booo.

i do not like to be sick. i do not like my body to be unable to respond to my every whim. i do not like to feel unable, uninspired, under the weather....and yet here i am. boo.

i don't know where we caught this creeping crud but me and the kiddos have had everything from pink eye, coughs, ear infections, sinus headaches...yuck. i took a flying leap deeper into 'alternative medicine' and have tried some interesting things out on us this time. the cold sock treatment-- you immerse your feet in really hot water then plunge the into your freezing wet cotton socks then your dry wool socks- and then you go to bed. ummm- sure why not. it did help the congestion... i dripped hydrogen peroxide in ari's ear- haven't heard her complain about her ears since...who knows? we did the breastmilk in the eyes for the pinkeye-- still a little crusty but definitely getting better. so if we can emerge unscathed fom this ordeal-- that would save us lets see-- 3 dr apts @ $30 each + 2 pink eye scrips @ $10 each plus ear infectcion scrip @ $25=== $135!! not too bad...but i am working hard for that money. truth be told nate is really doing most of the work since i was in bed with wet socks. :)
