We are a sick family

not as in gross, but ill!

since Erik had bronchitis, Adam was having the same syptoms last week. He was a sad little guy and when he is sad, then you know he isn't feeling well. So Last week I took him into urgent care. Those people at urgent care must know me by now!! I don't really like to take them into urgent care, but the hours are so much better and so much easier to get them in!

luckily he was ok. just a little cold and cough. Pediatrician prescribed him some cough medicine. 3 days later. he was good again.

Monday, Erik was back at school.
AND on the Friday before, I had spoken to his teacher over the phone to setup a parent conference for this week. She told me the kids would come out of school 1 hour early. I completely forgot to tell my husband.

So Monday he made arrangements with my mom and Adam to pick up Erik at school. She was doing things around the house when she hears someone banging on her back door.. she opens it and there was my poor little boy. HE WALKED TO MOM'S HOUSE ALL BY HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!!!! but he was so proud of himself. Mom said he was standing there with a big grin. I felt horrible for forgetting he was coming out 1 hour early!
Thank God he made it home safely though as there are a couple of streets he needs to cross. Luckily my mom and husband have given him some practice shots walking home, but walking behind him and checking if he looks both ways to make sure no cars are coming before crossing the street..
I felt like such a horrible mother. first time i forget.

Tuesday I wasn't feeling that great. I felt I was coming down with something.
Wednesday morning I had a throbbing headache and body ache and a fever to top it off. so I stayed home. My sweet mother still insisted for Hector to bring Adam to her so that I could rest. boy did that help. I think I slept all day long. I just could not get up. Not because I was tired, just because I wasn't feeling well!
But luckily I was better Thursday and back to work.

Thursday however Erik woke up with a fever again!!!!!! had him stay home from school and rest and rest. Luckily he was ok in the evening again.

Thursday night it was my husband's turn to feel sick.
he took some cold pills and just rested in the evening.. He's feeling better today Friday though, Thank God!

We are just waiting for the weekend to relax a bit.
hopefully no-one else will get sick!
