Tis the season for colds....


Over the weekend, my kids caught a cold and it's not just any cold it is a whopper of a cold. On Saturday we were at a baby shower and the other two kids (not mentioning any names Kati) haha.... Anyways back to the story. Kallen and Kynlee had colds but if your a mom you have probably come to figure out the same thing I have, they are going to get it from someone so no use in trying to shield them from the sickies. We get home Sunday night and Averee had started sneezing and then came the runny nose. Monday came and sure enough Ryder starts in on the sneezing and runny nose. Well come last night I think I thought my kids were going to fall over at any moment. They were like walking zombies! I finally get them off to bed. Averee does pretty good until about 11 and then she couldn't suck on her binki so she started freaking out in the middle of the night, about every 30 mins she would start screaming. You try to comfort but really they don't even want you to touch them, yet on the other hand they don't want you to go anywhere? What gives???? Ryder just kept getting worse and worse as the night progressed. (And keep in mind he has Asthma so when he gets a cold and if it gets bad enough it will trigger it and last year we had to take him in to get steroid shots to open up his air ways.) He would wake up last night about every 30 mins also and cry, it was so sad... He finally climbed in to bed with me, and Justin went out to the couch (he had to work at 7 this morning) I still don't think that really gives him an excuse to run away and get some good sleep when I only got like an hours worth last night!!

I feel so bad for my kiddos. But what do you do? They are going to get sick and not understand what in the world is going on, and in the end you will probably get it too....

So over all there really wasn't a point to this story just that I'm jealous my husband got to sleep and I didn't...
