Blogs are more fun with pictures

But I don't have any! :) (At least any new ones!) These last couple of weeks have been the pits at our house! But counting my blessings, the poop parade arrived at a time when I only had 1 shift to work and calling in sick does wonders.

Cyle was sick for about a week and a half. He came home from work one night and took a couple days off after that. Let's just say his 20lb weight loss in 1 week does wonders for our weekly goals! Work is crazy for him due to the holidays.

I am still working and doing school while attempting to fit sleep somewhere in the mix.

Xander and Cooper both had the same bug that Cyle did. In fact it started the same night as him too. I was not too enthusiastic about the midnight to 3am barf spree from Cooper, promptly followed by the 3am to 5am barf spree by Xander. But hey, who needs an alarm clock when you can be woken up at exactly the time you need to by a child barfing down your back?

Just when I thought the bug had passed (after doctors visits and immodium) Xander decided (or rather his body decided) that he didn't really like that bug so much and so he had an allergic reaction to it. The poor boy broke out in hives from head to toe (I wish I had better pictures than the ones I took with my phone). His knees and elbows swelled up to the size of baseballs. Because of the nasty reaction, we now have a child with major 'roid rage. (probably not, but he has not been the nicest child to deal with.)
