Not that you need a moment by moment recap of my health- but im still really sick. Fever went down, but it goes up at night. Im almost halfway through a giant box of tissues- my head hurts, chest hurts, sinuses hurt- Im a big whiny baby.No longer moving into that great 2 bedroom- instead am getting a roomate and finding a bigger house. Enlisting hubby in the househunting, I dont have the voice or the energy- but at least we have the money.Gotta feel better tomorrow

My husband says I am sick because of stress. Finding a home to rent, buying airfare, preparing our home- I guess it all finally got to me. I have a fever, a runny nose, a cough- Im miserable. I need to feel better!

It’s been busy, so I havent’ posted. We found a home to rent! We are moving mid March back to Florida. Hubby will help us get settled, then go to NTC, then take block leave with us in Florida before heading back to Hawaii for his trip to the middle east. Things are all falling into place! I still have a plethera of questions that need answering, hopefully i’ll get those answers tomorrow.We are all healthy, Baby is growing well- and all these short work weeks are making for a very happy me!

I think we are healthy again! No fevers for almost 2 full days. Juliet still has a rough cough, she got sick last night from coughing so much, but other than that- YAY! Just in time for a 4 day weekend!

Both kids are sick, its crummy. Yesterday, Juliet woke up hot- never getting more than 101 though. Her fever seemed to go away in the afternoon, but it came back full force last night. We kept her awake with us till 9, and then took her to bed with us so we could keep a good eye on her. At 4am I had to give her more tylenol, but when she woke up the fever was gone. I am keeping her on the tylenol today just in case, I dont need both kids having fevers at the same time.Colin woke up hot today, same thing though, nothing higher than 101. He is lethargic and moody- doesnt want to eat or drink anything, even tylenol. Had to give him suppositories of tylenol just like we did Juliet yesterday- at least they cant vomit that back at us. He seems to have gotten a little happier, its noon. Lets see what the rest of the day holds for us.

When I am frustrated or stressed, I read blogs. There are maybe 5 or so that I read regularly. I like knowing that my children are not the only hard to handle children. I like to live vicariously through those that are having a phenomenal day while mine was shot to hell. I think of it as akin to soap operas, except with more kids and less sex.Hubby is marinating steaks for tomorrow. He is participating in a chili cook off with his unit. He has never prepared fresh chili before, let alone 5 gallons of it, however he cooks fairly well and I have faith he’ll pull it off swimmingly. There are teams of 5, one head cook (hubby) and lots of beer (I mean chili!)- We’ll stay home and root his team on in our minds, while we play with our wooden trains and dig in the sandbox.The dog is evil. Ohhhh I wondered out loud today while briskly walking all over kingdom come to catch the demon that escaped from the laundry room door. We have special locks installed to keep the dog in- but I was on the carport chit chatting with my neighbor and Juliet decided it would be fun to let the monster run free- Go Monty, have fun.If it werent for my neighbor being outdoors, willingly making sure my children didnt run into oncoming traffic, I wouldn’t have gone after the dog. My balance isnt that great (pregnancy) and he just plain is pissing me off by running away. He ran out the door, down the street- about 2 blocks I think. Then when I get there, he runs back to our house. Then he ran next door, and back across the street to this large field we have by the front gate. There he runs back and forth, He’s a hunting dog and loves smells…I hate him. So, he finally has a moment of weekness and has to pee- thats when I was able to grab him. Did I mention that I hate him yet?It was really the most exercise I have gotten in a very long time- did NOT feel good.Gotta run, Needed in the kitchen to marinate.

I love craigslist- Its worse than ebay for me!Today was incredibly long. The weather right now is perfect- except that my children have no jeans or long sleeve clothing. We spent the day inside today, and boy did I pay for it. If they weren’t whining or crying- they were fighting.Tomorrow is Friday, come on and get here! Not much to say I guess- I am however happy that E R is new tonight- about time something came on new! I have till the 11th for Lost to return, and then more shows after that- but the 3 weeks without new shows has bit.

Happy New Year! Hubby and I had a great dinner, some champagne, and all is right in the world Juliet and Colin had a terrific day! We bought cupcakes to wish the world a happy birthday, played outside what seems like all day long, and they are now happily curled up in bed in their Christmas pajamas.Tomorrow is golf day. Hopefully there will be more to our day than just golf- but we’ll see No new years resolutions here. I will say though that we are closer to a name for this baby im growing in my tummy- Benjamin. We’ll see I guess?
