Snot

The Leuck's are sick. ….

Secreting from every orifice 

I caught her mid yawn.

Well most of them anyway, Jeryd has lucked out so far.  Myself, Logan, Remy, and even miss Scarlet have been inflicted with an illness consisting of fever, body aches, cough, and of course....Snot; so much snot, it seems to be everywhere.  I feel like I have made my body weight in pure snot (lovely huh).  Poor Scarlet doesn't know what to do with herself.  I am constantly torturing here with the dreaded bulb syring and saline drops, so much so that I find her holding her breath whenever the green torture divice comes into her view. 

Rem thinks that it is super funny.

I hate being sick, I also hate being sick when it is my job to take care of others who are sick.  We mommy's need a place that we can go when we are feeling crummy, where there are “mommy's” to take care of us.  I found myself crying the other day when my sweet husband came home and asked what he could do to make me feel better.  People need to ask mommy's that more often.  At that moment I was actually able to take a break and assess my current condition rather then focus on someone else's, and you know what,  I did need someone to help make me feel better.  My hubby rocks, he made me take a bath and he got the kids ready and in bed by the time I got out.  Xoxox

Still sick and it's day three, hopefully this won't last much longer (and at least we don't have the stomach bug that is going around).  I missed a mommy function that I was looking forward to because of this illness, I am really annoyed at my body for inhibiting my ability to go out and interact with adult humans.  I NEED a mommy break.  On a lighter note my diet is going well, probably because I don't feel like eating anything.  I lost three lbs over the past three days...maybe I should eat something, but who wants to eat when the sense of taste is lacking.  Boo hoo boo hoo.  I do love that I get to spend the day snuggled with my babies, Rem is so lovey when he is sick, playing with my hair is the only thing that offers him comfort;  play away baby, play away, that's what I am here for. 

I just want you all to know how excited I am about moving to California.  I need sunshine like a junkie needs drugs.  I have suffered through enough of these miserable Spokane winters and I think I am deserving of some sun-dress wearing weather.  Jeryd and I have been perusing the Internet for homes to buy and it has been really fun.  I can't wait to see what we end up with. 

Here is to health and happiness.....may they find their way to my door (and to yours too if you are in need).
