The Rash-Part 1

I love being a Momma to my nugget but no one told me that sometimes it is shitty to be a parent..... Yes I said shitty because that's the truth

Since December 9th I have been to the doctor 6 times and we have his well check up on Monday so that is 7 times in one month!!!!

He got the flu so I took him in to make sure he was not dehydrated. Then we had his ENT appointment. Then he had pink gunky eyes so back to the doctor we went on Friday (and those 3 were all within a week). They put him on amoxicillin and said that he had an ear infection and that would take care of his pink eye too.

By the next Thursday his eyes were glassy and his nose was so stuffed he could no breath out of it.

James who is my favorite at the office said that Grayson may have an immunity to amoxicillin so we tried a different antibiotic.

Here is where the rash comes in.

He got a dose on Thursday and Friday along with eye drops for the pink eye.

Saturday morning I woke up to a different baby. He was super needy and just clingy all day. He slept until 8:30 which my kid never does. Around 11 I was changing his diaper and I noticed it. I red dot rash all over his feet. so I freaked and thought oh no hand, food and mouth. I checked his hands and they were clear so then I looked at his back and stomach and it was covered in red bumps too. I called the on-call doctor and they said to stop the antibiotic immediately and to give him baby benadryl. I got him down for a nap around 11:30 and he slept until 3!!! 3 1/2 hours never happens at my house. He woke up a little bit better but the rash was still there. We had some running around to do so we took him with us because he seemed fine, we were under a storm warning so we wanted to go and get it done and over with just in case something happened. 

Let me say that if you tell a parent BABY benadryl they will go to 3 stores looking for BABY benadryl. After the third store and nothing I asked a pharmacist and they informed me there is no such thing and that I would have to give him children's. Fun fact they had children's at all 3 stores I was at.

We got nugget love home and gave him a dose of benadryl and prayed that he would sleep through the night, because the needy monster was back in full force.

He did but we didn't more on that in How we survived an ice storm.

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
