Another Day of Madness April 1, 2008

I’m having a completely terrible, annoying day. Well pretty much the annoyingness started Sunday. It carried over to Monday when I thought Amy had an eye infection. So she stayed home from school. Kennedy has also been sick the past several days as well. She has had a cold then her eyes got really green and goopy and then she got a fever. So I ended up taking Amy and Kennedy to the doctor yesterday. Thankfully Scott and Joel seem healthy enough and they both went to school yesterday afternoon. Turns out Amy has a slight infection. She’s home again today taking medicine. She can go back to school tomorrow. Kennedy has a cold, a double ear infection and eye infections. Bad times.

So this morning I knew I’d be in for extra trouble because Amy would be home all day. It’s just a challenge having all the kids home and trying to entertain them. From the moment Kennedy woke up this morning she was running a fever. She has been clingy and crying most of the morning. I know she feels awful. There is little I can do about it. And it’s hard for me to carry her around all day. On top of that, it’s a rainy day so we can’t really go outside. Not that I can play very well with the kids outside when Kennedy is feeling so yucky. She just wants me to sit and hold her. Which pretty much makes me useless to the other kids. Everyone is bored and starting to get on each other’s nerves. And I’m about to blow a fuse. It’s the first day of April. I’ve had it up to my eye balls with people being sick and with being stuck inside. The kids are driving me nuts with their begging to watch TV and movies and play Ion or DDR. But we have little to do around here. I’ve just had it. I need a vacation. I need a week long nap. I need a sanity break. I need my kids to be healthy. I need the sun to shine. I need to have a good long SCREAM!
