When it Rains it Pours

Do you ever wonder when you're going to catch a break. A day when things go normal-whatever that is around your house. This week has been crazy..of course it started off with 2 snow days so our house was chaos. Jacob's headaches came back on Tuesday morning and continued until last(Wednesday)night. Everytime I turned around and thought that we had it under control and it was gone he'd be crying that it hurt again...he's spent much of the last two days in bed. Honestly I have no idea where it came from..I'm so confused with these headaches. We initially stopped everything on the list that the doctor gave us and the headaches stopped. I initially added stuff off the list back and he did fine. I couldn't find anything on there that was causing the headaches..he's had pretty much everything that we took away and done fine with it. Out of the blue Tuesday he gets another one and I am so perplexed now. He didn't have anything that he hadn't been eating and I honestly have no idea how to go about controlling these things now.

On top of that Allie isn't sleeping well..honestly that's an understatement. She is sleeping VERY little. She wakes up within 2-3 hours of me putting her down and I try to get her back to sleep and put her in her bed but when I put her down she wakes up most of the time immediately. When it isn't immediate it is within the hour. She ends up in bed with us and she still wakes up constantly..I'm talking 4-5 times a night and when she does sleep she's tossing and turning which is keeping me awake. I was up until 2 last night..slept from 2 until 4 and got David up with her and gave her a bottle. She went back to sleep and woke up within 30 minutes so I rocked her back to sleep and put her in her bed which didn't last more than an hour. She then ended up in our bed where she tossed and turned. Of course it's 8 here now and she's in the bed asleep..this is actually rare for her lately. She used to sleep late but the past few days she's been getting up at 7 or shortly after.

Lucas has had a horrible cough and stuffy nose for the past 3 or 4 days. Yesterday he came home from school complaining that his ear was hurting. I took him to urgent care because I couldn't get into our doctor that late in the day and he has an ear infection. I went to the drug store to get 3 prescriptions filled. They only had 2 of the 3 and were going to fax the 3rd to another drugstore. We waited 30 minutes to get 2 filled and then proceeded to the other drugstore alittle further down the street. I got there and they hadn't even taken the prescription off the fax machine and then told me it would be another 30-45 mins. By this time it was after 6..David had already missed his meeting and I hadn't even started dinner. So 3 hours and $200 later I headed home extremely tired and mad to finish dinner for everyone. David had to go back out later on to pick medicine up.

Caleb is getting alittle jealous lately. He's handling it well but I can see it coming out. He'll walk up to me out of the blue and put his head on my shoulder and just want to be held. He's still not acting out towards Allie which I am thankful for but I can see alittle bit of jealousy in him. I'm just glad he's handling it with only wanting to be held and not trying to hurt her!!!! He recently started saying "Oh My God" ...as cute as it was I about fell on the floor when I heard it the first time. Everytime he says it now I automatically repeat "Oh My Goodness" or "Oh My Gosh" right after him hoping he'll pick up on one of those. Most of the time he'll say the same thing that I do right after me but he's still letting the other slip every now and then.

So I'm here....have lots of reading and commenting to catch up on but just haven't had the time. I'm trying to shop for new health insurance right now and that's a pain in the ass pure and simple! Hoping for a relaxing weekend!!!!!!
