When It Rains, It Pours!

So much for my "Perfect Attendance" award!  Today I had to miss my first day of school.  I'm so bummed.  Not to mention that I had two tests today that now I will have to make up.  I swear, I can't get a break!  It's always something, or SOMEONE!  Bryson has been sick off and on for over a month!  I'm beginning to wonder if he inherited the wonderful genes of mine that created ALLERGIES!  I thought that maybe, just MAYBE, I could get one kid who didn't have them.  But I'm convinced he does.  I don't know how soooooooo much snot can come out of such a little body!  Trent and I are having to change our shiny, snot stained shirts several times a day lately.  The poor kid freaks out the second he sees that blue snot sucker now!  And let's talk about strength!  It takes both of us to hold him down to even be able to use the dang thing!

Then this morning Ethan wakes up and almost immediately starts having a pretty scary asthma attack.  I swear, I jinxed myself.  I was just telling a friend how his asthma hasn't been acting up for quite a while.  Thought I was getting lucky.  NOT!!!  (Do people still say that?)  And to make it worse, of course, it made him panick.  So trying to get his rescue inhaler in him was quite the chore.  After all was said and done, we got him taken care of.  Keeping him with me today to monitor him.  I'm a freak.  I don't trust anyone else.  Especially when it comes to my kid's airways closing up!

So, I'm missing school. :-(

  1. I LOVE your posts! It helps me get caught up on the ones that I loves lives while I'm here in manhattan and going to school!
    Can't wait to here from you real soon!
    P.S. you're starting to make me want to start to blog! My roommate and I were starting to think about starting one. "These are the days" we would call it. We would just talk about the ordinary day of a college student. (I think my parents would enjoy this very much cause then they would know exactly what we were up to!)
    Love and miss you!
