Busy Belnaps

Why a few days ago really stunk

This poor precious peanut was the first to get the Swine Flu

she spent 5 days on our bed like this

while her fever bounced back and forth from 102 to 105

(it even hit 106 one night)

and she had a cough that was RELENTLESS

this headless monkey got it next

we built lots of these to keep the peace

we played with these

and did several loads of this

and the girls watched WAY TOO MUCH of this

oh, and baby got it too.

he did this for 2 days straight

it's a wonder how I've any hearing left in my right ear

(incidentally, baby has only about 1/4 of his voice right now

due to his incessant screaming)

In the last week and a half,

Dr. Drew made 2 trips to CVS Pharmacy

(both times in the wee hours of the morning)

he picked up scripts that he placed himself

(it's about time we enjoy the fruits of our labor)

We went through 2 bottles ea. of Tylenol and Motrin

Awake hours surpassed sleep hours at night (only during the first week)

And during the height of baby's irritability,

the girls decided to drive each other crazy by teasing, tattling, and crying

it all peaked one day-

day 7 of the Swine Flu-

the day referred to in my tiny post below

and there you have it.
