Im back, sort of






Sorry it has been so long.  I took the two little ones and went to visit my parents and little brother.  We stayed for 5 days and the little cousins had a lot of fun playing together for the first time.  It is so fun seeing cousins together playing and it makes me sad how far away we are from each other.  It had been two years since Keaton had seen his cousins and one he never met.   The weather was horrible for Arizona and we had to find indoor things to keep them busy.  We did have one day we were able to go to the Phoenix Zoo but it was still windy and a little cold.

The day we left to come home I started not feeling so well.  By the time we landed I was a mess, fever, chills, sweats, shaking!!  I was so happy to see my hubby and older boys.  Well it has been 9 days and I am still only 65-70% better.  I still cant smell or taste anything, not sleeping well and coughing up a lung all night long!  I seriously cant not remember if I have ever been this sick before.  I have not left the house but to go to the doctor in 9 days.  

Not only have I not blogged but my eyes have been hurting so bad that I have not read any blogs either, maybe a couple but not for any length of time.  I hope my energy will pick up soon and I can start getting some real sleep.  My hubby was awesome today and let me sleep in until 10:30 this morning and then slowing roll out of bed and take a shower and get ready for the day.  I dont like that I cant taste anything and because of that I have not eaten very well and have lost 6 lbs.  The not smelling anything has not been too bad especially when it comes time to change those nasty diapers! ha  We need to start potty training soon. :-)

I tried to get a few pictures of the four little cousins together at the end of our trip.  We lined them up on my Mom's couch.  Not much luck when you have 4 under 5!  

I hope you did not give up on me.  Hopefully I will get back to blogging regularly soon.

Oh my! I hope you get better soon! Do you have bronchitis? I get bronchitis about once every other year and I get REALLY sick. One year it turned into pneumonia and another year I pulled a muscle in my back from coughing so much.

Get better soon!!!
