the everlasting raging fever of 104 degrees

has finally died down..
we're all getting our voices back. which is both good and bad. avery still has not been to school in over a week...today he played catch up and slept all day. *YAY
Im delerious from sleep deprivation. I think last night was the first nights sleep Ive had in over three weeks. it felt good.. but not good enough.
Junipers fever died down, and we had enough energy to plow through halloween night.. only to recoil sunday night with both kids waking up sounding like dying seals and Avery's skin so hot to the touch his eyes were rolling back in his head. scary.
Croup. the gnarliest sounding sickness ever. a totally untreatable virus that affects your bronchial tubes.
Hello Humidifier and long long nights of bundling up babies and carrying them outside into the fresh air.
new parents.. do not be alarmed at the sound of your child barking like a seal. i wish someone had told me this. the first time it happened to juniper when she was a baby we raced her to the emergency room becuase i thought she was dying.
anyways.. theres nothing you can do about it.. except get some cool moist air.
its so heart wrenching seeing them gasp for air. alas, they do survive. even if you dont.. wish someone would rock me for long hours into the night (oh, ya.. thanks mom)
anyways.. that explains my random horrible bout of athsma. aka.. adult croup.
im ready. im SO ready for everyone to feel good again.
and im ready for a fucking drink!

hahaa. the stomach flu just wasnt good enough for all of us to endure !! huh mother nature!??? are we done yet?
someone is avery's class has swine flu. yuck.

Now im going to go make dinner, put the kids in the bath, open a bottle of wine, and start folding the pile of laundry that has overtaken my bedroom.
