No Fevers today!!
Today has been the first day in three weeks that NO ONE has a fever! PRAISE GOD, I can see the light!! I'm so thankful for all our friends and family who have been praying for our mini's to get better! While it still takes us about 30 minutes to pass out medications in the morning and at bedtime, we have been able to cut off 10 minutes by not having to take temperatures now!
Now that we have everyone well, our next step is to get everyone well-rested and back on schedule so we can finish our our school year! We have put off so much school the last few months because of sickness it is probably a good thing we do homeschooling or they would be so behind right now! Good thing we can use the summer to catch them up, and the fact that we are a whole year ahead helps a lot as well! Poor kids have been so exhausted during the day, I've managed to lose a few of them around our small house, and the only way I was able to find them was to follow the sound of snoring. During our weeks of sickness, I had the blow up mattress in the living room for those we needed to look after through the night. One day I couldn't find Sweet-pea (1yr) and was searching everywhere! Finally I heard the faint sound of snoring and followed it to the end of the bed. She was laying on the floor in the four inch space between the television and the blow-up mattress sound asleep! So 7:00-7:30 has become the new bedtime for a few days until they can get rested, and back on their nap schedule.
Staying on a schedule for us has become a necessity, especially during the school year! I guess you can say we are more of routine people, because if we start late I still try to do things in the same order for the same length of time during the day. I try my best to always keep at least meal times, nap times, and bedtimes consistent. Everything else we try our best at!
So this week my goal is to get our sleep schedules back in sync, I'm officially off third-shift duty, and back on days with my husband! Praying for a better week so we can shape up and get things back to normal!!
