Happy, Happy Monday! Well the weekend is over! Phew that was a busy one! We did get a lot done, though not nearly enough! Isn’t that how it is? The list is always growing :) I am excited for what we did get done! I had a lovely date night with Mike and his parents, ironically that is the first double date I have gone on with them since they have been staying with us! They have been here off and on since April! It was lots of fun and I am so glad I got to hang out with them. He has amazing parents and I love both of them very much! We also had a lovely visit to our local prompt care. If you remember last week at Thanksgiving, Marsha and Charli were sick. Lucy also ended up getting sick and they just weren’t getting better. We took them to prompt care on Saturday and guess what! Double ear infections and sinus infection for Marsha and single ear and sinus infection for Lucy and Charli! What! I am a great mom! It was ten days before I took them to the dr. people! They had not been pulling on their ears or anything. I just thought it was a really bad cold, Whaw waw… However they are on a great medicine and are all ready feeling a bit better! YAY~ We did have fun hanging out with them that day, we were able to see the dr. and some great nurses that we had not seen in quite some time! ON a side note, to all you nurses out there… you guys are amazing! Your happy way of handling patients makes all the difference to the moms and kids out there! Thank you! Okay, so now to today! Three kids all on antibiotics! How to keep track ? This is what I do! It works wonderfully in remembering who got what… I take the medicine bottle and make spaces for as many days as they need to take it. In this case, they \have to take it once a day for ten days. Once the spaces are made, when I give them the medicine that day, I just put an X there, now when I have to do it twice a day I put a / first and then when I give them their next dose I turn the / into an X. Thank heavens for it too! By day six I am trying to remember what day I started and so forth! This way it is right on the bottle. I use a permanent marker too! So today, will be a cozy day! We had our first real snow yesterday! FIVE INCHES!! I am sooo happy! Have a happy day!!
Make the spaces, as they take their medicine, I make an X.. super easy!
Three little prescriptions all in a row!
Even though these sweet girls are sick, they still are so happy! Loving barbies in the kitchen! Yes, charli is wearing her favorite dress! and Yes I asked if she would like a sweater…. “no, thanks” :)
HUGE Hugs!
