A Sick House And The Octomom came for a visit.

Lo has had her sickness...hers is mostly allergy related. She is doing much better too. Finally got over the "roid rage" and as far as I know there were no fatalities.
*thank you baby Jesus*
Coach has had his fair share of allergies. They are pretty constant from December to April.
We go through lots and lots of tissues. I just bought 2 more cases at costco this week. Yes, 2 cases. All the green stuff I do around here, then I go and take down trees for the pure comfort of my families noses. Go figure.
Oh wait, am I taking down trees or cotton farms? I will have to check into that. Seriously though, we can't live without tissues. I suppose back in biblical times they used leaves, or perhaps they had no allergies or colds....
Oh, I am really off track now. *imagining Jesus sneezing and someone blessing him*

The only one in the family NOT affected by allergies is our little Linds.
But this past week she caught some sort of bug. (I call it the FUNK) She started Saturday morning with a fever. Which was horrible timing because we were scheduled to sell girl scout cookies that morning. So, I dosed her up with Tylenol and we forged on to the sales.
That worked. We take our commitements seriously.
Until we got home. Then it really hit her. And it hit her hard.
I did not take her temp the right way, you know I just did it the Mom way.
By touching her forehead. She was hot, but not hospital hot.
She was just the "take more tylenol, eat some soup, drink some juice" kind of hot.
Well, that is what we did all Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Well, the fever was gone by Sunday afternoon, but then started the runny nose.
It was a snotfest of sorts. ewww. that sounds gross. well, it is.
As a matter of fact, Coach and I joked that she has taken the family room and the tv hostage.
She set up her clinic in there and no one wanted to take any chances on catching the funk. (If I had a bubble for her, she would have been in it)
So, come Tuesday morning, she could not get up for school.
Well, not that she could not wake up, she physically could not get up.
The Funk bug had somehow affected her leg muscles. (or from just laying around too much) But her leg muscles were so tight, that she had a hard time walking. (her nose was just too runny for school too)
(I remember having this happen to me years ago after being sick for a few days, all of a sudden I woke up one day and could hardly walk. It took a few days to get better.)
Well, by Tuesday night, she and I were kinda laughing at HER, trying to walk.
She was wobbling around like a very pregnant woman. You know, legs wide out, like she had been on a horse for 16 hours.

Earlier in the day, we saw a clip of the "octomom" on a news blurb.

SO I told her that was what she looked like too. Then I started call her "Octomom."

Whereas she told me that she was going to have 26 children so that she can name them all through the alphabet.
So, she started with the letter A and stopped at Z with all these crazy baby names.
And they were crazy. I can't repeat them, cause I don't want any of you getting any ideas for your own future children.
By Thursday, I gave her her meds and sent her to school. She was feeling better, but still going through the tissues.
She looks much less like the Ocotmom now, and more like my little angel.

(I put the angel part in cause she reads this blog)

I hope everyone is healthy, not with any funk, snotfests or Octomom wobbling issues.
