Back into the Swing of Things

Well, the entire Gaston clan has been sick over the past 2 weeks. First Russ had this horrible cough, then Benn came down with a stuffy nose and raspy cough, and Avah got a severe ear infection (poor baby!). Now...now its my turn. I too have the worst ear infection I've had in a long time (doc says if I have one more this year, she wants to put tubes in! Can you believe it? They really put tubes in adults ears?!) and I'm plugged up, coughing, the whole package.

So, enough complaining, I just want to know...when will it end? I had every intention of starting the new year off right. You know, exercising, eating write, etc. BUT I've been one lazy girl (trust me, my laundry and dishes are piling up!) and I haven't felt like eating much of anything - especially nothing thats good for me. So, here's to 2009. Hope this isn't a preview of how the entire year will be.

The good news is the kids are feeling better. Avah's been on antibiotics for a few days and Benn has been taking down 6+ ounces of milk every 2 1/2 to 3 hours! How will I keep up with the milk demands of this kid? :)

It also helps that we're getting back into the swing of things. I thrive on routine and getting back to work, and a more structured routine with the kids has really helped. I have my first gymnastics meet of the year on Wednesday in Sturgis too. I'm looking forward to it, but at the same time its far away for a weeknight and its supposed to snow. (Yuck) Well, hope everyone has a great first full week of 2009.

Oh! I am sorry so sorry about your ears! I hope you are feeling better soon. I know what you mean about the routine, though. My sleeping habits have been SO messed up over the last 2 weeks. I feel like a nerd saying this, but it is kinda nice to be back at work!
