This week has been a bit of a rough week. We feel like we are dealing with a lot right now and it feels like it is pouring on top of us.
We are going through some stuff with Harley right now. I don’t want to go into it because I am not looking for people to give me their opinion on what they think we need to do. We are dealing with it day by day and in the end it will come down to what Jason + I are comfortable doing. With that being said – it is still a frustration and drains on us emotionally.
Caroline went back to the doctor on Tuesday because she had a 103 fever at school. Ear infection #4 has hit her pretty hard. This is her fourth in two months. 5th antibiotic (even though this one is a repeater) prescribed to her since Dec 9th. I HATE when she doesn’t feel good. Bless her heart. She is so good at taking medicine, but she is starting to get really frustrated with not feeling well. We are doing what we can (which is not much!) and making sure she is as comfortable and well rested as she can be. Luckily yesterday she was back to her old self and when we go back in two weeks for them to check her to make sure they cleared up, we’ll have the tubes conversation. I just want my baby to feel better!
Jason got into an accident a couple of weeks ago (he is ok and it was the other girls fault – she got a traffic ticket and Ja has to go testify in court against her) and we became a one car family. It worked out alright and we all piled up in the mornings and I made my three stops and then we did it again in the afternoon. We were very lucky to have at least one car to help us out, but the insurance process has been less than wonderful. (Side note – we picked Ja’s truck up Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning we were both a little bit sad that we didn’t get to spend that extra 10 minutes together as a family. It’s funny how when you look for it life’s rough patches have some good stuff in them!)
I went to the ENT yesterday to find some answer to my chronic sinus infections. I finally started going to a regular doctor who sees me when I am sick and he noticed how often I was there. They told me my options are to get allergy tested or have surgery to widen my sinus – so my allergy testing will be in two weeks! Hopefully then we can get this mess under control. Between being a mom, a wife, and a teacher – I don’t have time to worry about me!!
Through all of this – I feel like today is one of the best days in a while. I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday and I was complaining about how dirty my house was and how frustrating that is. So after my doctors appointment and being outside in the sunshine and just doing something different, I went to go pick C up and when I put her down once we got home, I had the cleaning bug like crazy. I spent C’s nap cleaning the entire house. I felt so much better after doing that. Then we got C up, fed her some dinner, spent some time with her, and then put her to bed. Ja and I watched Grey’s and some Jersey Shore and spent some good time just hanging out together. It was 12:30 when we went to bed and C got up at 6 this morning (instead of her usual 7), so I thought I was going to be a monster today. But the clean house (and knowing I don’t have to do it this weekend), spending good QT with Ja, and getting to rock C this morning for a while before she went down for a nap (not kidding, she took a nap from 6:45 until 7:45 – she coughed herself awake and she was exhausted after breakfast) is giving me all the energy I need for today. Not to mention that it is Friday, it is a BEAUTIFUL day, and I have a full weekend to spend with my sweet (11 month old!) girl! I just need one of these every once in a while and I’ll be able to get through just about anything. Hopefully the sun will come out soon and our rain will go away for a little while!
