My apologies for the lateness of this post! It has been a heck of a week around here. While Kaitlyn was recovering from double ear infections with a burst eardrum, I was developing a cold that first turned into bronchitis, then went up into my nose and ears. As I type this, I'm surrounded by a pile of crumpled tissues, a box of Luden's cough drops, and another box of Vick's Nature Fusion cold pills (which really work, and taste like honey, and no they didn't pay me to say that!). On top of all of that, Nathan developed a stomach bug with a fever two days ago, and Ryan with a different stomach bug. Chris is the only one of us not sick, and I told him if he got sick, I was totally checking into a hotel for a couple of days because I cannot pick up any more tissues or clean up any more puke or I will LOSE MY MIND.

Life According to Kaitlyn Nov. 2009

Kaitlyn with crown

Me: Let's go outside in the sunshine and get some fresh air. K: But I don't like sunshine. It gets in my eyes. Chris: If you're hungry, go get a snack in the kitchen. K: I can't do that! I'm too young to use a kitchen. Me: Time to brush your teeth. K: I don't want to brush my teeth. It makes them feel too sparkly. Me: Let's head outside! It's a beautiful sunny day. K. Let me get my sunglasses. (goes into her room, comes out with two tea set cups over her eyes) Ready! I have my cupglasses on. **************************************************** For the last three days, she's been insisting on wearing this crown and veil I bought for her at Disney World. I'm doing a review for Girls Can't WHAT?, a website that empowers girls to pursue their dreams no matter what roadblocks they encounter, and they also sell t-shirts. They offered me a shirt for Kaitlyn, so I let her pick. She chose one that says "Girls Can't WHAT?....Rule the World". Watch out, … [Read more...]
