It was a Wicked week


First things first,  I am changing everyone's name.  Mostly because I am a little neurotic and a tiny bit just for fun.  If I can figure out how to do this, I will post everyones picture next to their new name.  The last weeks has been kind of crazy.  Someone has been sick around here for two weeks.  Last week Gilbert, Ashley, Samantha and I were supposed to go to Wicked.  Wednesday morning Davyn got sick.  We were supposed to leave on Thursday, the play was Thursday night.  Between 5 and 7 I went through a thousand different scenarios and could not come up with anything that would work.  I decided not to go.  It was a dark day.  We had been waiting to go for months and this was our Christmas present.  I decided to give my ticket to Gilbert's sister Suzanne.  I emailed her and she was very excited to go.  She emailed me back later and offered to watch Davyn.  Samantha was also sick and had missed the entire week of school and on the way down to California Ashley also got sick.  We got to LA and everyone crashed.  Suzanne drove all the way to LA to watch Davyn in the hotel room so that he could sleep.(you know I so owe you for that)  Gilbert and I and 2 sick kids went to see Wicked.  It was amazing.  We all loved it, even the two that ran out of motrin an hour and a half before it was over. (Mother of the year right here)  So we drive back home on Friday and pick up Dillon and Gracie.  A few hours after we picked them up Dillon came down with a fever. So I now have four sick kids.  This is so much fun. But wait there's more.  In the middle of the night on Friday, Gracie wakes up and is not breathing well and has a fever.  That's right 5 sick kids.  Saturday is a blur of MacGyver movies, and Sunday morning I wake up sick.  Needless to say it is Friday and although everyone is still coughing everyone is mostly better.  Gracie still has a runny nose and is sleeping alot, but I am not sure if that is carry over from being sick or because she just cut her second tooth.  Hopefully next week will be boring.

That sounds horrible! I'm glad you got to see Wicked though- I hear it's fabulous. I'm glad you have a blog now- it's easier to keep up with people this way. Well, at least for slackers like me.

Yeah, welcome to the world of blogging! I was so confused for a few minutes. I read the kiddies names and panicked thinking, "How can I have been calling them by the wrong names this whole time".
