A full week
Just so we can look back and laugh in a few years. This week we have had in chronological order;
Maya diagnosed with Strep throat, and run a fever of 102
Our 100 year old furnace died Monday
Stayed at home even though it is below freezing, because our house is apparently crazy well insulated and although it is -3 with the windchill it's still 54* in the house
Built a gajillion fires in the fireplace
Lilly up literally the entire night Tuesday vomiting every 15 minutes
With no heat
Lilly diagnosed with Strep Wednesday
Still no heat
Got home from the doctors with Lilly and immediately have Allie say she has a sore throat
Call the doctor, have them call in a prescription for Allie as well
Discover that Lilly is allergic to Penicillin.
Still no heat
Call the doctor and get Lilly on a different antibiotic. Thursday.
Buy tons of yogurt
Buy flowers for the Target pharmacists because holy crap they are the nicest, most helpful go out of their way to help a Mom with everyone on antibiotics you have ever seen
Go to the pharmacy and deliver said flowers, pick up Allie's prescription and Lilly's new prescription.
Still no heat
Sit at home with 4 kids (yup, Ryleigh gets to have it too) who really don't want to be cooped up anymore. Thursday, still no heat
Try to take a shower but the furnace guys have shut off the gas because they are at the point of converting the new furnace from oil to gas, so no shower for me.
Try to be thankful that we have the means to buy medicine and have a new furnace coming.
Wish really hard that spring would just get here already.
Still no heat.

Oh DUDE! That is tough! The no heat part with sick kiddos really sucks. I am SO sorry for you. That so so so sucks! I hope you can all stay warm and everyone can get well.
I wouldn't wish that on anyone, especially not someone with 3 sick kids. Stay warm and get well soon!!
What a week! So, so sorry. =(
Oh man, that sounds utterly horrendous! I would be in tears. You are so good at seeing the bright side in every situation!
Strep is going around crazy this winter! I am ready for spring too.
That is one rough week!! I hope by now you are all healthy in a warm home!
