So crazy it’s coming out Craxy! 
Aurora had an ear infection 3 weeks ago I waited and waited for her to get better 10 days, we got her in and fixed it up, but then she got a cough, one that is still hanging on. She has coughed a phlegmy cough so much that she throws up after she runs around for just a minute and she cannot stop it. It has been 2 weeks of this now. I took her to the Dr yesterday. her ear infection is gone, and she is getting over the cold but has a bit of congestion still. Poor little 2 year old.
Last Satrday I wanted to cancel a “Saturday Boutique” that I had put together due to snow, being up most of the night(S) with Aurora and utter exaustion from not having nathan home for over a week and having just done I did my 1st “Saturday Boutique” I should have cancelled.
My babysitter would not watch Aurora, So I decided to take all 4 of them with me. I think one of the vendors is not talking to me anymore because of the kids! It was very difficult, Sierra’s manners are horrible, Hailey’s lack if responsibility is infuriating, Zach was an angel he just nicely played with the discovery toys train. And Aurora was sick and had to just sit in the car and watch TV and if she was freed. . .she would throw tantrums! UUUhhggh. It was a bad week to do the event. Traffic in was slow. and it was bitterly cold. So next week. I am doing it 1/2 day letting a friend take the morning, then paying her a bit and doing it in a warmer location with actual electricity and heat! =)
In the Midst of it I got suspended from my devanie@stout.org email (writing letters to my boutique vendors) account and LOST EVERYONES emails and it doesn’t look like I will be getting it back in the meantime please write me at devanie@stout.orgso I can get your email back on file. UUUggghh!
After a beautiful long nap today Aurora would not go to bed tonight and gagged a few times. eventually she gave up at 9:30 and ended up sleeping almost upside down in the recliner.
On a brighter note. . .
Nathan was praised up and down at work while he was on his trip. He got the title “Role Model” which is the top 1% of GE employees. He was awarded with a Technology Leadership award and plaque. And we found out that last September he hit 10 years and he was eligible for 4 WEEKS VACATION time a year! (we lost a really needed one last year~ but he will do better next time.
Thanks for sharing Dev. I really mean it. I wish I could come over and help out with the kids but alas I’m an absentee uncle. I miss you guys and love you all so much. I hope the coming days are better for you. I get all of 1 week vacation in this my first year at the new job so a trip to anywhere is out of the question. I’m also having to do a short sale on my house since I make so much less than I used to. Good times around here too. Take care sis Love ya.
Thomas, the Uncle not the Train.

Sounds like a regular week with kids and a hubby that has to work. Sorry! Are you careful to comment on other people’s blogs when you read them? I don’t think I have seen a comment on ours for a long time, possibly a year? Although I know you look at it. Sometimes people for one reason or another just don’t leave comments. We can have many looking at our blog and not recieve comments. Especially from family. I guess they do not want to admit they are looking.
Hopefully your hubby has returned and your life has slowed down and those kids are feeling better and you can take a break.
