Allred Fam

Monday, February 25, 2008

I have forgotten what life feels like in the world outside of our house and the illness that it contains. Out of the past 7 days, I have been out of the house twice, and both times it was to take a sick kid to the doctor.

This is what my dresser looks like with all of the medications piled up that I have had use for over the week to try and alleviate some of the symptoms of my sick boys.

Sad little Luke after going to the doctor on Saturday, having caught the eye infection from Thatcher as well as an ear infection and cough... it was hearbreaking.

We had to keep track of all the medications we were giving and the different dosing schedules, so here is how my week went...

We went through a TON of this!!

I was able to get out for a run on Saturday afternoon thanks to my mom watching the kids for a little while. Thanks mom. That helped relieve some stress.

Thankfully today both boys have a regular temperature and Thatcher will probably be going to school tomorrow.

I am looking forward to getting out more these next few days!

Hope you all had a better week...

Thatcher Quotes

Thatcher was going to Lagoon with my dad and some of his aunts and as they were pulling into the parking lot he looked at all of them and said, "yeah...I'm gonna need some cash".

So yesterday morning I was wearing my glasses before I put my contacts in and Thatch came in and asked me if I was wearing Daddy's glasses. I said no, these are mine. Then he said, "Are you sure? Because you look like a man in those glasses."

Thatcher was singing to himself in his room and I heard him from down the hall in my room and yelled to him, "Why are you so cute?" He yelled back, "Because you treated me like I was cute!"

I put on a hat to go to the park yesterday and when I went in to get Thatcher he said, "nice hat mom, I never knew you could look so cool".

I went to put his seatbelt on him in the car, and he said he could do it himself. I said, are you sure Thatch? You know how to do that? He said, " watch and learn mom.... watch and learn".

Mat was driving and he asked Thatch how he was doing in the backseat. Thatch replied, "just chillin". Mat said, Chillin like a villain? Thatch says, " That doesn't make sense, villains are bad... they don't just chill!"

Last night while my parents were watching Thatcher, he had to go poop and when he was done he called my brother in to wipe his bum. My brother said, Thatcher I don't know how to wipe bums very well. Thatcher replied " You wipe your own bum don't you?"

At dinner while eating pork chops, he took a bite and said, "Mom what is with the chicken?"

I put a tire back on his toy car for him and after I was done he said "wow mom, that's pretty impressive!"

We were in the Target parking lot and he saw a paper cup in one of the parking stalls. He pointed it out to me and I said, that's not very nice is it? referring to littering, and he looked back at the cup and said sadly, "yeah, poor little cup".
