Still Here!

I'm still around- just busy! I've got the Christmas Enrichment Night swimming around in my brain along with Thanksgiving (we're alone this year) and Christmas shopping to plan! I know- everyone else is busy right now too so I'm not alone in this. Having healthy children would really help right now! They've all gotten colds that never end! I could deal with that much better if Robert, Sarah, and Eric didn't have asthma troubles with every little thing. Eric went in last Saturday and had ear infections and was put on a steroid. Robert was in the ER on Sunday all day as they tried to get his oxygen levels up to snuff. The nurse said I was very calm for a mother who just found out her son may be admitted because he can't breathe well. Don't worry- it all hits me later after I come home. Poor Peter had to be the one at home worrying. He's still having trouble but it's nothing we can't manage here at home. Now Sarah has started up but thankfully, she seems to have outgrown getting bad enough to go to the ER and we are managing it with breathing treatments. It's all so very tiring though! I am ready for a good nights' rest.

Can I just say that Joseph is SOOO cute!!! He just makes me smile. He just came up to me and tried to say Peek-a-boo. Too cute.

The big kids will be starting martial arts in December (that's the plan anyway.) Peter's work pays for a certain amount for physical finess expenses and this will count. The children are very excited about it. I wish I could join them! Robert has joined the scouting program and is having fun doing that every week as well. I have a picture from his birthday party I need to put up. Who says homeschoolers aren't social? He had 12 little boys at his birthday party that will say otherwise. It was so crazy and so fun! (I'm trying to remember if I already blogged about this...)

Peter's CFA test is in 2 weeks and then I will have my husband back until he starts studying again in January for test #2.

I don't know whether I will see the Twilight movie or not so let me know what you think if you go see it tonight or tomorrow!

Sounds like life is crazy for you! It's so hard when the kids are so sick, and so scary too! I hope you can stay healthy and that all your kids will be healthy soon!

It's so scary when the kids start having breathing troubles. I hope everyone is healthy soon! And having your husband gone studying so much must be very draining. ((hugs))

I don't know if I'll see Twilight either, I'm going to wait a couple of weeks and then decide.

Oh phew. I thought my blog reader was on the fritz. :P

Hope everyone gets better soon. Sounds like things are, sickness aside, happy and progressing well.

Oh, and love your lines about homeschooling. :) So true.

Glad you are still around! I'm glad everyone is finally getting back on the mend. Nicole, like Sarah has begun to outgrow the asthma related ER trips too, but I don't think we had nearly as many as you.
Yay for the kids starting Karate, they will love it!
Hope you get a good nights rest soon!

it is not fun having to deal breathing problems, sorry Lena.

I saw the movie today and LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!

How's everyone feeling now??

The kids have all been well for about 2 weeks now. We're still sorting out Robert's nose issues and both he and Eric's asthma issues but right now everyone is okay! I keep thinking I need to update but just haven't been in a bloggy mood lately. Sooner or later I'll do it though!
