Cuddles with Sick Kids

Sick Kiddos :(

Boy,

Has this week been a tough week. Michael woke up Monday not feeling well at all. He was all stuffy and congested and just wanted to be held by mommy. He had the sick smell coming off of him, so I gave him a bath. Thinking that maybe it would help. He usually likes his baths. Boy, he did not like it at all. He cried the whole time. :(

Then Tuesday, I woke up not feeling well. I woke up with a stuffy nose and a really sore throat. :( And been fighting a pounder of a headache. I have so much pressure in my head that all I want to do is sleep or cry. And sleeping I can't do because I don't like to sleep while the kids are up. I will only sleep/nap when I know that they are asleep. Just makes me feel better. 

And finally... Wednesday, Lyric woke up with whatever we all are sharing. Except she got the worse of all of us. She had the chills. Was violently shaking. Drank a cup of juice and that was it for the day. She didn't eat much either. :( She then goes to get sick. And I mean sick. She projectile vomited and had a fever of 103.7. :( It broke my heart because there wasn't much that I could do for her. So, I get on the phone with a nurse from the doctor's office. She gave me some tips and tricks to try with her. None of which Lyric will let me try. I do manage to get some Tylenol and later some Motrin into her and she takes a light nap. Waking up to the softest of sounds. But wakes up with almost a normal temperature. :) 

Hopefully by this weekend we can all be feeling well. I don't like it when my kiddos are sick. Because when the kids aren't happy, we aren't happy. 

Wednesday Hodgepodge 2.5.14

1. Are we always responsible for our actions? Are there any exceptions?

I think that the healthy adults are always responsible for their actions. 

I think when we are talking about the mentally handicapped or individuals with serious mental illnesses have the exception.  

2. Has anyone from your home town become famous?

We have a few Olympians. Kristin Armstrong, who won the gold medal in cycling. Jeret Peterson, who won the sliver medal in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Freestyle Skiing. There are a few others. But I chose these two because of the Olympics. :)

3. January was National Slow Cooker month. Do you own a slow cooker/crock pot? Did you use it last month? What's a favorite dish you make using a slow cooker or crock pot?

I do own a crock pot. And boy, do I love it. I use it at least once a week if not more. :) I think that my favorite dish that I make using my crock pot is my grama's Hamburger Soup. It is to die for, I think. 

4. How do you feel about private companies collecting data about you?

I don't think that how I feel matters. :( 

5. The Games of the 2014 Winter Olympics kick off with their opening ceremony this coming Friday...will you be watching? Which Winter Olympic event would you most like to see in person? Have you ever been to Russia? Any desire to go, Olympics or otherwise?

I would love to watch. But currently don't have any bunny ears to watch it on my local television channels. :( I think the event that I would most like to see in person is the figure skating and speed skating, maybe even the skiing and snowboarding events. I have never been to Russia. I do have a desire to go. Not necessarily for the Olympics.

6. Share a good or bad sports related memory from your childhood or teen years.

I remember playing softball for many years. I made some really good friends and even had my dad as a coach once or twice, or maybe I played against his team? I also remember taking Jazz Dance with my middle sister. I remember dancing to 'Summer Nights' from Grease. 

7. What's a must have song for you on a work out play list? If you don't work out, run, bike, swim, walk, or anything else that could be construed as 'exercise', then what's a song that at least motivates you to get up off the couch?

I think any song that is upbeat. 

8. Insert your own random thought here.

I hope that me and the kiddos can get over whatever it is that we are fighting. I don't like it when my kiddos aren't feeling well. :(

Super Bowl Fun!
