Where has 2011 gone?

I cannot believe that it is already March 1st!  I feel like I just finished cleaning up all the christmas wrapping paper and decorations....february was not a great month for our household in the health department.  it seems we have been plagued with some virus, infection, or asthma related illness since nearly the beginning of february.  i am glad to see march come and with that means we will be springing forward in just a matter of days....yippee!  i definitely miss having sunlight into the evening hours and have so longed for that for a while now.

i fell off the 21 days of organization wagon on day two when all the illness came rushing through our front door...i think it was totally the devil preventing me from decluttering our home so that we could open our home up for small groups at our church. ok, enough of giving the devil any time in print...

I am vowing to do a better job of blogging this month, i promise! 
until tomorrow....

Fevers, Chills, Tissues, and Cabin Fever

On day two of me beginning the 21 Days to getting Organized Challenge I was confronted with a hated four letter word in our house....no, not the ones you are thinking of, but a word that is very much despised in our home.....SICK!  It didn't use to be such a serious word, but since the youngest was diagnosed with asthma as a wee little girl, it is serious business b/c when she gets sick, it takes her longer to recover!  This has been the worst case of the sickies she has had in a very long time.  This has been a very, very long week....3 visits to the doctor and too many meds to try to dispense without a chart to make sure they are being given properly.  And as a parent all I want to do is make it all better....take the suffering away from her.....this is one time i wish i could have a magic wand and wave it over her head and ***PooF*** she would be all better!!!  So we went from a single ear infection into full blown severe bronchitis/borderline pneumonia in less than 48 hours (and she was on an antibiotic too).  Our ped's dr. thought is was pneumonia and i am still not sure that it wasn't (i know you are asking, is she a doctor? no, but i know my daughter and she has had pneumonia enough times that i know what it looks like on an x-ray too), but she is on a different antiobiotic now and seems to be on the mend SSSSLLLLLOOOOOOOWWWWLLlLLYYY....today is day seven and the poor thing has such cabin fever.....i am hopeful that she will be well enough to go back to pre-school tomorrow, but it depends on how the rest of today goes....
she is just too darn cute...even taking a breathing treatment!

so needless to say, i hope to resume the 21 day organizing challenge tomorrow with my computer desk...which i am not looking forward to at all b/c the word disfunctional is the best way to describe it....just wait, you'll see!
