Runny noses, coughs, and diaper rashes...

I haven't had the time or the wish to write recently. First the kids got nasty coughs, those went away. Then our car started making a high pitched squeaking noise when the A/C was on (perfect timing, right? Since it has been 98 degrees outside?) Found out it's a small part that can be fixed by my father-in-law, thank goodness. Then, I get sick. Sinus infection/ fluid in my ear/ sore throat/ body aches... GREAT! So I am on an antibiotic, a decongestant, pain killers, an expectrant & nasal spray. (Let's hope this is safe ha)

So there is more, Avery's spitting-up is progressively getting worse and Cody calls me when I am at work saying she just won't stop crying and he's going to the hospital. I go too, and after 2 hours of basically being told we are crazy & she will grow out of it, we are right back where we started, a fussy baby & soiled laundry piled up so high I can't see straight.

To top it all off, Avery went from having a small diaper rash to a bacterial infection on her bottom, now she is on antibiotics (only 1 hour later at a different hospital, being scolded for not taking her to Cooks- the first hospital that told us we were crazy).

So here I am on Sunday, being extremely lazy & bored out of my mind ranting about our life the past week, but I can't help but feel bad for other people.

People who seem to have everything handed to them, never struggle, always get what they want. Those kind of people.

I MIGHT have it hard now, struggling everyday for my kids & my family, but one day, with some help from God, our lives will turn around for the better. I know it...!! I have faith.

Well, I guess I am done ranting for the day. Time to entertain the fussy baby, eat dinner, then go on a walk.

P.S. I will talk more about this later, but I have decided to lose weight. I don't think I am over-weight by any means, I just don't feel good about myself. I am ready to eat healthier & smaller portions, drink ONLY water & exercise as much as possible. Will post more about this soon!!

Hope everyone had a good weekend!
