holidays 2011

oh my goodness. i am exhausted. this morning, i was so tired that i accidentally gave z prilosec (meant for baby s) instead of his antibiotics. luckily i realized this before z had left for gymnastics with grandma. i quickly ran out with the correct medicine, but i felt so horrible about it. i didn't think i was that exhausted, bu clearly i was! i've never done that before, and hopefully it will never happen again. i need more sleep!!!
but here i am staying up late blogging, because i can never find any other time, especially when i have two hands free at once.
baby s is a very sweet baby, but she takes so much energy. between the three of us, we've had at least 18 appointments since her birth. z has been sick, s has been spitting up so much... so busy. i've been going out of my mind having z miss so much preschool. it's difficult to entertain two kids. i'm really angry that his strep throat wasn't caught the FIRST time we saw the doctor, on day three of his fever. from now on i'm going to insist on a strep test. i had to take him in this past monday, on day seven of his fever, when they finally did a strep test (positive), a flu test (negative), and a herpes test for a sore he has on the corner of his mouth (negative). after antibiotics, he is feeling much better. no more fever, but he still tires quickly and is not yet 100%. luckily i purchased several crafty things to do from michael's, and those (along with way more tv and movies than i'd like to admit to) have filled up the time.
i really really need more sleep. i am definitely going to regret staying up late tonight. ugh.
