Trying Not to Eat Everything in the House...

I just had a bad week...

We've been fighting THE COLD here...and I don't mean the weather...

Poor Eli & Abbey just got over stuff, and last week, about the middle (I've forgotten the days of the week, and am moving into where all the days kinda mush together...) Eli started coughing in the middle of the night...that barking/croup-like cough that scares me to death! Then, this weekend, Abbey started it.

The good news is that I think Eli's starting to get better, so that means Abbey will start getting better soon (although, she's older, and it doesn't seem to be hitting her as hard).

Between sleepless nights (I've been exhausted, just not able to sleep! ARGH!!), coughing/whining/grumpy babies, I about lost my mind last week...

Then I got a breather...the weekend...

Abbey stayed with Mammy & Papa (she was feeling OK), and Eli slept much better this past weekend (especially since Steve was here most of the weekend to help).

So there it is...I'm just hangin' in there, trying not to eat every scrap of food we have in the house out of stress & raging emotions...

Love you all!! :)

Hang in there! I wish I could give you advice, but I have the same problem, only with cigarettes.

Hope the kids stay healthy - and you and Steve too! - for the rest of the season. Spring will be here soon.

I'm so with you on this coughing stuff from the kids. The boys have had this for over a week and it's driving us crazy too! I hope they all get better soon!!!!

I understand your stress and raging hormones. I feel that I can bite the family's head off any time of the day....and now I've given up caffeine!

Lots of Love!
