  That she does disagree with my chosen Change Theory Method but it was her fault in not responding.  All I can say is, I am done and I still have my A.  On to my next few classes. Four to go and I am done.

Finding my zones

Once everyone gets on the mend (soon I hope) I think I am finally going to have a VO2 test done at the U of MN. I know about what my heart rate zones are but I would like to see if they can be more clearly defined. My hope is to do this before my 10k on September 1st.

Today was one of those days. I haven't slept in a week, buddies didn't sleep last night, and I didn't realize a bunch of contractors were stopping by to fix the last of the kitchen from the fire in April. No one napped either. So it has been a long day. Not being to leave the house makes it even longer. I mean is a 5 hour window necessary? Can't we get down to 2??

Getting closer

Well at least the poor guy doesn't have a fever and finally ate something..barely but still. It's food.  Last night was a long night again with buddies up every 45 minutes.  This reminded me of what it was like the first 6 weeks with the kids, they were up every 30 minutes!

I have to say I love summer, however for once I am ready for the fall. I am ready to run outside in cool weather, put on warm sweaters and Halloween.  I mean really? Forget Christmas, it's all about Halloween for me.  I haven't started to think about the kids costumes but I should.

I meant to run today but after last night I opted to black out for 2 hours and take a nap, and buddies even napped for once and didn't wake up crying.  To top it off he is speaking in his normal very wordy sentences so I feel better.  Hopefully tomorrow I will find a little time to get in five miles and call the week done.  Even I feel awful.  Everyone in our house has a portion of what Danyal has. I have the fever, chills, headache, my husband has the rash, and Sara had the fever and that was it.

Here is to hoping for a better weekend and finishing this darn paper someday! Now off to try and sleep for an hour before he gets up. The routing has been he starts to get up at 9:45pm. Playing the piano has been the only thing that makes them happy. :)

Such misery

I mean wow! The poor kid looks like he is covered in polka dots from head to toe. His throat hurts so bad he isn't talking or singing. Very un-danyal! He didn't eat a thing until 7:30pm he finally ate some ice cream. I think he is down at least a pound if not two and his skinny body needs all the weight it can get.

The kids were supposed to start a daycare/school one day a week to hang out with other kids more. I am already seeing my bad planning. At this rate danyal can't go and I won't drop off just Sara. They have never been separated and Sara would Lose. Her. Head! She is attached to Dino's. To top it off I was going to write my 3 papers on Friday and start using Fridays as my homework/long run days. Um yea, I guess not. One paper is due Saturday and two are due on Monday. I guess I will get them all done tomorrow and stop procrastinating.

Here is to hoping for more sleep. Cause it's gonna be a long long weekend.

Everyone is sick

We made our trek into the doctor and were given a name. It wasn't strep. It wasn't eat infections. It is a version of hand foot and mouth. Gross!! Poor danyal has such a bad rash and his throat is just raw. Sara is just starting to get it. This is gonna be a long week. To top it off I am even sick.

I think the cutest thing of the day was Sara wanted Dino's to sit next to get. "come on Dino's, come on Dino's, sit down". They are each others best friends.

So far, not as bad of a night. Dino's only woke up every hour needing comfort and cuddles to get back to sleep. He did just ask if he could watch Dinosaur Train. I had to inform him that the dinosaurs are sleeping. Upon hearing this he requested to go back to bed. Whew! This means he is sleeping and not yelling for 6-7 hours straight tonight. Here is to hoping for happier kids today.

It's Almost 4am

Have you slept yet? Nope, me either.
