Ok, so I've heard that the first year a child is in school they bring home "x" amount of viruses and same goes for first year teachers until they build up immunities to everything they're exposed to. Here's my question...is it normal that they bring home EVERY SINGLE VIRUS!??! I mean really! I swear if someone on the other side of the school who never has contact with Abby gets sick, I guarantee Abby has/will catch it and bring it home!! This poor girl has stayed sick this year! And once again, she's got a cough and congestion that she has shared with Samuel and Maddy. Just once, couldn't she have been spared getting sick? I mean we leave in 3 days!!! Aye ya yaye! She still went to school today because she wasn't running any fever and I'm still not completely sure it's not just allergies. The weather has been so whack that my dandelions are blooming so obviously there's pollen in the air. Sammy has been sneezing like crazy so maybe it is just allergies...but their allegra hasn't done anything to help! Abby also informed me that a little boy in her class has a really loud cough and he finds it funny when he coughs on her or others....niiiiice!! Thank you to the parents of that little boy for drilling into his head the importance of covering your mouth/nose when you sneeze/cough!! I really don't have time for more sickness right now!! I have too much to do to get ready for our first family vacation!
My brain is on overload right now! I feel like I am NEVER going to have everything together, packed, and ready for our vacation!! This year will be our very first family vacation ever! I mean, we've gone camping with Abby when she was little, and we traveled to Florida a couple of years ago with my parents and stayed with family, but we are venturing out onto the open road with just the 5 of us, and will be staying in a condo on the beach!! Chris is so excited that I've almost had to tie him into his recliner in the evenings to keep him from jumping in the car and taking off! Haha! He LOVES road trips, loves to drive, and is itching to get going. He's so hyped about it I feel like I have to keep reminding him that it's not just him! Ummm hello? How can you be THAT excited about being on the road for a trip that is 12 hours and 21 minutes (JUST driving time...not factoring in any stops!) with a 4, 3, and 2 year old?! I'm excited about getting to Florida but would have no problems being heavily medicated during the entire trip down there!! I wouldn't want and would never medicate my kids for that amount of time but I would certainly not stop someone from medicating me! I'm glad he's so excited! Maybe once we are on the road his enthusiasm will be contagious but for the moment it has made me almost physically ill just thinking about the whole trip. If I could, I'd click my heels until they bled to get us there quicker! Don't get me wrong I am really excited about being down there. The condo looks awesome, we'll get to see all kinds of friends and family, let the kids play in that sugar white sand while looking out over the Gulf of Mexico....oh...I can't wait!!! Just get me through the trip there!
The kids are as excited as their daddy! Samuel asks every night "we goin to Forda when its wake up time?" No baby, not until Friday. Then in the morning he walks in the playroom and asks "we goin to Forda today?" No baby just a few more days....he's been doing this EVERY night and EVERY day for three weeks!!! LOL In fact, when I'm on the phone or talking to someone he can be focused on something but if he hears the word "Florida" he says "YAY!!! Forda!!!! We goin?!" It had gotten so bad for a while that I started referring to it as the "F word" because he would ask a million times if we were leaving, saying he was ready to go etc. He did this enough that now when Madison hears "Florida" she throws her arms up in the air and yells "Yay! Forda!!" Oye! So I guess everyone is excited about this trip and ready to go. I just have to get everything done, laundry, picking out clothes, packing, making sure we have all meds/special blankets/Maddy's bunny/Sammy's cars, and get the house clean so that I don't come home to work!!! Guess maybe I should sign off of here and get to work then. It's Wednesday...hump day...appropriate because I really need to hump it if I'm going to get all of this done! Wish me luck....I'm going to need it!!!!
